[QUOTE="njbaker7, post: 1498704"] My wife said it started happen when I implemented port forwarding on my router for online gaming to go to a static IP. That static IP was my laptop. At the time my laptop was running DHCP and did not have a static IP and there was no MAC reservation on the router. So I gave my laptop a static IP. Since then I have removed port forwarding, and did a factory restore on the router. I had one ATV on wired, now wireless, and the other two on WIFI. My laptop is also wireless. I also added a second hard drive to my laptop, and upgraded my primary. I did move my iTunes library to that new secondary hard drive. But I have now moved my iTunes library back to the primary hard drive and kept my home movies on the secondary hard drive. I was also having issues with MacAfee randomly turning of the firewall. So I uninstalled MacAfee and went to Microsoft security essentials. I also reset all my Windows firewall settings to default. I am allowing iTunes on the private network, which is the profile for my wireless home network on the laptop. I can airplay from my laptop to any ATV just fine, but when I try to access my library from any ATV, nothing will load unless I reset iTunes on my laptop. [/QUOTE]
