Help me! Unable to stream from notebook.

xypher11 · 05-08-2008, 12:38 PM

Hi guys, I want to stream music from my laptop to my xbox 360. I didnt buy the wireless adaptor for xbox 360 because it was ridiculously priced. I have an ethernet cable, and am using a Linksys WRT54GS router.

What is the best way to be able to connect to Live, and stream music from my laptop using a wired method? I tried using the ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) method but WMP11 doesnt detect my xbox360 when I tried searching for devices. I am a noob when it comes to xbox360.

Please help me out here.. Thank you in advance.

I don't have enough posts to post links yet... But I tried.

Try using Orb, (search google for Orb as i cant post links (orb dot com))

I just got my 360 today and it was one of the first things i tried. I use Orb to stream media from my PC to my Wii, but on the 360 it is 10 times better. Movies are much sharper and MP3's sound fantastic.

Im using XP SP2.. I shall try the orb method.. But it just bugs me that the WMP method doesnt work for me.
