This is correct because otherwise they wouldn't show up together on the Network map. You can only share media using Windows Media Player 11, etc. This is correct because I had to go through Windows Media Player to originally open media sharing to my XBox and it allows it. I figure that because I cannot even connect to my PC yet, I wouldn't be able to connect to Windows Media Center; this proves true when I attempt to do so.
When I go to www. I would like to be able to be like the rest of my friends and stream my music from my Laptop to my XBox Can someone please help? Thank you in advance. This thread is locked.
You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. The laptop started going throught the steps of configuring my computer and extender and the Xbox even launched Windows Media Center and went to the black "contacting screen". During the last step Connecting to your extender it hung and after sitting there for 2 minutes, the xbox gave me the error message, "Connection failure, the xbox failed to connect, turn your xbox off and on and try again".
I did, didn't work. From here on out has been a nightmare, I've tried uninstalling the extender and reinstalling it, but once I uninstall it, the laptop won't even recognize that there is an extender connected to the network.
If I view the network map, it shows the Xbxo , but I can't get the laptop and xbox to communicate. I tried to hardwire both the laptop and the xbox to the network and I finally got the laptop to acknowledge the xbox, but the setup failed at the exact same spot as the first time and gave me the connection failuire message. Currently the extender is installed and reported as "ready to use", but I get the connection failure message every time. Under 'Devices and Printers', it shows that there is an xbox media center extender installed, but it's grayed out.
I've tried everything I can think of. Somebody please give me the tip that breaks this thing open! Oh and the Xbox connects fine to Xbox Live and Live is fully functional.

It does on the fly decoding of files not playable on the xbox. Most files wont need decoding, and their isnt much lag after that. Maybe becuse the WiFi on your laptop isnt strong enough to support the WireLess N network on your router.
I would try a hard wire to your laptop and see if that works. I hope you get your problems fixed. Jul 11, 29, 2 I'd vote for giving tversity a shot as well. Always had issues with WMC. BD Lifer.

I just wanted to see how the extender worked.
Holmes Junior Member. May 17, 1 0 0. Matt, I know I'm a bit late to the party, but if you haven't solved it yet, I thought I'd try and help. I don't use Media Center myself, I stream everything from the dashboard. So I'm not sure if this step applies to you.
But have you checked under "Network and sharing" and "advance sharing". There is usually a list of devices, hopefully including your , with an option to "allow" or "block"? I always have to manually allow my xbox to stream through the dashboard.
