I have a Mac Mini (2.0C2D, Lion, iTunes 10.4.1), an iPad 2, and an TV. The Mini is connected to my cable modem/wireless router (Cisco DPC3825) via ethernet, the TV and iPad use wireless. I'd like to use Home Sharing, but the router itself blocks the wireless devices from talking to the wired devices. For example - with wi-fi on the Mini turned off and everything connected and enabled, I cannot see my Mini from the TV. If I plug the TV directly into the router via ethernet, the Mini's share shows up. If I leave the TV on wi-fi and enable wi-fi on the Mini, it will connect to my wireless network and I can get to the Mini from the TV.
I've disabled the router's internal firewall but that still hasn't fixed it. Anything else I can try?
