computer details
- Dell dimension e510
- Pentium 4
- 100 Gig remaining on HD
- .net framework not installing right (not sure if this is related)

Router Details
- dlink dir 655
- firmware 1.11
- upnp enabled
- multicast enabled
- xbox ip recognized

Tryied various enabled and unenabled combinations. Removed switch and
connected directly to router. Still no improvements.

Thanks for he Christmas reply. I would love to get this system back on line.

I think I was able to remove the associated PC early on in this process.
Nothing to remove now that I can see.

Any way to force getting a new key? Or reinstalling media center ?

Which firewall (manufacturer and version) do you have? I have seen reports
that some firewalls block traffic even when they are thereotically disabled,
which means that the only way to absolutely confirm that the firewall isn't
the problem is to temporarily uninstall it.

Also, how does your Xbox connect back to your PC? (i.e. wired/wireless and
specific switches/router/hubs involved)
