iTunes Sharing

Hi all,

I have a problem with iTunes Sharing on my home computers, and also with Bonjour server on my NAS.

So this is the problem:

I have 2 notebooks (one with Microsoft XP SP3, one with W7) and both of them have wireless adapters.

I also have Planet NAS-7101 with Bonjour supporting and iTunes server, so I can play music from NAS through iTunes.

And finally, I have TP-link TD-W8920G wireless router on witch I connect all 3 devices!

First of all, my NAS device is connected via Ethernet to the router, because it is not a wireless NAS device.

Then, when I connect both of my notebooks via Wi-Fi to the router, I can see shared libraries from those computers in iTunes,

but I can't see the NAS device in Shared devices!

If I connect one of my notebooks via Ethernet, and the other one via Wi-Fi, there is no Shared libraries in iTunes, but there is a NAS-7101_Music_Box in Shared folder!

And finally, if I connect both of my notebooks via Ethernet, not only I can see Shared libraries from both computers, but there is also NAS-7101_Music_Box in Shared folder!

So, is it really that ALL the devices have to be connected via Ethernet or ALL of them via Wi-Fi to the local network in order to play Shared libraries???

I wanted to use iTunes Sharing like this:

Both notebooks connected via Wi-Fi, and NAS connected via Ethernet, because what is the use of notebook if it is connected via Ethernet?:-)

Is there any possible solution to this problem???

Please help me,

I'm waiting for reply.

If they are not all connected to a common link then they can not be considered to be connected can they?

Don't get it?!:-)

If I connect my notebook to the router via Wi-Fi and another one via Wi-Fi too, and NAS via Ethernet to the same router, they are all connected and can use Internet,so they are connected right?!

But I don't know why is so important to connect all of them in the same way (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)???
