I got my Windows Media Player to detect my 360 now, but still my Xbox can't find my PC. When I do the test, it still fails at 'PC Selected'.

sounds like a firewall issue, you may need to change the xbox IP address to trusted. if you have norton this is very easy to do.

i had the same problems with media player now i use tversity and never had a problem since

jesus saves sinners....and redeems them for cash and free holidays

hello,ive recently been trying to get proper use out of the media sharing through windows media player to the xbox 360. windows media player picks up the xbox, but the xbox wont pick up the pc. ive tried opening the correct ports and all sorts but to no success. i thought it must be a software thing somewhere. but when i try the same laptop and xbox on my friends bt home hub (which is also what i also use at home) it works perfectly. now im sure this cant be a port thing as he assures me hes never changed any of the home hub settings since he got it.
the only difference i can think of is that he has few network devices plugged in, where as mine at home has many, but cud this affect it?

Funny thing is you don't need to open ports for PC connenctivity.  I don't have anything forwarded and I'm able to connect to my PC without any problems.  The fix for me was, enabling multicast, and deleting the drm folder, and not it works flawlessly.  I currently have two ports open so I can have an open NAT.  If I don't open any ports, i'm at moderate.

i rolled back wmp11 to a previous version and installed wmc ...... bingo, straight up, all my music and divx now stream without any problems at all.

i just want to say thank you 100000000 times . i have been stressing with this problem for about 6 months now, and i did what u said and now i can connect to my computer, thank you again, but i just wanted to know if those files i deleted are important and will *** up my computer in any way?

THANKS MAN!!!!!!! this should be a sticky, i tried everything prior to this and it now works, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you know with all the questions and guesses of how to fix it and all the endless amounts of forums all over the internet all of them base around one question "how can i get my 360 and pc to play nicely" you would think microsoft would have a press conference for all 360 owners and just give out a cd with a automatic program that so long as the 360 is connected to the pc the program would do the rest but i guess thats just to much to ask from the company that made two devices that just hate each other so much and love to **** there owners off with it   just a thought

how do u get to my computer?

This worked like a charm for me!  Thanks a mint!

This worked great...thanks a bunch!

This seriously needs to be bumped! Is that against the rules?

After much frustration, I got mine working. Here's what I did:

-Deleted the contents of my DRM folder

-Still nothing, so did other stuff. First thing I did was restart WMP Network Sharing Service

-Redo Network Setup Wizard

-Still nothing, so then I restarted HTTP SSL service, and then WMP NSS again

For some reason, after I restarted my xbox (I restarted those services with the XBOX off) it worked. I went to music, left it for about 3 seconds and my pc came up, letting me stream music.

Very stranger.

I am using a direct ethernet connection to my pc with ICS, FYI.

Thank you so much Deriggs007

Awsome.  Finally got it working. Thanks heaps

I tried almost everything in this thread and still nothing. Could it be something with my router?

much needed bump and my problem.  I connected to my pc and got it working for a while (about an hour). I was trying to up load some moves to the xbox when the connection was disconnected. Then I reset my xbox router visibility and connected back on live. I then tryed to connect my pc and x box and nothing showed up. Im using vista my xbox is showing up on my pc but my xbox wont connect any help please.   Thanks in advance.

Thanks for bumping this. Hopefully Op is still here to help. This is my problem. After I followed all your steps, when it comes time to  go to services.msc and start the windows media sharing, it fails and gives me error # 1068, "The dependency service or group failed to start"

Any clues?

Excellent. Thanks a lot! This fixed it for me.

I did not have a DRM folder under C: but I did under Docs&settings/All users.

Thanks again!!!
:-)

I'm still not able to do this. I know my problem relies somewhere else. I need to find out why my sharing service fails to start. Any help is appreciated.

I've tried installing Zune, and I can't even install it because M$ decided in order to install Zune you must have some kind of update, that would enable you auto update.. Seriously? WTF?

Now, regarding Tversity, it's a pain in the neck. I installed it, and it had the most retarded installation ever. After the whole install this, and install that, and all that other crap you don't need from the Tversity dev's, my 360 actually found my pc, only to not find any of my videos. Which I guess have to be transfered to an obscure Tversity folder. So, I haven't been able to actuall stream with it, but I bet it's going to be another buffering crap, that will still lag your videos after buffering.. I miss my old streaming day.. Damn you SP3!

Im still having problems I ve tried sharing through the media player and setting it as trusted in my norton. The fire wall is down and cant get it figured out. I had it working at one time and got disconnected and it shows up on my pc but wont connect. My x box setup comes up when I enter the media center like I have never set it up before. When i go to try to set it up agin it says the extender is not found. Ive been on youtube afterdawn and a bunch of other places and cant get it work I realy need some help thanks.
