Win Services set to auto and started
-Universal Plug & Play Device Host
-WMP Networking Sharing Service
-SSDP
DRM under All Users cleared
Win Firewall with port forwarding open as noted
PC connect to router wirelessly
Xbox 360 wired to same router
Xbox 360 with NXE OS - can connect to Xbox Live
Router with ports open (Xbox Live, additionally same ports open as Win Firewall with PC selected)
Router shows IP addresses of both Xbox and PC connected
Symantec Antivirus 10
Windows Defender 1.1

Xbox does not see PC
PC does not see Xbox


Thanks in advance.

You might try to connect both wired as some routers don't bridge LAN and WLAN correctly.

Thanks for suggestion. I tried it and it didn't make any difference whether logoned though domain or pc.

Hi - take a look at this link "What are the network requirements?"
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ing.mspx#q20_6

In particular as you've mentioned Domains, you may be on, or
participate in a coroporate network.

In the case this uses IPSEC (i.e. you use a VPN to access the domain),
the link above is very applicable and you'd have to turn off IPSEC to
be able to use the sharing service.

Even if it isn't you'd need to ensure your XP machine wasn't on a
public and a private network at the same time. The sharing service is
designed deliberately not to share over the public internet, so only
within a local subnet (i.e behind a router, on a private IP address),

HTH

Hi Neil,

Thanks for your reply. I've done so many things to try to make it work I forgot to mention in my initial post that I had already switch IPSEC to manual. I no longer run vpn or connect to the corporate network / domain though I still use my old corporate log-on which has a domain CORPDOMAIN to log-on to the pc. That I believe (I'm not very knowledgeable about networks) that is called a cache domain??? But having admin rights I created a separate log-on directly to the pc with same results.
I believe the pc and xbox are on the same subnet

Also I found this statement:

"If your computer is on a domain, make sure the computer as been added to the Windows Authorization Access group in Active Directory. Most home setups are not on a domain. If you are on a domain, someone set it up, and that person should check this. "
On http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/...3-pcmedia1.htm

Which I don't know what to do with...
