I use Windows Media Player 11 as media connect is built in, you just add your 360 to the shared list and it works fine, no problemsvitriolboy

Tried that. didnt work for me. as said my PC (mediaplayer, windows media connect) has my 360 on the shared list but my 360 cant find my pc

What does it say when you test network settings? Go to the system blade, network settings and test network connection. Is it through a router or ICS?

when I test my connection with xboxlive everything works. when I test my Pc connection he says ''cant find any windows based PC's''. It should be on the same network though.

check the ip addresses are all consistent so they all belong to the same network vitriolboy

lol I tried what you said. Now I cant even connect to XBL.

yeah well Ill reboot everything and see if I can connect to XBL again. when yes I never touch the settings again lol>

Stupid question, buthave you alreadydownloaded the file from xbox.com? After that make sure you have windows media center open on your PC and your PC is on. If none of that works I would go back to xbox.com and try the installation process again.

Is your computer older? If its a slower computer then it may not work.

what file do you mean? you mean the media conect download? or the 06update? Ive updated my console and tried both media connect and mediaplayer11 (which has media sharing included). nothing works. my PC isnt that old about a year I think. not the fastest PC but it should work I guess

I'm having the exact same problem.

I'm trying to connect windows media player 11 to the xbox. All the ports that need to be opened are opened. My computer can see my xbox fine and I enabled media sharing in WMP. When I go turn on the xbox the xbox cannot connect to my PC.

The xbox is on the same subnet as my computer. UPnP and WMP connect and all that jazz are enabled. Downloaded the .net Framework. Windows firewall, Norton, and Zone Alarm are all disabled and it still will not work.

I called Xbox technical support twice and both times I talked to supervisors. Both of them hung up on me.

I have no idea what to do.

I had this issue when I was using ZoneAlarm Firewall, I added the IP range of my wireless router to the trusted zone and it worked straight away.

It's most likely a firewall issue because the 360 is being blocked access to the PC but not vice versa.
