Does Ethernet work just not wifi? To get iTunes library to load?
================================================
Not exactly.
General results from today's trials:
AirPlay from iPad works -- at least to start, I didn't watch more than a
couple of minutes of a show that I had purchased from iTunes.
ATV will get on internet -- whether or not my pc is even turned on -- no
trouble connecting to the router/wireless network which is connected to my
DSL -- I tried a YouTube or podcast w/ no problem.
When computer is on, running iTunes, with home sharing on, computer
authorized --
pc on wireless: ATV will try to load my library but then says it can't,
tells me to run iTunes & turn on home sharing.
pc-ATV connected by ethernet -- ATV finds the library but then when I select
a show to watch it tells me that I need to authorize the computer!
Guess I'll have to haul it all into the Apple Store since something is
whacko (&/or it just don't like me.)
Any other ideas

Meanwhile, I can't get my Apple TV to work with my computer -- it just
*will not* load my library. But it does connect to the router & get on the
internet for YouTube -- I wasn't about to try anything that Cost Money --
when I tried the iTunes Store & picked "purchased" it asked for my billing
security code; sorry, already got that show, not interested in paying again
just to see how the online streaming works. (I wonder if I can get it to
stream Amazon; I have some free-streaming-options there....)
