Re: "Invalid Connection Data" Message XBOX 360 acting as an MCE

Bill,
I am looking at your trace today and have a couple questions for you.
Was the PC directly connected to the Xbox during this trace?
What type of network card is installed in the Sony Viao PC?
Are there any messages being reported to the event viewer during your setup
attempt?
Are you using the Norton Internet Security Firewall or do you have other
Internate Security Suite items installed?

Thanks

Todd,

The capture using netcap has been sent.

Thanks,

Bill

The network trace appears to be garbled. Could you capture a new trace
using Netcap? (my current favorite tool for such things). Steps:

1) Install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools from the following
link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=49AE8576-9BB9-4126-9761-BA8011FABF38&displaylang=en
2) Once installed, open a cmd window and change active directory to the
Support Tools directory
3) Start the network capture using "netcap.exe". The /n: parameter
specifies
which network interface should be monitored. To discover the network
interfaces on your machine type "netcap /?" The interfaces will be listed
at
the end to the executables help details.
... Example: C:\Program Files\ Support Tools>netcap /n:1
4) Conduct the steps to reproduce the problem you are seeing (attempt to
get connected). Once complete return back to the command window and hit
the
space
bar.
5) E-mail the trace to the same address (msft_mcx at hotmail) and post
back
here once you've done so

thanks,.
Todd

Todd,

Did you receive the 2 emails I sent you...packet capture and
DvcConn.logg
file?

Thanks,

Bill

Todd,

I have Norton Internet Security 2006, I have opened all the ports I
have
found in the various kb articles such as 911728 and followed the
instructions
found on Symantecs website from top to bottom. I have also
disabled
all
aspects of it on many occasions.

I have opened ports on the Linksys router and taken it out of play
by
direct
connection of the PC and XBOX. Still the same thing...I get the
"Invalid
Connection Data" Message on the XBOX 360 when I try to connect.
What
I
find
interesting is everytime I boot up my computer I get a notification
in
the
tray in the lower right hand corner asking me if I would like to
make
a
connection to the new XBOX 360 it has found!!!

I have followed the steps in KB911739 many times...for a while I
had
to go
through the process in the article just to get the XBOX to not blow
past
the
8 digit code after getting the "Invalid Connection Data" Message.
After I
deleted the entry under device table (one time only) in the
registry
it
stopped blowing by the 8 digit code but for each and everything I
try
I go
back through the steps in KB911739 to ensure nothing is left to
chance.

I have a packet capture available that I attempted to email to
you...I
took
a guess at your email address so who knows if you will get the
email.

Couple questions:

anti-virus,
privacy guard, or parental control software installed on your PC?
- Have you tried all of the steps outlined the following kb
article?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911739

If you answer is no to the first question and yes to the second
question,
please do the following:
1) Launch regedit (Start --> Run --> "regedit" <enter>)
2) Navigate to
HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/MediaCenterPeripheral
3) Right click DeviceTable, select Export
4) In the File name field, type "DeviceTable.txt", including the
quote

(i.e. DeviceTable.txt with double quotes before and after it) and
save
the
file to anyplace of your choosing
5) Open DeviceTable.txt in notepad, copy the contents, and paste
them
