iTunes 11 Home Sharing not working

I cannot get the home sharing feature to work for iTunes 11. I have 2 pc's & I've done all the trouble shooting but it still won't work. Anyone else having this same problem?!?!

Windows 7

I'm having the same issue.

Just upgraded to OSX Lion. Did not have issue until then.

TV just keeps asking for homeshare to be turned on in ITunes then I turn it off and on and off and on and TV will not acknowledge it. Wifi works fine and I can stream netflix and Movies etc. but no computer for music or photos.

Have you resolved it yet?

Funny thing is that I had Itunes 11 before I switched to OSX Lion and it worked fine. So it seems to be an issue with the combination of both, not just one or the other. Before I was using OSX 6.8

I am connected to Internet with ethernet then using computer's airport to share on network. ATV connected to wifi (formerly "Airport"?) Not using wifi to connect to internet on computer. I keep wondering if I need to change some setting.

After several hours of dealing with this issue I finally got Home Sharing to work. I was able to use Home Sharing from my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV 3 with no issue but could not get it to work from my Windows 7 x64 pc. After uninstalling iTunes, Bonjour and all other apple components (except Safari), I restarted my pc and re-installed iTunes 11. I was then able to turn on Home Sharing and it appeared immediately on my Apple TV. I hope this helps. There were no side effects of this procedure.
