MANY MANY times on the forums we see posts from people having difficulty with network connection issues, for example, Air Player not being seen by the PC running Air Manager. This 'HOW TO' also applies to ANY PC / Device not seeing any other PC, 'device' or system on your network. If you are having ANY connection issues, do this FIRST.
It is almost always a 'Device Discovery' issue
In Microsoft Windows (and this ONLY applies to Microsoft Windows) -
Go to Settings,(Right click the start button and select 'settings' from the menu) then select 'Network & Internet', then 'properties' for the network in use, then ensure that the 'Private' option button is checked under 'Network Profile' (example images below).
Do this on ALL machines. If Wi-Fi is in use then it is the same procedure. There are other ways to get to these settings, this is just one example.
90% of your problems will be solved and the machines / devices will see each other as expected.
Example -
Go to 'Settings' then click here -

Then chose this option here -

Then ensure this is checked !

Do this on all machines.
Happy Air Manager and Air Player and 90% of reported 'Network Issues' are now solved.
Enjoy.

Any information would also be greatly appreciated
You need to explain more about what is happening.
Post your log file also - preferably start a new thread explaining what exactly you have tried, your setup details, and your log file.
