Right then. Tad bit of background first.
Just got myself a new telly for my room, so I've finally moved my 360 up there too; primarily for games, but with a secondary aim of getting all my media streamed up there.
I used to have it wired directly into my router (as my PC still is), and I could connect to it fine - both in terms of media center and media sharing facilities. T'was great.
However, now I've moved it upstairs (connected to my wireless with http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-011-BE - I'm thinking this is the issue), I can't get my 360 to find my PC, and vice versa. Kinda frustrating.
It connects to LIVE fine, works a charm, so signal is not the issue.
I'm thinking that the gaming adaptor thing (I've had it for yonks) is fooling the 360 into thinking it's wired into the router, and effectively 'hiding' the 360 from my PC - so neither can find eachother.
So before I go trailing miles of Cat5 cable around my house, or buying one of those handily overpriced xbox wireless adaptors, any tricks up the collective sleeves of the OcUK 360 community?
Ta.
