itunes over network

[skisteven1]

does anyone know how the autodiscover stuff works for itunes?

my friend says it won't go over more than one switch (ie, two people on the same subnet but physically connected to different switches can't talk to each other), but I think it's subnet related. We dont' have enough computers to test, and I couldn't find anything with a quick google.

Anyone know how that works?

Depends on the setup. In general it dosen't seem to go past switches (which is the case on my campus and most other people)
