Resolved: PC to X-Box

IIIPgCIII · 10-03-2009

I have an X-box 360 a PC and a Laptop all connected to a wireless connection.

The X-box is online and works with the wireless internet.

My X-box has no problem connecting to the laptop to share media. But my PC can not. My PC recognizes the X-box on the network, but the X-box cannot access the media on the PC. I have tried everything on the X-box site, something is not right.

I have my Windows Media Player's options allowing the X-box to share media, and I have all the right exceptions on my firewall. I have even turned off the firewall to get it to work with no luck.

This is very frustrating.

Hello IIIPgCIII,is your Xbox still warranty? If so you can contact Microsoft support for this....

They would help, even though it is more of a network problem, than an X-Box problem?

Well if they will help,you could go that route....

An added note. The Vista PC can access the files on the XP laptop, but the XP Laptop cannot access the files on the vista PC.
