Re: Media Centre stalls on Xbox

Please try directly connecting your PC to your Xbox 360 using an Ethernet
cable (completely bypassing your router) to identify/eliminate your router
as the source of the problem. Note that because you are bypassing your home
router, you'll need to manually toggle the network type back to Home in the
Windows Firewall settings when you switch to a direct connection.

Also, check the Application, System, Media Center, and Security Event Viewer
logs (right click Computer --> Manage) for any errors corresponding to the
time that you saw this behavior.

Please help! I have connected a 360 to my wireless router via ethernet,
and
connected the Vista Ultimate PC to the router - also by ethernet. The 360
connects fine to the PC and I can stream music and photos. However, Media
Centre does not connect. I can check network performance of the extender
whilst its trying to connect and it only shows one to two bars in the
graph.

After a few minutes of trying to connect, the xbox reports that an
unexpected error occured and that it may be due to bandwidth, or the PC is
off etc. Obviously none of this sounds correct.

Is there likely to be something on the router settings that is preventing
the appropriate bandwidth? Its an Open iconnect 625w modem/router,
laptop -
2.2 ghz (core 2 duo), 2 gig ram etc etc (is brand new).

The same problem occurs regardless of firewall on or off.

Any clues?
