Xbox 360 Question.

[Noname]

How can i connect my 360 to my pc? I dont have windows mediacenter on my pc, just windows xp. But i want to stream movies on my 360. Anyone know how to do this?

download windows media player 11.... i finally figured out how to stream music from my comp (it wouldnt work using media connect for some reason) now my only problem is i need to know how to enable the 2nd ethernet port on my comp.

Yeah i dl wmp11. But its still not working. I used these 2 guides:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/digitalmedia/pc.htm

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/pcsetup/xpsp2.htm

So i connected my 360 to my pc using a ethernetcabel. It works my pc reckognizes my 360 and the other way around.
But when i go to wm11 to ''share media'' it doesnt show my 360 in the list (it doesn show anything). But when i run a test on my 360 it says thats its connected (i think).

Im going to post it on the official xbox forums and see what they say.

hmmm.. i dunno... it took me like 3 months to finally get it to work... i tried before using windows media connect before and the 360 didnt show up in the list either... i tried everything, read thru alot of posts on the official forums, it seems like ALOT of people are having problems with this. nothing is ever easy with microsoft.


btw, do u have live and which games do u play?

I have Windows XP SP2 and run it via Windows Media Connect...took ALOT of fucking about but it works now, all folders are shared and net connection too and all works perfect!!! i used the 360 windows media connect FAQ on xbox.com!

[Rud]

But when you went to wmp, did you see your 360 in your list of shared media?

yup! didnt appear at first, had to turn on and off the 360 a few times but once it found it its never gone away (even when i switch it off it just goes red, switch it on again and its green!
