Hi, here is the deal.
Airport Base station at home, cable conection.
Hotspot with free access, also cable conection.
Both fron same ISP.
Well the networking someway gets involved and a lot of airports and computers show up in the network, so I can admin my airport from there, at home I have a comp with iTunes in share mode, so I can acces with a PowerBook and listen in every place, the idea is to make it available there, how can I make it ? I have to add acces to a computer there to my airport ? so it shares there also ? or what will be the correct way to do it ?

Thanks and sorry for the english.

What I would do is copy your music from the computer that is sharing to your PowerBook. Then you can add that computer to your Authorized Computers list with Apple to play your music. You can authorize the PowerBook when you try to play any of the music you got from the iTunes Music Store if you have an open slot for another authorized computer. You can have up to 3 authorized computers.

Then you can listen to your music on your Powerbook anywhere you go

With the older versions of iTunes this could be easily done by just setting up port forwarding on your home router and opening the home firewall for iTunes's sharing port (3689). Unfortunately Apple didn't like people sharing iTunes music with strangers, so recent iTunes versions restrict sharing to your local subnet.

You can still do it - by jumping through hoops (or, jummpiing through a proxy on your local subnet.) Try iCommune as one such.
