Port 5353 : how to open it?
Bought one of the first ATV. Impossible to connect, not even through direct Ethernet. No show in iTunes under "device". IPod works fine, iTMS too (I buy a lot of music), ATV goes to iTMS fine through Wi-Fi acces. I have 2 Macs : iMac and Macbook. None sees ATV. Went through tons of posts. Nothing helped.
Finally gave ATV to a Windows friend. He switches it on ang gets it IMMEDIATELY in iTunes for WXP. No fuss, nothing, just as in the manual. We share a Wi-Fi network, the same. Same subnet. He did through DHCP. No MAC adressing.
I scanned my ports again and saw that my 5353 was not LISTENing. How to open it? Firewall is disabled, no anti-virus, no NetBarrier, nothing. Music is shared (I see it with the Macbook and the iMac sees the shared Macbook music).
So, I am lost. The 5353 thing is the last chance. But the most difficult to bear is that Windows did it with no trouble.
Thanks and sorry for such a long post.
