Here is what I am thinking of doing but need you networking guru's advice to make sure I am doing this right.
Am getting a apple tv. I have a mac pro and a 24 inch imac in the bedroom and the 50 inch tv in the living room. I use my imac to watch movies in bed using front row. I am thinking moving my itunes library to the pro, do a direct connect (ethernet) between them and use the pro for streaming my videos to the tv and (if possible) watch my movies on my imac. 1) Can I get front row to access the pro for the movies throught ethernet to my imac or will I have to stream it from the pro throught the apple tv back to my imac?

Been looking on apple's web site. Read conflicting info on this. One part says yes and another says no. I'll just give it a shot and see what happens. If anyone know a better way, please feel free to chime in. tnks

I got it working. Sweet. I do have a delema though, I don't have a wireless card installed on the mac pro. Instead of buying one and installing it, will a USB one work with apple tv or would it be better to install a apple card? Plan on moving my entire library to my pro since I leave it on all the time for crunching grid stuff. I'll check whats out there but if someone out there is using a USB wireless modual, let me know how well or bad it works. I'll post in the hardware section.
