Home Sharing Error Code 11556

I have successfully enabled Home Sharing on my iMac and MacBook Pro, however I have also tried to enable it on my Daughters iMac in her room, and I get an error message of 11556 - it states "Home Sharing could not be activated because an error occurred (11556)".

All computers are running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and are on the same wireless network.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I normally run Parental Controls on my Daughters iMac, however I have got the same error irrespective of if Parental Controls are enabled or not.

MacBook Pro 2.53Ghz & iMac 2.8Ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

I had the same problem but couldn't find out anything about the specific error on the interweb. Try removing iTunes completely from your Daughter's iMac, restarting the machine, and then reinstalling iTunes again - this is what I did, and it worked for me.

Problem Solved.

I hadn't authorised my Daughters iMac with my apple account, hence the error message. I authoirised the iMac and everything works well.
