Hello
I'm having some trouble connecting my Xbox to my computer for media sharing purposes.
I've tried everything I can think of (opening all the required ports, WMP11, Zune)
WMP11 and Zune do detect my 360 when I enable media sharing. It is just when I try to detect my computer from my 360 that I run in to problems.
I'm using the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter and I am able to connect to Xbox Live using it.
I'm not exactly sure what the problem could be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i am having the same problems with my 360 and connecting it to my computer, only i am using a wired connection but still no luck, i have had my 360 connected before but now it wont. when i can come across a solution i will let you know, i may have to contact xbox service.

ok here is the SOLUTION!!! after hours and hours of hacking..

Start / Run... type: services.msc then OK

Check this 3 services (it's A MUST if you want to detect your device - PS3).

SSDP Discovery Service <<<<< Start this one first Make and make it Automatic (right click properties).already enabled, switched to automatic
Universal Plug and Play Device Host << then this one same as one above already enabled, switched to automatic
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service <<< then this one... will not stay started, it starts and then it says it had to stop. switched to automatic

if you get any errors like 1068 -79.. etc simple google errors and you will find easy solution.

i got error 1068 that means you need to have SSDP Discovery Service running before starting Universal Plug and Play Device Host

after that use that simple 5/6 step procedure and R'n'R thats it!!!


ps. I found the answer at the following PS3 forum:

Hah this is brilliant finally got mine to work using this method thank you loads!!!!!

I also have the same problems described by the first couple posts, however I was unable to fix the problem with the helpful post above...

"Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" does not show under my list of services for some reason and I do not know why. I have used my xbox 360 to watch dozens of movies I have ripped on my laptop, mostly because it is much easier to access that way rather than constantly changing the disk when I would rather leave a video game in the disk tray...

If anyone could tell me why I am have this problem please reply!
