I just bought an Apple TV. I exchanged it thinking there was a problem with the original one I purchased but this problem is still happening.
I am using Cisco Aironet 1231G access point running in G only. There is NO security on the SSID. I have 8 other devices associated with the AP that include a printer, a couple of servers, my mac book pro and a few other laptops. These systems all work fine! I am getting excellent transfer rates over the wireless for the existing devices.
Now for the problem. I am running iTunes on both my MacBook pro and a Windows workstation. When I first installed the Apple TV (both times) I get through the initial setup. I have to assign a static IP as I do not use DHCP. Once I set the IP, I can download movie trailers but I cannot associate with either iTunes computer. If I do a power reset, the Apple TV can then peer with the either iTunes computer. This peering will remain for a few hours but will eventually stop working until I reboot the Apple TV again.
I have not done a packet capture yet but that is my next step. I just wanted to drop a note here to see if anyone else has seen this or can think of anything else I can try to get this peering to be a little more persistent.
TIA
PS - I have not tried a wired connection yet. I will be testing to see if the peering persists over a wired connection versus wireless...
