XBOX 360 extender : Cannot load media library from my desktop

[dogaman]

Present home setup is wireless N network with Microsoft Windows 7 desktop straight connected to router and wireless N adapters for my Windows 7 laptop and XBOX 360. Had earlier trouble with corrupted file in my music library on desktop so removed the whole thing, shaped novel library pointing to one folder and reloaded my music tracks. Trouble currently is while I start Media Center on my XBOX 360 and go to music library and choose my desktop below shared receive the below message: There are no items in this library up till now. Windows Media Center is searching for media files in the background. To insert additional music, you can go to Tasks-Settings-Media Libraries.

I also have the same problem. And Actually I attempted that with no joy. Went back to desktop, uninstalled extender and reinstalled it again. Here is the interesting part. While I navigate my XBOX 360 dashboard to Video Library in MY Xbox, the music shows up from my desktop, and I can play it. It means to me that I do not have a firewall or permissions problem. As well I can access music through Media Center from my laptop.
