OK, lots of details here.
My problem is that i cannot get my 360 to stream music and pics from my xp pc.
Details
Qwest dsl connected to:
netgear router wgr614v5 with firmware V1.0.9_1.0.6
{winxp mc2005 with rollup2, vista, vonage, xbox360 connected to router}

i downloaded the software at xbox.com/pcsetup and initially it would run up to the point where i put in the 8 digit code and then say it can't find the 360.
I went through all the motions of firewall, AV, AS, etc, i now have none of those installed or activated on my machine.
on the xbox, i can connect to the vista machine, but it will not see or stream anything from the XP one.

Next i downloaded a network sniffer, and found that the 360 was trying to talk via port 1900 and my pc was sending port 1900 packets to a loop-back adapter (127.x.x.x address), so i disabled uPnP as i remembered it being set to port 1900 in windows firewall.

This allowed me to get the 8 digit code verified

Now since reinstating that service, i do not get hung there on subsequent tries

But my new problem is that after it verifies the 8 digit code, the xbox will go to a black screen where it says its trying to connect, then go to a blue screen saying that it cannot connect to the pc then it repeats the black screen/blue screen process.

At this point the netsniffer shows a repeated pattern of traffic
xbox to ip0.0.0.0:3776
ip0.0.0.0:3776 to xbox
xbox to ip0.0.0.0:3776
xbox to pc
pc to xbox
pc to xbox
xbox to pc
xbox to 0.0.0.0:3774
xbox to 0.0.0.0:3774
xbox to pc
pc to xbox

that's when the blue screen comes up on the TV, and then it keeps repeating

It looks like it will make the connection, and the following will happen, but mostly it will just cycle through those steps

The xbox will show that an application or user terminated the connection on the tv, and the media center extension manager will show its connected, but if i click it it will freeze and then show it disconnected

Something else that is weird, all of my favorites in my browser and some other pc user login items were missing, almost like i was logged into the computer as MCX1 instead of an administrator...... i really  don't know what to make of that....

If someone knows what i can do to make this work, I'd be very happy, i just bought the xbox the other day and have been racking my self to come up with an answer. I even went so far as to call the 4my-xbox and they just told me to get a crossover cable from best buy....

I had the same problem. Have you checked your pc for a pop up for windows media extender or windows media player asking you to allow the 360 to connect. Go into tool, options in windows media player, go to library, click on configure sharing and you should see your xbox 360. Hit allow. I hope this helps.

I have enabled sharing in my media player, i also downloaded Zune software, but still nothing will facilitate a connection
