Use The Internet On 360
« Reply #1 on: July 20, 2006, 01:08:00 PM »
Anthony Park has invented software that will allow you to browse the internet with the Media Center Edition remote. While not directly made for surfing on the Xbox360, we have put together just how to use it to do so. You can go to the more programs tab on your Xbox360 and run the program, then use the remote to surf the internet on your Xbox360. (Thanks, 9).

Click on the news title for the images of the 360 browsing MSN and GR, as well as a full Step by Step guide.

STEP BY STEP

NOTE: You NEED WindowsXP Media Center Edition, it will not work with Windows 2000 or any other form of Windows XP

1) Go to http://www.anpark.com/software.aspx
2) Click on "Download Now (591 Kb)"
3) Double click on MCEBrowserSetup.msi and just click next
4) Start your Xbox360 and go into Media Center
5) Go into "More Programs" and choose the "Browser" Entry.
6) Add Favorites to your 360 from your PC, by going into:

C:, then "Documents and Settings" folder, then the "MCX#" folder

(# is a number, it depends on how many times you did manually
reconnect the 360 to the PC , so it changes for everyone....
The highest number is the latest, so choose that folder)

Go into the Subfolder called "Favorites" and either add links
by drag'n'drop from Internet Explorers Address Bar to it, or
right click and choose "Create Shortcut", enter the URL, click
next, and now Enter the Name of the Website (This will be how it
appears on the 360)

7) Choose One of your "Favorites" on the 360 and enjoy!

1. Your sig has too many pictures, which some are hotlinking from llamma.com
2. You triple posted.
3. I'm pretty sure this is old news and not worth re-posting.

I have a Dell Laptop(W/ MCE) and have installed the program. Seems that it will work but I have no remore nor do I see any option to input a local address such as "C:/"?

I do have a wireless keyboard and wireles controller for the 360 and none of the input devices work in the browser. Any updates for this pending you think? Or is there an aftermarket remote maybe that I can purchase?
