Deliver the Xbox 360 to laptop Dell networking that works with Vista

I am trying to network my xbox 360 with my laptop, so I can share multimedia files, and I made all the necessary changes (change the privacy setting of the network in 'private' and ran several diagnostics of connection problems, blah blah blah).  but nothing has worked.  could someone tell me what the heck I'm supposed to do? and when the devil they start charging for chat with technical support technicians?

  • Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

    It's VERY odd and very annoying!

    I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

    So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

    However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

    He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

    I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

    She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

    If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

    I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

    But the Xbox itself on the other side ot the network...

    So please don't tell me to install controller drivers...

    Really do not do...

    Yes, I've read hundreds of times people have asked this very question.

    To always have the microlimp people answer with «just install the controller driver and everything'll be fine...»  You want a pill with this useless response? »

    My very expensive windows 7 gaming machine speaks to everything perfectly. Everything there is certified to work with windows... Nothing is no name made in China...

    And apparently the xbox slim is certified...

    Then why they will not speak to each other...

    The windows updates did not have a pilot.

    I tried the controller driver... It did not help at all...

    So please don't just tell me to install the controller driver...

    And maybe think about why we shouldn't just scrap xbox and get a media center that works?

  • Media center immediately crashes when I try to add the extender for the Xbox 360

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I try to add the extender for the Xbox 360 to Windows Media Center. When I go to Media Center tasks and add an Extender, Media Center crashes immediately after I enter my Xbox console 8-digit code and click Next.  I have disabled the firewall of the router and firewall windows without success.  Restart the computer and the Xbox has not helped either.  Any suggestions that I can not yet put in place the Extender?

    Thank you.

    Hi Eric,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you have trouble connecting Xbox 360 extender for Windows Media Center.

    I will certainly help you with this issue.

    Here are some methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Disable the antivirus software and make sure.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Clear the Xbox 360 console system cache and check.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971755

    Method 3: Reconnect to Windows Media Center

    In the event that something happened to your connection, try to disconnect and reconnect to your Windows Media Center computer.

    To disconnect and reconnect to Windows Media Center:

    a. in the Xbox Dashboard, go to My Xbox and open Control Panel.
    b. Select computers, Windows Media Center.
    c. Select Disconnect.
    d. Select the installation program and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the Media Center Windows Installer.

  • Windows Media Center on the xbox 360 extender Feezes

    Hello

    I have recently updated from windows vista to windows 7 and now can't use my xbox as an Extender as it freezes when opening on my xbox.

    I looked through many forums that suggest that it freezes before the opening, for example to connect to the computer, my problem happens after it connects.

    I turned off my firewall and now only have the windows firewall, which apparently must allow the connection.

    The only other difference is that I bought 2 powerline adapters both capable of speeds of 200 Mbps, so I don't see why they should cause problems.

    Any help would be appreciated. My computer knowledge is not really great, but will try all of the suggestions.

    Hi Mattlucas1976,

    You can also check the firewall and security settings. Sometimes they interfere in the connections. Try to disable them temporarily and check if you are able to connect to wireless internet. Later do reactivate and try to change the settings for the same thing.
