360 cannot see Vista PC

[PeteJ]

I've recently upgraded to Vista Home Premium, and now my 360 cannot connect to my PC. I had this working fine on XP (via media player11) but now the two refuse to connect.

The PC can see the 360 fine, and the console appears in the Vista network map. I have allowed the connection in media player 11 too.

When trying to add the 360 as an Extender the PC comes back saying it couldn't find an extender, and when I just try to connect from the dash it isn't finding any PC...

On the PC I have windows firewall (I've setup all the port forwarding as per the microsoft site, and even turned it off) and AVG. Both devices are connected wirelessly into a netgear router.

UPnP is switched on and the router is set to DHCP.

Is there anything else I'm missing? The instructions on the web are useless if anything goes wrong!

trying downloading the Zune software and streaming through that instead

Same problem, can see 360 but 360 cannot see PC\zune.

Is there some sort of security feature in Vista that I'm not aware of?

You could try setting your network to public

[PeteJ]

Nope

I installed an update to media player 11 and for a brief moment it showed up my PC, but when I selected it the machine vanished never to be seen again!

Hmm well, it now works but I don't know how. Installed some older XP drivers for my PCI wireless and now it connects up. So very strange...

Media Centre still doesn't work though.

I dont know what is causing the problem. But switch on xbox 360 and pc, then use media centre software to connect to pc then enter the number on pc to set up connection.

Try to delete previous settings if there is any. If you have replaced xbox 360 due to lucky red ring of death. It might be looking for different console.
