No stream button to stream play my game

I have used steam in home streaming before and have left it a while since i have felt the need to do so. I come to try it yesturday and there is no Stream button next to my games on my client pc. Nothing has changed since using it last, anyone else having this issue? how do i fix it?

In Steam settings, there is a category calle "In-Home Streaming" go there and see if streaming was somehow disabled, if that doesn't work reinstall steam on the machine you stream to.

Thank you for your quick response. Ive had it working before and checked all the settings and nothing seems wrong. Streaming is active on both systems, ive tested all bandwidth settings etc. It is almost as if the steam accounts are not seeing each other on the network so its not giving me the stream option. No hardware has changed at all either

I'm just googling random fixes, if you use LogMeIn Hamachi, it apparently interferes with the machines "discovering" each other There are some other potential issues here

That link was useful but didnt fix the problem. Checked on both systems the port settings and both correct. Even changed one pc over to wired connection instead of wireless and still no help. Turned both firewalls off. updated both steam clients and tested the beta clients too. Thank you though
