Sethos Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hey Guys, Wanted to connect my Xbox 360 to my PC, it told me to visit "www.xbox.com/pcsetup", i clicked Service Pack 2 and it lead to me http://www.xbox.com/en-US/pcsetup/xpsp2.htm. Here it told me to Install ZUNE software ( What the ****? ) When i downloaded it, it tells me my OS is in the 'wrong' language and the setup aborts. A few months ago you just had to download a simple program, what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurd Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 If your using XP SP2 just use WMP11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) I tried - WMP11 Can't find my Xbox apparently. Step 2: Turn on media sharing. * Click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click Media Sharing. * In the Media Sharing dialog box, select the Share my media to check box. * In the list of devices below the Share my media to check box, select your Xbox 360. * click Allow * click OK My Xbox360 doesen't show up, connected to the same network and all. That's why i decided to use the onscreen guide. Edited November 25, 2006 by MichaelBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Live Veteran Posted November 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2006 You say WMP11 can't see it... I'm assuming the 360 is turned on? Do you have any firewall software that could be blocking WMC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 the good thing about the zune software over wmp11 is that it will play all off your AAC tracks from iTunes [except purchased ones obviously] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argi Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 When I try download it sends me this file: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8...oxXPSP2-ENU.exe Edit: When run it talks about the Windows Media Connect software so that should be what you need?

Avalanche Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I tried - WMP11 Can't find my Xbox apparently. This is a big problem, just check out xbox forums and you will see how many posts there are for that matter, from what i've collected: 1. Go to the options of both ethernet controller, go to the authentification and uncheck the IEEE802.1 -> that fixed for me. 2. If you still have problems check out this thread -> seems to work for most people Hope it will help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 You say WMP11 can't see it... I'm assuming the 360 is turned on? Do you have any firewall software that could be blocking WMC? To add to that theres a few ports you are supposed to open is there not? Look here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910635 If you have a router make sure that is configured too.

Brandon Live Veteran Posted November 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2006 You shouldn't need to change anything on your router assuming both your 360 and your PC are both connected to it. But a software firewall on the PC could get in the way (the built-in Windows one and any others that sync their rules with it should automatically be set up to allow WMC through.

sharpy2k4 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 bascially, i had this problem, i deleted the computer profile off my 360, turned off my firewall on my computer and then remade the computer profile on the 360 and it connected and WMP11 could see it, i then re-enabled the firewall and it still works!
