Hi everyone,

I am trying to connect to my 360 with media player 11 but I dont not
see it from the library tab. I am on live and have an ip from my router
(which is on the same subnet)

Nothing is listed in the share my media section. What could be the
problem?

Should I be able to ping the 360 from my PC?

BTW, I have no firewall software running on my PC.

Make sure your xbox is connected to the network and that it is turned on when
you open media sharing. It should pop up in sharing and "wha la"
gratification.

It is turned on. The Xbox has an IP but neither can find each other.
Should I be able to ping the Xbox?

I'm not clear if XBox supports Ping, it may well not be running a
standard OS supporting TCP/IP tools. It should definitely be on the
same subnet though - are the network addresses for the PC and XBox
similar to 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 ? (Often 192.168.1.1 would be
your router)

I had the same problem and I solved it by turning off the IPSEC services from
the services management console. When you stop the IPSEC services, you will
see that the xbox360 will present itself as an icon in the sharing menu in
WMP11, where you can select it and select "allow".

Of course, you will then have to make your XBOX 360 see your PC, which is
still impossible for me to do. But, I will keep trying...
