For many who are trudging through the Internet about iTunes, iPad, AppleTV and Home Sharing of digital media over your home network: At least as far as Qwest and its Actiontec modem/router is concerned, forget it.
The Actiontec does not support Bonjour, Apple’s name for the IGMP protocol, which is required for Home Sharing on Apple devices. A firmware fix is in the works, due sometime in 2011.
I have iPhones, an iPad, an Airport Express, a MacBook and a Windows 7 and iTunes, but cannot use Home Sharing, Remote on the iPhone or multiple speakers (with the Airport Express) because none of ‘em can “see” the others due to the Actiontec.
