RE: MCE 2005 Xbox 360 Extender PC Setup Cannot find Xbox 360 on Networ

I had a similar problem. However the problem was Norton Internet Security. I
resolved by granting full access to my xbox360 using the advance setup in NIS
and providing the IP address of the 360 in my router… now is working.

Hopefully NIS will have some upgrades that will address my problem. In t he
mean time that was the only way to get it to work.
