I installed Windows Media Player 11, everything went fine. I had my Xbox on and Windows Media Player found my Xbox, I allowed it. My xbox however CAN NOT find my Computer.

It tells me "here is your setup code ...." Continue "go to xbox.com/pcsetup".

I am at that screen waiting to press continue and it WILL NOT FIND MY COMPUTER.

I then Installed Zune, again, will not find my computer.

Ive been on Xbox.com and all it said was "Windows XP SP2. Windows Media Center 2005, Windows Media Center 2005 Update 2, and Windows Vista".

I do not understand this? My computer via Windows Media Player and ZUNE finds my Xbox and has been allowed to share, but my Xbox will not find my computer at all. Ive tested the connection to my Computer, No go.

However its been on live, and it works perfectly fine.

I have also found that if I have my xbox on and then turn my PC on, the xbox will not always see my drive. What I always do is turn my PC on 1st. When it is completely started I then turn on my xbox and it works everytime.

The only other problem I have had is related to UPnP (what Rix is talking about) I actually have to use the logon screen or all of my tray icons do not load up, but also it buggered connecting to the xbox. Maybe unrelated to you but just thought I would point that out. BTW...using XP SP3 and WMP11

Njjouch: I have tried just going to Music / Video / etc and IT WONT FIND MY Computer. I dont know why!?!

This is your problem:

Rix, SSDP? I dont think i have that service installed but I remember reading about it.

SSDP is needed, you should have it installed unless you removed upnp somehow (i had this problem when i removed it with nlite)

You should have it though it comes with windows xp, it's called Simple Service Discovery Protocol

The whole process is very fidgity though, i find it works better with vista. My laptop gets detected imediatly.

SSDP was install and started. It was my fault really. Althou this process is easy with vista(same as you Rix my laptop got picked up and etc) but the same problem presisted.

It was becuase my DAMN FIREWALL. I have it set to give the "home network" internet acess and not TRUSTED. So forever my network has not been working becuase of 1 setting. I thought i fixed it before.

Dumb me.

But its working now and thanks guys XD.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
