Please bear with me on this one, I am a complete novice when it comes to wireless / networking.
I have an iMac in our basement. It is our "hub" computer. I am looking at purchasing a 12" iBook from the refurb store.
Here is what I am envisioning, please let me know if this is possible, and how I would set it up.
I want to keep all of our music on the iMac. The DSL modem is downstairs so I will also keep the Airport Extreme Base Station down there as well.
My stereo is upstairs so I also plan on getting the Airport Express with Airtunes for the upstairs to play the music on the iMac downstairs. Could be overkill, but I don't see any other way around that.
Finally, the catch in this scenario.
Can I control the music on the iMac downstairs, from the ibook upstairs using the wireless network?
Thanks for everything -
