Do you have an alternate network card you could try in your PC to help
isolate whether that is the source of the problem?

Also, have you checked the motherboard chipset manufacturer's website for an
updated driver for your onboard NIC?

When you connected your PC directly to your Xbox via Ethernet (no router
in the picture), did you switch the network type back to Private? (it
will automatically switch to Public when you are directly connected to
another PC)

Hi Todd,

Yes it is a full 100MB connection, the NIC in the PC is a Integrated one
for a MSI Motherboard. As I said the video streaming works fine with
WMP11 but not WMC.

The Network is by default Wired cable to a Belkin Router, then Wired to
the XBOX. I have taken the router out and issue remains.

Thanks

You mentioned being warned that you have slow network performance. Was
this when you were running a full 100 Mbps network? If so, please
provide additional information regarding the network card in your PC
and the network switch that you are using.

Hi Thanks for the reply,

The Media Center logs at present only show Windows Media Center
Extender account Mcx1 has been created for device
'uuid:10000000-0000-0000-0200-00125A7E8344'. as the last log. However
in the past it has shown other logs like:

Cannot send Extender software to device
'uuid:10000000-0000-0000-0200-00125A7E8344' . Error code: 0x800704d4.


Any ideas?

AllanF it is the full version

Please check the event viewer for any Media Center events
corresponding to the time that you tried to add the Xbox 360 as an
Extender. (right click My Computer --> Manage. Select Event
Viewer --> Select Applications and Service Logs --> Media Center)

Hi All,

just finished udating to vista ultimate and have an issue with the
XBOX 360,
the XBOX is connected via RJ45 to a 100MB network to the desktop.

When I try to setup MCE it gets to step Setting Media Locations
(6325) and
ticks that it then moves to Connecting to Extender but fails to go
any
further, on the XBOX it has "Contacting". I have tried it both with
and
without a firewall issue remains, plugged in directly to the desktop
and xbox and via a router.

If I run the network test it tells me it has slow performance.

I have also tried WMP11 media sharing and it works fine for video
and music.

Any assistance very much appreciated.

Thanks
