Hi Eric, If I'm understanding you correctly, then the short answer is No. Home Sharing gives you the ability to share libraries within your subnet. That is, if you have multiple computers, you can access each computer's library from the other as well as copy items between them. It can automatically add new purchases to each library as well.
It is possible also to, for example, maintain one library on one computer, then simply access that same library from the other without actually needing to place any media files on the second computer. In this case though, you should always use the first computer as the computer that you would purchase media on so that you can maintain which library is complete. There are ways around this within the Settings but it would be more reliable doing this as I mentioned. The Home Sharing is not only limited to two computers and although I don't have a PC in my network, I'm sure that as long as you're using the same iTunes account, Home Sharing is available between all the machines. I believe the limit is five machines within one Home Sharing group. So, I believe that you would still get the message about connecting your iPod to more than one Library as this is more an iPod thing than a Home Sharing thing. HTH. Later...
