I <3 my 360

Just been fiddling and found out how to connect my 360 to my PC over the network 4tw. Now have access to music and pictures from my PC hard-drive

(not had it long .. scince saturday).

It's probably not such a big thing but im chuffed i can listen to all the music on my PC sitting from my couch or show pics without having to huddle round the PC desk

or both at once ^^

Also, who has PGR3 or FNR3?

Get Vista or MCE 2005 installed and your computer and you'll be able to stream videos as well :-)

Does it work through a router or does it have to be a direct link.

PiKe · 29 Sep 2006 at 22:11

Works fine through a router.

Wow so your saying I can get music from my pc without having media center windows?

So I have xp Sp2 how do I do this?

Download Windows Media Connect 2 for your PC.

On the 360 go to Media and then music and then computer and it should show you all the computers on the network.

Thanks guys

dannyjo22 · 30 Sep 2006 at 11:12

Right both my 360 and PC are hardwired into my router. I installed the program and have it running, turned on my 360 and did the steps you said but it doesnt come up in the devices and the pc doesnt show up on the 360 network.

Any more clues?
