Just trying to get this setup using wmp 11.

I tried to connect to my desktop, now how do I change this to my laptop? Can't find any settings for choosng another pc or removing the old one?

I am running xp sp2 and I installed wmp11, it sees my 360 and i allowed sharing, but my 360 does not see my pc. I don't have a 3rd party firewall.
I also tried windows media connect, it can also see my 360 but my 360 still cant see my pc.

Please Help thanks

Can you get on live?

Does the network tests all come back Ok?

[darkkingphoenix]

I can connect to live
The test results show failure on PC Connect

Have you disabled the Windows firewall, and what AV software do you use.

Some block ports anyway.

[darkkingphoenix]

I tried disabling the firewall, that didn't work.
I use AVG.
I'm going to try disabling both.

[benniemc]

Yeah, disable the Windows Firewall in the Control panel.

[darkkingphoenix]

Disabled both AV and firewall still failed the PC selection test

[benniemc]

Ok.

How is the PC and Xbox connected together?

Wired, wireless, to a switch, or router? Do you have DHCP so all the devices get an automatic IP address?
