Help publishing iTunes library

Ok, here's my situation. I have a brother who is stationed in Afghanistan and I would like to share my iTunes music with him. I found a really slick app that would allow me to do this via a web browser. The problem I'm having is that because my iMac sits behind a router, the application configures the web address with the generic http://192.168.0.1. What do I need to do to make this work?

I have a 2nd gen iMac with the latest version of Panther.

Thanks!

first, what kind of router is it?

youll need to forward the port for itunes (port 3698) sharing to your internal IP

i suggest using a dynamic url for your routers IP. http://dyndns.org

but ill get into this after i walk you through setting up your router. (hopefully its a linksys. their interface is nice and clean for forwarding .. although almost all routers have the forwarding feature)

Hey MacAddikt, where'd you go? :)

I was hoping you could post some instructions on how set up my router for port forwarding.

Thanks.
