then restart your computer then go back to the site at the top and you

I found a solution to this problem that worked for -me-, at least, after
having tried (and failed) most of the suggestions in this (and other)
threads.

(I'm running Windows XP Pro)

I have the -'COMODO Firewall Pro'
(http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/)- (a free firewall, the last of
many I've tried and the only firewall that has worked most painlessly
for me), and when I disabled it, the xbox 360 could suddently find my
computer running Windows Media Player 11. As I activated the firewall
again, it could not be found. So, I went looking in the activity logs of
the firewall, and noticed that the system process "*svchost.exe*" ('here
is a link' (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314056) to microsoft's
technical mumbo-jumbo definition of the file) had gotten incoming
connection attempts from an IP in my local network, but the firewall had
blocked those attempts.

Simply allowing *svchost.exe *temporary full access to the network,
without disabling the firewall otherwise, made my xbox happy again. So,
for me, except for of course allowing the WMP-server software from
accessing the net, it was solved by letting *svchost.exe *access to the
network.

Exactly -how -you tell your firewall to allow a certain application
access to the network is up to you and your friend google, I'm afraid -
I'm no expert and every firewall works a little differently, I guess.

(This file is located in your *WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 *directory in Win XP,
and it is apparently an application that can be used by various DLLs.)

I did, however, create a rule that *svchost.exe *should only allow
incoming connections from my local network, just in case and to avoid
being attacked by nasty outsiders, so to speak.

I can't guarantee it will work for you, of course, but *I wish you all
best of luck*! I would myself have used 'TVersity'
(http://tversity.com/) instead (it's fast and nice) but my mate is
running a server on his computer and it seems the xbox can only handle
one such server on a single network. That's why I needed WMP11 to work
really bad. I have tried 'Orb' (http://www.orb.com/) (aka 'Winamp
Remote' (https://winamp.orb.com/orb/html/login.html), I don't really
understand why they have different sites when they seem to be the same
application more or less) but it had such nasty buffering times.

-Again - best of luck, kisses n' hugs,
Karma-
