Yes it´s on.

You can check the log.txt from Air Player, it probably says something about the connection. It is in C:/users/your username/Air Player/

Air Player is, due to security reasons, not allowed to create a socket. Can be the firewall, but also due to other Windows or 3rd party security software, hard to say.

Thanks Ralph. I find the problem. The problem was a process on 2.PC called "spnsrvnt.exe" - Sentinel Protection Server for SuperPro and UltraPro network keys.
The process runs after i started Airplayer. Then i have killed the process and it worked.

I'm frequently experiencing the same issue. I'm curious how can this be resolved.

[ef2000andy]

My problem was a software called „Sentinel“. Its a security software and it blocks the connection. I deinstalled this and switched off the firewall and now it works

Good move, generally you really do not need anything more than the built in windows firewall. Anything else is pointless in security terms.
To the other chap, check for any kind of firewall or 'security' type software that may come with an AV, or god forbid, Norton, McAfee or similar nightmares.
With win 8 and above the offerings from MS included with windows (defender) are all that 99.9% of people would ever need.
