Jake Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 This is pissing me off now. Two bloody hours I've been trying to sort this out. For some reason the Xbox can't see the PC across my LAN CAT5 to Netgear DG834GT DSL router Set to be on 192.168.0.4 WinXP Pro, SP2, WMP11, also wired. Set to 192.168.0.10 All required ports forwarded (should I forward to 192.168.0.10 or 192.168.0.4 ? I've tried both but neither works) The 360 connects to Xbox Live fine but when I test the connection to the PC it fails. I've tried disabling/enabling Media Sharing in WMP11 Tried installing TVersity Turned off Zone Alarm completely Windows Firewall is off. Nothing works. I noticed that I can't ping the Xbox from the PC, should I be able to? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T11MNM Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I had to stick the xbox into a DMZ on my router, there must be certain ports that need openning for tversity but i was too lazy to find them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jarl Ayari Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 For windows XP Pro you need a media extender, Xbox 360 works way better with a PC Running Media Center Edition, or Windows Vista Home Premium/Ultimate Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
