Try turning off your firewall or at least lower the level of it.

Make sure media sharing is turned on in media player.

Added windows media player to firewall rule and my laptop now shows up on the 360 but not my desktop

I believe the 360 only links up with XP Media Center Edition and Vista. I don't think it will work on XP Home or Professional.

It works with XP there is a setup tool on the xbox site that will setup the pc for ya. I found that I had to uninstall my firewall altogether as when i turned it off it still was blocking it.
