Hello,

Everytime I power on my xbox 360 and try to watch a divx movie stored on my pc, I get this error on my pc and the xbox does not see my pc on the network:

Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

(FYI: my current setup is PC and Xbox360 both connected to Linksys WRT54G router...which is connected to cable modem.)

I then have to close the error screen and run back upstairs to watch my movie. however, if I decide to watch another movie, the same error happens again. I checked my firewall settings and ports...all is good.

Any thoughts as to why this is occuring...

thanks,
jordy
