dunno :? 1st thing is you need a live connection and a home network. then im stuck :oops:

you need to be connected to the internet and the ethernet has to be in the 360 so therefore you have to be signed into live.

I cant do it with the way im set up so i dont bother

I'm not entirley sure but I had a look today.  There is a media centre suite you download for the pc that allows a connection to your pc.

Therefore you should be able to strem movies and music from your pc.  Well at least thats the way I understand it.

Look at the media menu on your 360.  That gives you the web address for the download.

Good luck and please post your results.

Yeah, why would you have to connect over the internet in order to stream or transfer files over a local network?

I'm pretty sure thats all you need.

well when you try to do it with the unupdated version, it tells you to go to the site and download the patch, as well as the program itself for the pc. so it doesn't make much sense for it to require live, but i haven't checked the site, so i can't really say

well i'd rather judge on experience, but i'm too lazy to try

I understood that even though it was a local network, the PC must have an internet connection. This is where Live comes in because if you have your PC connected to your 360 with the PC having to be online, the 360 will automatically go online as well.

well i'm sure whenever somebody that has the time to do this (if i actually get time, i'll do it), and figures this out, it'll be posted to answet further questions

lol, well i would perfer it to be the first option.

I'm gonna have to do it with ethernet.  I dont have wireless as I am waiting for A compatibility to come down in price.

The problem with b and g is that they get too much interference from microwaves etc. and slow things right down.  And with the amount of online play I do, I don't wanna get lag while in game...

I'll tell you something though, the wireless controllers (I assume) interfere with my television (cable), it could be the 360 I suppose but not sure.  I only know this because the 360 goes through the projector so the missus can watch tv  8)

Anyway, still not got it sorted yet, but it WILL happen and I'll post results here.  Someone else could try in the meantime though...

i downloaded the tut from microsoft website but yeah it wasn't much use.

In fact, it told me nothing I didn't already know, although it did convince me to get a A pipe wireless router 

Anyway, I still can't connect either.  Have you checked all your firewalls?  Im unsure if I got all mine to be honest.  I recently built this new pc and the motherboard came with built in nVidia firewall that I cant seem to get too.  Plus I changed from Norton to McAfee, so not entirley sure how thats all working, ontop of the windows firewall. 
Its too much I tell you.  :shock:

So I'll try again when I get a chance, (could be the switcher, need to totally power off everything, then power on again, in a specific order for the switcher to re-assign ip's)  Hope thats the case anyway, else I'm all out of ideas.

Well good luck.

right... maybe you would like to explain what's up with the picture?
