iTunes Windows Discovers Blue

iTunes Windows discovered the Blue iMac on the network and listed its shared library. (See snapshot.) So at the moment I am listening to Cat Stevens on the Dell laptop being served from the Blue Mac. The same 3-year-old iMac is hosting this site and the kids are currently playing the SIMS on it. Sharing only works on the same subnet since version 4.1 when Apple realized they had shipped (with 4.0) the ability to discover and broadcast tunes anywhere on the net. Within days, hacks were released that let you go across subnets (or anywhere on the internet.) I needed it because my network has two subnets: 1 wired 1 wireless.
