so i use to be able to do home sharing with my little brother, but for some reason now they wont connect. i go up to the top on both computers and click "turn on home sharing" and now it doesn't connect but it turns on i believe does anyone know how to fix this?

Check network settings and credit card

Two things that come to my mind:

1. Can the two computers reach each other through other protocols? Try to connect to your brothers' computer from the Finder using Cmd+K or browse the Network Neighborhood for his machine if you're on Windows. If you can find anything, then the network should be ok.

2. None of you recently deactivated the credit card you use for iTunes or even changed it to a new one, right? The same credit card name and number has to be activated on both computers.
