Re: MCE doesn't find my Xbox 360



You should use the stock Linksys firmware; however, if you absolutely have
to have the functionality found in 3rd party firmware revs, you should try
the tofu firmware... I've been using this with no problems on the Xbox and
Media Center Extenders.

You can get the tofu firmware revs from http://polarcloud.com/tofu

For the sake of troubleshooting, get it working on the stock firmware first,
then get the 3rd party firmware afterwards.

All right, I replaced the router and I the Extender Manager software

There are no

Two things are happening here:

try
connecting both your PC and Xbox 360 via Ethernet to your router.
If you
don't see the timeout, the wireless adapter is the problem; if you
still see
the timeout, it's the router
- Something else is causing the session terminated issue; once you

And had the 360 reset the key and tried a third time for the

back to it failing at the verifying key stage.

I connected the Xbox and the PC directly via ethernet and

conneceted,
but the xbox came up with "session terminated" saying the
connection
had been
reset by a user or application on the MCE PC before it
finished the
connection stuff when I hadn't touched anything.

After that I removed the connection from MCE's Extender
Manager and
from the
360 and returned the 360 to its usual home in the living

connecting to it again with the same circumstances (Wired

No AV or Firewalls) and it couldn't find the 360 again.

What are the IP addresses of the Xbox 360 and of the Media

Also, it would be helpful if you could temporarily connect
your PC
to your
router via an Ethernet cable in order to eliminate the
wireless side
of
things (or better yet, directly connect your PC to your
Xbox 360
using an
Ethernet cable with no router involved). I have seen one
report of
this
type of behavior that a user encountered when using a
wireless
adapter on
their PC that did not carry the Designed for Windows XP
Media Center

logo...

Cable modem to router. The 360 is wired to the router
(have tried
multiple
ports) and the PC is connected to the router via SuperG
wireless.
Both
have
full access to the internet. I had Norton AV 2006
installed (when
I made
my
first post), and I had read that removing it may help so
I did.
However,
that lead to the second post.
