how to connect Apple TV with my computer

Having the same apple account on both, the TV does not show the files from the computer.
Question: the computer is connected to the internet through WIFI, the apple TV is connected with a cable. Do I have to connect both the same way, either WIFI or cable ?!
Thank you for your help already in advance.
best regards,

Welcome to the Apple Community.

The devices can be connected by any type of network, including mixed networks such as you describe. The first thing to check would be that both devices are on the same subnetwork though. check their addresses they should have different last parts to the address but the first three parts should be the same. (ie 192.168.1.x)

Does it show up in the Devices list in iTunes on your computer?
