Home sharing keeps turning off

I have a Mac Mini 2.3 ghz intel core i5, running 10.7.5 with 2 Apple TV's 2nd Gen's and I am CONSTANTLY having to turn off my home sharing, then turn it back on to get it to work. Though it says it's on, on my MAC Mini, it says I need to turn it on, on my Apple TV devices.


Is this a glitch? It didn't always used to do this.. I am thinking, maybe the past year? (could be wrong on length of time) But it's become such a major headache that I almost hate using it.

Hi timp123,


Here's an article of troubleshooting for Home Sharing that I would suggest:

I'd also recommend checking out this article on recommended settings for network devices, which may help improve network performance for your devices:
