RE: Vista Beta 2 & Xbox 360 MC



Yes, all my components passed. Like I said, I had it working to begin with,
so there must the something that starts out right and then goes sour. As for
issues with the setup process, before doing the full reinstall I could not
get it to go through the setup again. It gave the me standard "An error has
occurred during the setup process. Please restart your extender (and PC -
sometimes) and try again." Since I was then able to get it to work and run
the Network Tuner built in to Media Center and find out that my bandwidth was
an issue (only after the first restart, remember, it showed it to be fully
functional before that) I can only assume that is why it is not connecting
now. There's no excess software or drivers that aren't needed (I haven't
bothere adding anything in case I have to reinstall again!)

Did you run the Vista upgrade advisor? Did your components pass?
Since you stated MCE works fine, you must have 100mps wired network, correct?
Did you install any third party software?
All hardware has drivers installed?
You stated that you had issues with completing the 'setup process", what
were those problems?

I have both premium and core 360's and they work with the Vista B2
release...of course, B2 has plenty of issues, so even if you get things
working with B2, you might want to fire up MCE2005 RU2 till Vista RC1 ships.
Why RC1, cause the builds after Vista B2 so far have not had XBOX360 support.

Well, as stated, Beta 2, so 5384 and yes, Ultimate. My network is pretty
standard. Router connected to the internet all other computers and the 360
connected to router. I highly doubt the issue is there since it was able to
work once and it has worked with no difficulty using MCE 2005 in the past. I
just can't pinpoint whether the problem lies with Vista (my assumption) or
the 360. I mean, why would it work after loading it and then not after just 1
restart?

Which build version of Vista?
You installed the Ultimate version, correct?
How is your network setup?

Okay, so I've asked a few questions thus far about Media Center on Vista B2
and have yet to find an answer that allows me to get through the setup
process. Well after doing a complete reinstall I now am able to complete the
setup and connect to the 360. However, after my very first restart (almost no
settings changed to the computer), it can't connect and the Media Center
diagnostic tells me there is not enough bandwidth. Anyone have and ideas to
remedy this???
