Xbox Media sharing HELP!
Ok, so ive had this problem EVER SINCE I GOT MY XBOX which was bout 2 years ago.
Ive NEVER been able get a connection between my computer and my xbox.
I use Ethernet connection and the ethernet goes from the xbox to the router and my computer goes from ethernet to my router....
I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 (the black one)
I have my Xbox's IP, Subnet, gateway, DNS ectt..... and i have my computers one ect...
I jsut want to know how the **** to get them all together and let them share... im guessing i just need to add them into my router somehow because it seems like thats the problem atm.
I have Windows XP
I have Windows Media Player 11
I have everything connected and all of them are turned on.
I can get on the internet fine with both of them.
Help would be GREATLY appreciated.

You need to follow the Media Centre guide on the Xbox, it'll give you a code to enter on media player to set it up for sharing. Then when you wanna watch something off of your computer just go to videos then select a device (your computer) then browse through it.
-
Yeah that media center guide is crap, tried it many times, doesnt help at all lol.
-
I remember doing it slightly differently with a piece of software, but I cant remember if that was on the PC or Mac.
Have you tried following this guide: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/pcsetup/xpsp2.htm

Never worked for me on XP either.
But when i got a new PC with vista on it, It keeps popping up when i turn on my xbox lol.
-
I don't think it's even XP compatable, you know Microsoft they want you to buy their OS in order for you to use it probably.
-
I certainly remember doing it on Windows XP but it was a fair bit back, i.e. when I first got my 360. I seem to remember using a piece of software, rather than doing it through Media Player itself.
-
I have it working with XP, i didnt follow the guide i went to windows media player then clicked media sharing and allowed xbox 360. if you google enuf theres some good guides

It never worked for me on XP but on Vista it worked fine. It found it straight away.
