AppleTV Network Problems

Hi;

I have found another post (2012) with the same problem and have bumped it but as its old I thought I'd start a fresh one.

I have a Jailbroken Apple TV2 which has been working fine however just lately I have been experiencing Network Issues.

The problems:
1. The Apple TV can happily access the Internet via WiFi but it cannot access the iTunes and Photo content of my Macbook using Home Sharing. I had recently changed my Apple ID Password so I signed out of the iTunes Store on the ATV and signed back in using the new password however this did not fix the issue.

2. I cannot Ping the IP Address of the Apple TV.

3. XBMC on the Apple TV cannot add new file content from my NAS and can intermittently access existing content.

I did recently upgrade iTunes to 11.2(32) and XBMC to v12.2 Frodo.

Also my Macbook Pro has been experiencing Wifi problems, occasionally dropping the connection, to fix it I have to switch the Air Port on and off).
Not sure if this is related??

 

Solved

Sorry guys for wasting your time, looks like a simple re-boot of the Router fixed all of the issues I was having.

What would have caused the Apple TV to have an issue connecting to the Network but still be able to access the Internet??

Thanks

 

I just love the IT Crowd wish they'd make another series.

Sometimes we forget the Immediate Action Drills thinking it can't be something that simple!!! I wonder why the Internet still worked but the access to the LAN for the ATV2 did not? I need to research more!!

Thanks

And I phoned up our IT support the other day when I could no longer Log In to our Office Network, half way through logging the details I suddenly thought - better check the LAN cable, it had been renewed a week or so ago and the technician used connectors without clips so low and behold the dam LAN cable had worked its way loose!!!
