Re: Installing a 360 Media Center Extender

Wow, I had no problems with that combination, but I have a different router.
Vista installed with all defaults, found the tuners...got Media Center set
up fine. I then went to the 360 and told it to look for a Media Center...it
gave me the code number to enter, I went to the Vista box and it already had
a dialog where it wanted that code number, then we were good to go.

Now, I _did_ hook the 360 to the network first, and let it go find the xbox
live web site and download updates, so I knew the connection from the 360 to
the network was good. You can cable the 360 _direct_ to your PC's network
port and try that...assuming that works, then your router is the issue. If
it fails, then it could be the 360 wired network port...have you tried the
wireless yet?

I'm having trouble getting my Xbox 360 Media Center Extender up and
running.
I've done a clean install of the Vista RC1 Ultimate Edition. I've tried
going
step by step through the process. I just can't seem to get my Xbox 360
tied
to the computer. Could someone give me a nice step-by-step guide assuming
I
have a clean install, with no AV, Firewall, etc. installed other than what
is
included in Vista.

Am running on a Linksys wired router. Have put the port information there.
FWIW ... on an earlier install I got it to see the 360, but than it
couldn't
configure it.

Hopefully someone can help me get up and running, so that I can finally
enjoy the Media Center Experience on my television.
