[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1290022, member: 6762"] There are specific ports the ATV uses. Many organizational networks (hotels, businesses, universities, etc) don't have those ports open and may not open them. Since the ATV [i]could[/i] be used for streaming the ATV would in effect hog bandwidth that, as you pointed out, 14,000 people share. If even 1,000 of this 14,000 did that simultaneously, the strain on the network would be quite large (the pipe is only so big, this ain't mommy and daddies house any more), therefore they don't have the ports open. Read this post and the appropriate links. You can call the schools IT dept and see what they can do, but I don't expect you are the first person to come thru with an ATV: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-tv/246402-apple-tv-cant-find-my-mac.html#post1279618[/url] [/QUOTE]
