Since Microsoft seems to be pushing Xbox towards a media center rather than a gaming console, I decided to try to stream my music to it from my PC. ....except I can't get it to work. Both my PC and the Xbox 360 are connected wirelessly to the same Netgear WNDR3700 router.
First i tried to set up Windows Media Center, but it kept saying that the media extender couldn't be found when I typed in the code. So then I tried to just stream it using Windows Media Player, and I can see my xbox on my PC Media Player, it is set to Allow it, but I can't connect. I have tried disabling my firewall, making sure Sharing services are started and still nothing. I even tried disabling AVG thinking that could be blocking it somehow, but none of it works.
What else can I do?? I am open to trying other ways of getting this to work, maybe even some 3rd party programs, if they are free and work. I just want to be able to play music throughout the house.
Thanks in advance.
