Wahooo. Same problem on this end. It kept telling me that I had Norton
Firewall installed and that I needed to open ports. FWW, I do NOT have
Norton Firewall installed. I finally got everything to work by using the
old Code. The wizard still failed (said it couldn't connect), but when I
shutdown everything and then restarted, the Xbox was talking to the Media
Center PC again. I really don't like where I'm at on this - the failed
wizard, but everything "seems" to be working.

Tye.
