Hi! I'm having a little difficulty sharing my iTunes library over my campus network. When I connect the ethernet cable directly to my computer, all is well, but using Airport, I can't share a damn thing. Is there some kind of firewall running with Airport, or what? How can I fix this? I would greatly appreciate some help, as I'm new to wireless networking, and I've exhausted all of my knowledge on the issue. I've done a search and have come up with similar topics with no answers. Anyone know? Thanks for any help!

open the airport admin utility. Click 'show all settings.' Then the 'network' tab. Then uncheck 'distribute IP addresses.' At the bottom right, click 'update' and let your base station update itself and come back online.

Well, that made shared music show up in iTunes, but it made my base station disappear in Airport Admin. Utility, and I can't get online now. Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks for your help, Oracle.

connect directly to your base station with ethernet and your mac should be able to see it.

the base station should allow you to get online if it was doing it before the chance. That's how I have mine set up here, and that configuration keeps the base station from creating its own subnet on my home network.

When I uncheck "distribute IP addresses," DHCP is disabled. I tried configuring my TCP/IP settings manually, but I don't know much about networking, and my network administrator said our network only works automatically. He said I can't manually configure anything. Do you know anything I could do? Thanks so much for your help.

configure tcp/ip for 'using dhcp,' not manually.
