I've spent many hours searching the forums and the net for a solution to this problem. When streaming a movie on my ATV 2 via Home Sharing, it will play fine for about 5-10 minutes and then will return to the home menu saying something like "Cannot connect to network." Within a second or two, everything reconnects and I have to go back to restart the movie.

This was only happening randomly on one of my Apple TVs (about 1 time during a movie every now and then). Since the new updates it has been happening on all of my Apple TVs and about every 10 minutes.

I have tried restarting everything, disabling and enabling Home Sharing, and even assigning static IP addresses to the ATVs, but nothing seems to fix it... It makes it impossible to even stream anything! It does NOT happen when watching Netflix on the ATVs so it has to be a Home Sharing issue. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
