OSX 10.6.6
ATV2 running 4.2.1
This seems like it should be a simple problem, but after (what seems like) endless hours of searching google and this forum i am still stuck. I am trying to add video sources via the windows network SMB but i keep getting an error message that says share not available. When i use the zeroconf Browser i have no problem finding my MacBook Pro (SAMBA) and setting it up that way, but any time i disconnect my laptop i get a new local IP and therefore lose the video source. Which makes me think that i have atleast most of the correct settings on my macbook.
My sister had her ipod connected to the same wireless network and if i tried to browse for SMB networks then her Ipod would show up, but the files contained within were all the shared files located on my macbook pro. I feel like this has something to do with the solution, but I cant figure out what
Help would be greatly appreciated, let me know if you need anymore information
