I've got a wireless network that uses a wired backbone and several airport expresses to cover a large area (the APEs are also plugged into ceiling speakers so I can use them with airtunes).
In one room that does not get coverage from this network I have a mac mini working as a media centre plugged into the wired backbone- I've been using internet sharing to let laptops in this room get online.
The problem is, even though the security settings and the SSID are all the same for the mac mini's sharing, it's treated as a separate network to the rest of the house: moving between the two is not smooth at all, often requiring that a computer's wireless be turned off and on again. Also, computers connected through the mac mini can't see the airtunes speakers.
Any ideas?
