Re: MCE 2005 Xbox 360 Extender PC Setup Cannot find Xbox 360 on Ne

I thought you were using the F-Secure firewall and had the Windows Firewall
set to off?

Few more things to check:
- Run Service.msc and verify that the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection
Sharing service is Started (not Stopped/Disabled)
- You mentioned earlier that had you tried running with no firewall; did you
have F-Secure uninstalled at that point, or were you running with it wide
open/set to disabled?
- If you have F-Secure set to wide open and it's not working, it's possible
that it installed a Winsock layered service provider that's not behaving
correctly. From a command window, run "netsh" <enter>, "winsock" <enter>,
"show helper" <enter>, then paste the output here (in particular, I'm
curious whether there are any DLLs that belong to F-Secure...)
