Media Sharing to Xbox 360 trough WRT160N

Does anyone know if I have to forward a port or hange a setting or do something?
I did not change any settings on my PC or anything when I changed from my old G series to this new N series, but for some reason, the 360 can't find the PC but on the Linksys Easylink I can see it connected and I can see the Ethernet port light on the router light up when the 360 turns on.
Any help?

Also turn all firewalls off then try connect, once you are connected you can turn your firwalls back on...
This could also be a computer software firewall problem.  When you replaced your router, your computer software firewall noticed that you "joined a new network", and therefore automatically set itself so that no other computers/devices on the network are "trusted".  Therefore signals from the other computers/devices are being blocked by the computer software firewall.
To fix this problem, go into the computer software firewall on each computer, and set it to "trust" the other computers on your network.
If your firewall or PC security program keeps a list of trusted applications (also known as a "trusted zone"), then make sure that your router is in the trusted zone on your firewall...

  • Satellite A300-1OM - Media sharing with XBox 360

    I'm having some real problems sharing my media with my Xbox 360 using my wireless home network.
    I used to connect my 360 to the internet via internet sharing with my laptop connected via Ethernet. I am now borrowing a wireless adaptor for the 360 which still allows me to connect to the internet on the 360, but I can no longer access my laptops music library or find a Windows Media Centre PC when searching the network on my 360.
    My laptop is running Windows 7 64bit. When I view "network" my own laptop appears, my second laptop connected to the network is also shown and the 360 is also shown under media devices. Under "Media Streaming Options" my 360 is also listed and given full access to my laptop media.
    When my laptop is connected directly to my 360 via Ethernet the music library and video library works fine, as does Windows Media Centre.
    Does anybody know of any solutions to this issue? I'm assuming this is just going to be an issue with some settings on my laptop as opposed to an issue with my Xbox. Any advice much appreciated!

    OK, agreed this may not be in the correct forum, but it may be a notebook problem so I thought I'd ask here where people with the most Toshiba knowledge would read it. Let's not lower this forum to the standards of discussing the choices of games consoles though :)
    I risked all and turned off my firewall and all my protection software, still no progress though. It really doesn't make sense that my notebook even displays that there is a 360 on my network whilst it's connected to the network yet the 360 can't detect the computer when I ask it to search the network for one.

  • E4200 -- no sharing, no xbox 360 media extender

    Problem:  Shares don't work on my network from win7 box (trying to access these from a wd hd tv live plus), can't use xbox 360 as a windows media extender from win7 box, Media sharing from Windows Media Player from win7 box doesn't work (trying to access these from a wd hd tv live plus and xbox 360).  
    Note...if I attach a hard drive to the router, I can share from the hard drive attached to the router and use it as uPnP device.
    This linksys replaced a netgear router.  That is the only thing that has changed in the network configuration.  All of the sharing and xbox 360 windows media extender worked when I had the netgear.
    I have tried removing the xbox360 as an extender and readding it.  I have tried changing the multicast setting.
    I tried calling linksys support and they didn't know how to help.
    Gaming works fine through the xbox 360.  Internet access is great on the win 7 box, hd tv live plus, xbox 360, and wii--MUCH better than the netgear, which is why I want to make this work

    Disable Network sharing on all the computers/devices. Restart all the computers/devices. Enable network sharing again on all the computer and devices. Make sure that all the computers and devices are in the same work group. if there is any firewall/Anti-virus installed on your computer then disable it or turn it off and see if that works.

  • Problem streaming from Windows Media Center to XBOX 360 with Airports?

    Good evening,
    I have been having an issue trying to stream windows media center from my windows 7 ultimate (64 bit if that helps) to my Xbox 360. My network setup is:
    I have an airport extreme (G) that is plugged into my cable modem and my windows 7 machine. In my living room I have an airport express that extends my wireless signal through out the house but my xbox 360 is plugged into it via ethernet. I have a very fast internet connection that is stable but any transfer between my computer and xbox is very limited it seems. I was wonder if there is a way to get this to work better. When I lunch windows media center on the xbox it sees my pc and it shows the available files but when I try and move from one to the other nothing happens and eventually I get a can't connect error. Would I be better off not connecting via ethernet to the airport express and just buying a wireless adapter?
    Thanks

    You don't say how your devices are connected, whether through your Verizon router or some other way.  If through, say, an Actiontec then you may be having bottleneck issues.  I used to run all my devices through my Actiontec and got poor transfer speeds (it only handles 10/100).  Moving everything on my network to a 10/100/1000 switch helped my transfer speeds to shoot right up ten fold.  This way only the switch gets connected to my Actiontec and my network devices can still get out on the 'net if needed.
    It's ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but just make sure it's round.

  • ITunes and Windows Media Center on XBOX 360

  • Internet Sharing and Xbox 360

    I want to share my Airport connection via ethernet to my Xbox 360. When I go to the internet sharing pane in system preferences, Ethernet does not show up as an option to share over. Any suggestions as to how to get it to show up? I have a late 2006 macbook.

    I also recently got an Xbox and have been researching this same topic. This has been the most consistent solution to the problem that I've found:
    you can share your internet connection through your Mac using a wireless network, but you have to connect your Mac to the Xbox via ethernet:
    modem > wireless router > (via wireless) mac > (via ethernet cable) xbox (equipped with the Xbox wireless adaptor)
    most people advising this solution were using a portable mac so it was easy for them to move it around.
    The question that I still have not found an answer to is this: can I connect my Xbox WIRELESSLY to the internet via my iMac's airport connection? i.e.:
    modem > (via ethernet cable) iMac > (via WIRELESS shared internet connection) > Xbox
    I'm going to try the first solution for my 1-month free membership, but would rather not have to use my macbook as a wireless bridge if I can keep everything wireless by getting the Xbox wireless adapter.

    Go to your router webpage. 
    In the DHCP list identify your xbox IP
    Go to Application & Gaming Tag
    Go to single port forwarding
    Input the settings from the picture below
    Tick all the boxes on the right side where you made the inputs

  • Streaming on Xbox 360 trough time Capsule

    Anyone has tried to share the pictures and videos stored on the time capsule ?
    I know the streaming on xbox360 doesn't work with all the shared storage HD

    This is not possible. I would suggest you check out a program called "Connect360" that allows your iTunes music library and iPhoto library to be streamed on your 360.

  • Windows Media Center and Xbox 360 have stopped communicating

    I've had my Xbox and PC connected for years and have never had an issue until now. My laptop is running Windows 7, and has a wireless connection, but the Xbox is hardwired into my router. Now for some reason, the connection just stopped working. I
    tried deleting the old extender connection in Windows Media Center and generated a new pass code for it on the Xbox. When I enter it in, my PC tells me that my Xbox is connected to a different network, but it's not. I only have the one network and I know my
    PC isn't mistakenly connected to an unsecured, neighboring one. I've unplugged my modem and router, restarted the Xbox and my computer, checked my connection on both devices multiple times, but I can't seem to find a solution. So, what more can I do?

    Check the support web site of the manufacturer of your wireless router for the latest firmware update and install it.  If none is available, proceed to
    Reset Your Router to Factory Default Settings.

  • Can't get Xbox 360 Media Center Extender to work

    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  This is a retail copy.  I had previously set up Windows Media Center and successfully set up my Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender.
    After a long hiatus of using Windows Media Center, I went to watch a movie in my media library through my Xbox 360.  It would appear to initially connect and then show the Windows Media Center loading screen and say "Contacting..."  After about 30 seconds, it would display an error asking me to make sure my Windows Media Center PC is turned on (it is).  I ran the Windows Media Center network test in the Xbox 360 and it tested fine.
    I attempted to delete the Media Center Extender in WMC and set it up again, but it always fails with an error "An error was encountered while configuring your computer for use with this Extender" at the part where it says "Configuring your Extender".
    I looked in the Event Viewer under the Media Center section and found event ID 543:

    I also tried turning off the Windows firewall on the Windows Media Center PC, but this had no effect on the outcome.  I also tried deleting the Microsoft Windows Media Center Extender Host certificate and restarting the Network List Service, but these steps to did nothing to fix the issue.
    I am using the same computer with the same NIC with the same Ethernet cable with the same SOHO router (Linksys WRT54GL) with the same Xbox 360.  Any advice would be welcome at this point.

  • No Longer Able to stream content to Xbox 360

    I have just installed Lion and can no longer stream media to my Xbox 360 using Rivet. I had no problems streaming them before, and am still able to stream the media on my 2TB NAS drive but it says the format is not supported on my Xbox when I try to play media on my MBP (with Lion). All of the files are regular .avi files, and play fine on my machine. Anybody else having issues streaming to xbox 360 since upgrading to Lion?
    Thanks

    It happened the same to me using Rivet and streaming (from my iMac) to my TV directly (has Wifi).
    In Rivet webpage says that Rivet is no longer supported by them (so I supose that there is no update for Lion). Nevertheless, I have tried with other media servers (like Serviio or Majestic) and doesn't work either...
    Anybody know if there is going to be a patch or a solution?
    Thanks a lot, greeting from Spain :-)

  • Time Capsule as Samba Server + Xbox 360?

    I'm trying to connect a my xbox 360 or PS3 to my time capsule so I can dump my podcasts onto my time capsule and then stream them to my TV (without buying an AppleTV... or Mac Mini, which is what I really want). I seem to understand I can connect my 360 to a Samba server, and that the TC can be a samba server, but I can't seem to figure out how to set that up.
    If anyone knows how to either connect a 360 to a samba server or how to stream media to an xbox 360 (or PS3) from a TC... I would love some help! I've been searching Google relentlessly, but my time on message boards has taught me I'm terrible at searching...

    Although the Time Capsule (TC) offers File Server services for SMB/CIFS, it is neither a Samba server nor a full-featured multimedia server. You can certainly store podcasts or other media files on it, but it will not have any means to stream these data to the XBox 360 or any other multimedia player device via the TC natively.

  • XBOX 360 media sharing across wired/wireless

    I have a WRT54G, 2 Windows machines, and an XBOX 360. Everything works as expected except that I cannot connect the PC's to the XBOX except via wireless. If a PC is wired to the router, Windows Media Player doesn't see the XBOX. If I ping the XBOX while connected via a cable, I do have connectivity but the first ping takes ~40ms and then drops to ~1ms, which seems to indicate an ARP was required.
    I updated the firmware on the router to the latest (v4.21.1 ) but the problem persists.
    It seems that the devices can only communicate over whatever ports/protocols required if they are both on wireless (or possibly both wired works as well; haven't tried). I don't see any setting in the router that seems relevant, but I'm hoping I've just missed something. It would be very nice to be able to be able to use my desktop via a wired connection, and have access to it's music on the XBOX. Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks!

    Listen to Music, Watch Videos & View Pictures on your Xbox 360 :
    You can stream music, pictures, and video to your console from any Windows XP or Vista based PC on your network. Use the Zune software or Windows Media Player 11 to stream content to your console...
