Right, got my PC and 360 connected to my router, installed windows media connect (it didn't ask for the security number thing the 360 gave me) and all seems ok, but neither machine can 'see' the other :confused:

any ideas?
 
no thats not it...i've done both...nothing works. strange really, all the software seems to be okay, but they just can't connect to one another

OK... The Xbox 360 only gives you a security code for the Windows Media Center connection. So we can ignore that.

Have you granted your Xbox 360 access to your PC? When you open WMC properties have you got the word "Allowed" in green for the Xbox 360? Have you set up sharing of any folders and granted access to the Xbox 360?

yeah, which is why i'm confused...with all that i can see it should work, the 360 is allowed, i've shared my music and images with it...but it doesn't work :confused:
 
yeah, done all the easy bits like that thousands of times, i just can't see the computer...no problems getting on XBL and downloading content for the marketplace, but so far no connectivity to my PC. :(
 
i've not got the windows firewall on, just zone alarm to avoid complications.
my router (netgear, wired) shouldn't block it either. which is why i really can't figure it out - i even had a mate look at it whos got his 360 working with PC fine. :confused:
 
right, well i've finally got somewhere...i dissabled NAT on my router, rebooted, then tried to connect from my xbox. the 360 can now connect to the computer and i've re-enabled NAT...if the connection will stay after the xbox reboots too i don't know...but whilst its connected i don't want to bother trying that!
does anybody know how i can get it to work with NAT enabled if it stops working seen as though it obviously works with NAT disabled?

should i be able to connect to the 360 from the PC? if so how? cose atm i can't.
