Cant Get It Working :(
« on: March 19, 2008, 01:59:00 PM »

i have just got my 360 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and i want it for streaming media from my pc to the xbox, i dont have a router just a modem and 2 NIC cards. so i connect to the net though 1 NIC and i want to use the other for the 360, my vista system finds the 360 and i load media center to config it, ive entered the 8 digit setup key and media center does some stuff but fails at the configuring extender settings part i have the 360's network setting set to automatic so i guess that setting it to auto is wrong so wat should it be set to? and wat should my second NIC be set to??  i have no idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) i cant even get live to work at the 360 says theres a prob with my network, ive looked around this forum but i dont see an answer to my question

Try setting the 360's IP to static. I can never get my 360 to work on my network with dhcp.
Also test the xbox live connection within the settings and see what is failing.

i beleive it does it every time you go to select a new song (one not from the playlist) so that it can refresh the list, or either once per boot
