Yes only connect, I can only view images. I would like to have Windows XP MCE, but don't.
No problem, I don't mind helping. Can we just use email, this board or pm's. I really don't like IM, with work or some answers may require me to search around abit. With the other ways, I can take my time & give you better answers.
To start, I'm going to post some general tips, if anyone else is interested.
Using Ethereal to acquire TCP/IP Traffic between a computer and Xbox 360:
I have never setup Windows XP MCE before, so your going to have to read that yourself: Here's a link to help you get started.
http://www.xbox.com/...-media-mcpc.htmOne thing you should know, that dump will contain your 360 Serial Number, MAC address, etc. If you post it online, its there for anyone to view, yes even MS. Could they use that info to ban you for xbox live, maybe, I don't really know. But warning you its a chance you must understand. Also running a sniffer like ethereal on you network, if passwords or other personal data is sent across your network. It could be picked up & then if you post it online, bad things could happen.
Also I have used VM software like VMWare before, but I'm no expert with it. As long as you can get MCE working with your xbox you'll get a dump.
Ethereal is cross-plateform, so it works on Linux/BSD/Windows. I would install ethereal, onto the VM that is running MCE. I don't think ethereal will see the traffic, if you run it from your second box. Also I would temp disable UPNP on your router, it will make your results in ethereal easlier to read. Turn it back on when your done, if you wish.
First step would be make sure MCE & the 360 is correctly working. Try viewing images, just to make sure it works. Then turn off your xbox, just to make sure your kill the connection.
Start ethereal on the VM, go to Capture & options. Change interface, to your Nic card. Check the option to update packets in real time. Then hit start. Now leave it.
Now turn on your xbox, connect it to MCE. View some images/video. That will make some traffic, if you look at ethereal you'll see its collecting packets.
Turn off your xbox. Hit stop on ethereal & save the dump.
As for analyzing the dump, The top window contains the packets, inorder they were recorded. The bottom windows, is what the packets contains.
And that's about it, try it & see what happens. If you run into problems, I'll be around.
