Title: Yes Another Problem With Media Center & 360
Post by: xboxnewbbie on September 23, 2006, 02:42:00 AM

Thought i would try and view pictures and music from my pc to the 360, downloaded all the software and everything worked great. Then i had the idea of putting on media center and trying it with videos etc.

Go through software install and it gets to "validating code" - it then comes back with cannot connect to xbox 360. Have gone through firewall permissions, fast user switching, roll up 2 etc but still no joy.

My media center was an upgrade conversion to my original xp with sp2 - dont know if this is causing the problem or not ?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated !

Get your Xbox 360's ip on the network settings (write it down).

Then open command (start>run>command).

Then type in ping (xbox 360 ip goes here).

You should get a reply quite quickly hopefully saying "0 packets lost" somewhere.

This shows that your computer is seeing your 360 in the first place.

Tell me if that works  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If you have McAfee Privacy Service, you have to uninstall it, then everything should work no prob
