Re: Help MCE + X360

Please try directly connecting your PC to your Xbox 360 using an Ethernet
cable (completely bypassing your router and hub) to identify/eliminate this
equipment as the source of the problem. Note: the Xbox 360 will auto-sense,
so a straight-through Ethernet cable is fine.

Also, do you have any third-party firewall, intrusion detection, anti-virus,
privacy guard, or parental control software installed on your PC?

Hi all,
i'm in trouble trying to connect my Xbox 360 to Windows Media Center
as an Extender... I have followed on-screen instructions a dozen
times, but never come to a solution.. Searched on internet but found
nothing...

The network looks like this:
One PC with WMCE 2005 hard-wired to a d-link hub
X360 hard-wired to the same hub
The hub connected to the router.

I have also tried to leave the two connected trough the hub without
internet connection, but nothing happened...

When I try to connect the two, I take the security codes from the
Xbox, then, followin the instructions, insert the codes when asked by
the media center extender software, click next, then the Xbox starts
the black WMC screen with loading circles, PC shows something like
"connecting to Xbox 360" and, after some seconds, the xbox and the pc
say that can't find the other...

Searching in logs found this in DvcConn.log:
15.04.35 : Waiting for security codes exchange status.

***********************************************************
ERROR
***********************************************************
Security code exchange timed out.

I've searched everywhere and I can't find a fix for me... Help plz!


Michele.
