iTunes won't detect shared libraries.

I recently moved to a new cubicle down the hall at work and the three
of us in my row have discovered that we can no longer see each other's
shared libraries.  My IP's haven't changed and other people across
from us can still see and share each other's libraries.  We all have
sharing and discovery selected in our iTunes preferences.  We're on
the same subnet as everyone else.  Any ideas?

Desktop
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.196.131.XXX
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.254.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.196.130.1

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.254.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.196.130.1

Thanks in advance for your help!

The subset that can't share are subject to a firewall that doesn't allow
iTunes' sharing traffic to pass.

I'm having a similar problem with my two computers at home. I've a
macbook and a windows desktop which holds my whole music library, and
my macbook can't discover my desktop shared library unless the iTunes
on my macbook is started before the iTunes on my desktop.

Anyone has an idea for it? They are on the same subnet, connected
through my home wifi, there is no firewall on my windows desktop,
iTunes on my macbook has enabled the option for discovering shared
libraries, iTunes on my desktop is sharing it's whole library, and I
can ping from either of my computers to the other.

Thank you in advance.

Your problem isn't similar.

The way iTunes is designed, both machines must be running iTunes before
they can see each other.

It's similar in the way that a shared library is not visibe to the
other computer

I start iTunes on the windows desktop and then run iTunes on the mac
and the shared library from the desktop is not visible, and I can wait
as long as I want that it wont appear in my mac.

Instead, if I run first iTunes on my mac and then iTunes on the
windows desktop, the shared library from my desktop appears in my mac.

So, I guess this is not quite a normal behavior, as I'd expect that at
some point in time the mac would notice of the shared library from the
desktop if it were the first scenario.
