Xbox 360 PC Setup

[ppcock]

Wanting to setup my pc in combination with the 360, it's all good no hacking here.

I download WMP 11, god was it stupid to get the validation tool bypassed
opened all the required ports on my firewall.
started the media sharing, but my xbox 360 doesnt show up.
I have a feeling WMP isnt even scanning for media.
tried the help files, tried xbox.com, still can't getting anything

They're both working over the same network.

Any suggestions?

i got mine set up pretty easily. do a search for the steps to set it up, i remember it being pretty straight forward. you're probably missing some network configuration step

hmmm, i went to xbox.com/pcsetup
did all the steps.

in WMP did you have to scan for avail devices?

i dont remember... i think it was already there

make sure in your network configuration in windows you have client for microsoft network installed

oooo good point, but it's in there by default.

I'll look into it a bit more.. shitty that ms support isnt open when im off work.

tversity was pro until they added divx support

i remember when i first set up streaming it was a pain in the ass. if i could remember what i had to do i would help you out.

This might sound insane but make sure that you don't have any firewall shit running on your PC and then completely reset your router/switch that has both your 360 and your PC connected to it. Also check in (start->run->services.msc) that the sharing service is running.
