I have a PowerBook that I want to share my iTunes playlists from. It's connected to the net by an AirPort card and my IP shows up as 10.0.2.2 which I'm pretty sure is meaningless to the outside world. Where do I find the real number to give to my friend who wants to access my playlists?

Of course you'll also have to setup a port mapping in the airport to tell the airport where to direct the traffic.

Hmm I wonder, is that computer the only one on the airport network, and the only computer attached to your Cablemodem/DSL line?
