Youve downloaded the software for the PC?.

Heres how its done:-

View Video from a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista

When you connect your Xbox 360 console to a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you'll see all available video content listed on the Video screen in the Media area of the Xbox Dashboard.

To view video content from a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista

1. Visit www.xbox.com/pcsetup to download and install the appropriate software for your PC. For more info about setting up your connection, see Share Media from a PC with Xbox 360.
2. After you've installed the software, make sure your Xbox 360 console is connected to your PC using one of the following:
* A standard Ethernet cable (sold separately for the Xbox 360 Arcade System).
* The Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter.


If your console already shares a router with your PC for Xbox LIVE access, your PC is effectively already connected your console. Please be aware, however, that wireless streaming between your PC and your console requires an 802.11a network connection, which is faster than the 802.11b and 802.11g standards.

To learn about home networking, see Home Networking Basics.
3. Turn on your Xbox 360 console and go to the Media area of the Xbox Dashboard.
4. Select Video. If your PC is not selected, press X and select it.
5. Select the file you want to view.
 
This is why I find a PC (SFF preferably) plugged in to the TV to be a far better solution. The PC plays every damn media format known to man yet my 360 (also connected to the TV) plays about 1 in 3 Divx movies and none of the other format encoded ones.

As a Media Centre the 360 blows.
 
My 360 plays everything fine :D

No complaints from any DivX file I try and play, must be something you are doing wrong :p

I just share everything through WMP11 and then download the codec pack on the 360 from the market place and voila! instant playback :D

True, i've got some DVD rips that play at 1/5th speed which makes things a bit boring. And the joy of WMP network share service maxing your CPU is fun too.

But my sound and USB have recently packed up on my shuttle so i'm stuck having to play everything (that works) through the 360 :(
 
best thing to do mate is first burn a divx file onto a disc ut it in 360 and it will offer the update u my need to do it twice

connect 360 and pc

then on 360 goto videos you will get asked where from tell it from your comp


then goto your pc open up wmp11 then in the sharing make sure the 360 there is set to allow

then it should play


also make sure youre divx files are newish ones i had same prob with some older ones that where divx low motion and the 360 would not play them
