screaming at streaming

Diceicle

Hi,

I'm pretty new to all this networking pc and console thing but the problem I'm having is getting my 360 and pc to communicate with each other. As with most people I wanna stream video straight from my pc to the tv via the 360. I have a netgear prosafe 5 port switch with my 360 and broadband running through that. I'm using Zonealarm pro as a firewall and have downloaded windows media player 11 and also tried Zune. I've tried opening ports and every other idea I can find but to no avail. Basically when I try and install media connect from www.xbox.com/pcsetup as my 360 tells me it all goes well until it tries to authorize the xbox then I just get an error and more frustrated. Any ideas? All helpful suggestions appreciated.

i had alot of trouble getting the 360 to see my pc at first and it was down to norton firewall on my pc , once the 360 could see my pc i opened up wmp 11 and clicked on library then media sharing and ticked the box " share media to " and then i selected the 360 and clicked " allow access " .

i was then able to see my pic's , vid's etc... that where in the my pic's and my vid folders on the pc.

hope that helps a bit , sorry i can't be more specific as it was a few months since i did it.

Yea same prob here.


Did what is suggested in last post but didn't help.


Maybe it's the Vista beta I'm using?


Anyhow hope the OP has more luck.

Have you tried using TVeristy? I got it running successfully with Vista full and my xbox360.

You need to disable WMedia Centre from sharing first. A good walkthough is available at http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1002/1

Thanks for the info. Anyone know where I might find a Tversity user guide?
