[QUOTE="craigwortham, post: 1136991, member: 168022"] Traveling. ATV2 worked before; now it doesn't. It apparently won't "home share" or at least is "stuck" trying to do so ("Pinwheel of death" for over 8 hours). I've done the easy T/S tips from the Apple website (correct iTunes version; turned iTunes home share off and back on; rebooted both; verified firewall was "off"). Additionally, here's what I've done: 1) Removed Symantec for Mac virus protection totally from the computer; it's gone. ATV2 worked before with Symantec; but, I'm desperate. 2) Manually configured ATV's IP (which was 10.10.4.97) to match the AirPort IP (which is 10.10.4.10). Now they're both 10.10.4.10 - even after a reboot. The ONLY difference between when it worked and now: no Time Capsule; packed it up and shipped it home. This shouldn't make a difference. Somebody mentioned Mac's "remembering" firewall settings and to remove these settings using "terminal" but I couldn't follow that and forgot where I read it. Any help would be much obliged.
