Im using an ethernet cable and apple tv picks up my pc but not my internet?
Apple TV
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is this the first time you've used the Apple TV, have you tried restarting your router.
yes i have.
When you say internet, what exactly do you mean.
the message that comes up on apple tv tells me
it detects my netork but not my internet.and directs
me to go to the configure the network again,i do that
using the auto function on the ethernet config.
it shows my an IP address
subnet mask
router and dns are blank
and shows an ethernet address.
thanks for your patience im new to this.
What are the first 3 numbers in your IP address.
I think im starting to understand.
I should have metioned to you at first im using a usb to ethernet adapter'that goes directly to
my apple tv,and it assingned a different IP i just checked it out.
My pc IP starts with 24. the ethernet adapter is the problem
Are you saying to have a converter plugged into the USD port on ATV? That will not work. You can connection an ethernet cord to the either net port or use a WiFi connection.
I gave up on the ethernet and got a router
ATV sees my wifi but when i put in my password
it says its wrong ? but its not.
Im in bussiness i got it all worked out
even with getting a router i still had to use the ethernet cable.
Thanks for the info i appreciate it.
