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...

XBOX 360 Media Sharing Help

After spending 4 hours on the phone with Linksys and Microsoft, I am still unable to get my Xbox 360 to connect to my PC. Our network is set up correctly with another PC that is connected wireless and of course an XBOX 360. So I am able to access the internet on the other PC, and connect to XBOX live on the 360. I have opened all ports, disabled all firewalls (ya, im just waiting to get hacked by this point), and still can not get my computer to connect to media share (yes, I enabled the 360 in WMP as well). The X Box 360 recognizes the PC (as in my PC name shows up my tv screen in 360 menu) but it just wont connect for some bizarre reason. I have gotten to the end of both help scripts by Microsoft and Linksys, which I mean both guys on the phone didnt have any answers or any suggestions other than to call the other company for help. If anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, PLEASE, I beg of you!

Found something that worked
I've got a 3rd party firewall running, disabling it didn't give access to the xbox, but by adding access to a service, not port forwading, in it, I've now got access
I've just allowed all access to a the static IP adress I've set on my Xbox 360 and now it goes through.
I repeat, it's not port forwarding like almost everyone says, it's allowing access from that address to the computer, just be careful to set only the address of the Xbox, not all internet.
Hope it works for everyone

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.

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.

Xbox WMP11 Media Sharing with WRT54GS & WGA54G

Hi there, I have one PC hooked up to a wireless adapter. My Xbox is hooked directly into the router. As soon as I enable my WPA key on the router and adapter, the Xbox (even though wired) loses connection settings to the wireless network, and I can no longer connect the Xbox and wireless PC. However, as soon as I disable the key, the Xbox has no problem getting in touch with the other computer and using its media sharing. When I do enable the key, the Xbox's wireless settings go grey and I can't enter any manual wireless info there. What am I doing wrong here? It really bugs me that I have to drop my secure network settings to get this to work!

Yeah, that's what left me scratching my head. Why should the Xbox care about any wireless settings at all if it's wired? Is is using those settings for connecting to the wireless adapter? The Xbox sometimes picks up the wireless settings no problem, but every time I try to manually edit those settings with the WPA key it loses the settings and goes gray (uneditable) on the Xbox screen.
But besides that, how do I make the Xbox have a static IP? It's the only wired connection to the router.

WRT55AG with Xbox 360 Media

I have spent a few weeks trying to solve this issue to no avail, and wanted to possibly hear another side on how to fix.
I have the router setup and broadcasting an "A" signal. Xbox is wireless and is connected through the router, can get on Xbox live with no trouble. PC is wired to router.
I have tried every solution I can find on xbox.com on how to stream media from my computer to my xbox, but my xbox cannot see my PC. My PC can see my xbox, and it has been allowed in WMP 11 and all steps have been taken to try and assure it will work, but it doesn't.
Anyone else having trouble with this router?

Well, using Windows Media Player 11 negates Windows Media Connect. You can't have both of them installed on the same computer.
But I did try uninstalling the Zune software (which is the software the xbox site now points to instead of WMC) and WMP 11, and then installing Windows Media Connect. When I would attempt to install that, it would fail at the "Authorizing Xbox 360...." stage. It would say there was a problem and it was unable to install.
So no, I have never used it but it's mainly because when I attempt to find my xbox using it, it can't (even though both the Zune software and WMP11 both can see my xbox)

Can't connect to Xbox 360 live with Airport Extreme wirelessly

Just bought Airport Extreme and Xbox 360 slim and we are having trouble connecting wirelessly.
When testing connection on Xbox, some problems:
- MTU setting not high enough
- does not have assigned IP address
Been trying all day and getting frustrated. Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately, the AirPorts do not offer a means to change MTU settings.
Additional Microsoft articles on the topic of MTU that may be helpful:
Xbox 360: You cannot connect to Xbox Live: The console fails the MTU test
Connection Tests: Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)

My Xbox 360 can't join my wireless network

I have an Apple wireless network but I can't get my Xbox to resolve an IP address when it tries to join the network. Other devices join the network with no problems. I've even got my Xbox to join my neighbours Apple wireless network. There must be some DHCP setting I need to change.

Yes, using WEP.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.
Choosing a password for networks that use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108058
The Xbox can log on, just can't resolve an IP
It is probably able to see the network, but is failing to authenticate which means it won't be assigned an IP address.

Xbox 360 Can't See Extreme Wireless Network

We had some AEBS problems today with several of our Macs not seeing the Airport base station. After much fiddling about, which really didn't amount to changing much, everything ended up working again. On one Mac we did do a software update to the latest AEBS software, but the other Mac seemed to cure itself.
Anyway, all Macs are working fine now. But my son's Xbox 360, which was working (seeing my network and using the Xbox wireless adaptor) is now not giving my network as one of the choices it finds in the Wireless Network Screen. We have restarted the modem, the 360, etc, nothing. We typed in the name of the network with the WPA password manually into the Xbox and still nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tom

xbox360 try 'other" to find the network and occasionally I had to change my security from wpa2 to wep then back.

Print Sharing across a wireless network.

Hello fellow Macsters,
I am trying to share my HP printer across my wireless network. here is my network setup. I have a wireless network throughout my house. an iMac 20'' desklamp without an airport card is connected to a belkin router via an ethernet cord. That router creates my wireless network, allowing my iBook G4 to conenct to it wirelessly. The wireless signal is continued by an AX in WDS bridge mode, on the second floor of my house. Currently, I can share the printer connected to the iMac, but only when the iMac is on. I would like to be able to share it without leaving the computer on. I know there are multiple ways to do it, but do not know the specifics of them. Could somebody please tell me what they are. Thank you very much.

Well if its a non network HP printer it will have to be a AEBS. HP dosent make network operable drivers for thier non-network ready printers s and thos eprinters tend to only be PCL and not PostSCript. Since all the network print protocols on the mac rely on PS youre out of liuck unless its connected directly to MAC hardware.
If youre geeky and feeling ambitious you can probably finde a driver/ppd withh the support you need on linuxprinting.org but good luck trying to get it to work properly. I tried without success for a week to get our HP3500CLat work to work over any network protocol i could get my hands on with no luck. if you (or anyone else reading this) fares better please let me know...

Sharing across a wireless network

Is there an easy way, other than mobile me, to share my calendar on my iMac with my kid's macbooks across our wireless network?

1. You could install OSX server on your iMac
2. You could install Apple Remote Desktop

Help getting my xbox 360 to see my shared external drive

I have an Xbox 360 that is hard wired to my Airport Extreme. I also have an external hard drive hard wired sharing on my network. I am trying to get the Xbox to see the shared drive so that I can view my content.
I searched all over the internet trying to find someone else that has done this, and the only thing that I came up with are these instructions (http://download.iomega.com/resources/hmnhd-wp-media.pdf) on how to get an IOMEGA HOME MEDIA NETWORK HARD DRIVE to connect, therefore I think that it is possible I just can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
Side note, my external is formatted to FAT32 and if I plug it in to the Xbox directly I can view content, so I know that the conflict is not there.
Thanks for your help,
-Bryan

I figured it out. I guess I should have tried a couple more things before posting this. LOL
I narrowed it down to the 360. Everything looked fine on the Airport Express, but then the 360 had been working fine on my old router. So that's why I thought it couldn't be the 360.
I tried running the 360 wired through the Airport, and it still wouldn't connect. Then I tried connecting it straight to the modem, still wouldn't connect. So it had to be something on the 360. I restored the factory default network settings....and bam, connected wirelessly right away. It's so odd...nothing changed except for the router (when I got the Airport). So there was no reason to suspect the 360. Hope this may help if anyone else runs into this issue.

Slow Xbox 360 Wired Connection Speed

My Xbox 360 Elite console is connected to my home network using a wired connection, but it has a slower speed (gathered using tests on this website) than all of the wireless devices connected to the network. The console achieves about 3 mbps, which is more than 3x slower than what all the wireless devices can achieve.
Here is a basic network map:
ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                     |
                                                     v
                                               Xbox 360
All wired devices have been labelled
All wireless devices are connected to either router
The TV cannot be tested as it does not have an Internet browser
Can anyone explain why the console achieves a much lower speed than the wireless devices? If so, can a solution be provided?
Thank you.

I forgot to mention I recently changed the wiring of the network.
Old wiring:
ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router
                                           |                     |
                                           v                     v
                                     Xbox 360              TV
New & current wiring:
ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                     |
                                                     v
                                               Xbox 360
The old wiring made the Xbox 360 download at ~300 kbps and not able to stream videos (neither could the TV). I don't understand why the change of wiring increased the speed so much.

Connecting an xbox 360 to the internet wirelessly

Hello,
First of all I want to apologize for writing another post about this topic. I know that there are other posts about it, but I'm very busy and don't have enough time to read through them all and pick out the info I need.
I'm thinking about purchasing a TimeCapsule along with an iMac to replace the family computer. My son has an Xbox 360 and is currently connecting wirelessly to the internet using the Microsoft Wireless Adapter and a Netgear router connected to the Windows desktop. I plan to replace the Windows desktop with the iMac and replace the Netgear router with the TimeCapsule. If this is what I do, will he still be able to connect to XboxLive? Please get back to me as soon as you can!
Thanks!

I think it only works if you use the network with 802.11b or g and a lesser security. The wireless 360 won't work with 802.11n and the wpa2 security.

TROUBLE CONNECTING XBOX 360 WIRELESSLY TO MAC AIRPORT EXTREME NETWORK

Hi, and thanks for looking. Here are the facts in a nutshell.
1. Xbox 360, set up for wireless connection.
2. Wireless network, all apple equipment. Main Base station is the new Airport Extreme, hooked to a Cable Modem (Toshiba), with transmission via Comcast Internet.
3. All wireless connections between Mac computers, and Dell PC's working flawlessly, including multiple printers.
4.Cannot connect to XBox 360 because when attempting to wireless network not recognized. When editing Wireless connection, by manually typing in the Network Name, and the WPA password, still does not work.
5. Incidentally, I have had this XBox connected before,until I purchased the new Airport Extreme Station (the rectangular one). What has changed? For one thing I added WPA security, and secondly, I got rid of a Netgear Router that I had been using for better distance, at the end of the Airport extreme chain. So the equipment is slightly different, and the security is definately different.
So please, someone tell me what I must do to have the XBox connect to a Mac AEx Network, that has WPA security, and then, how do I get XBox to recognize a computer.
Prior to this, without security, and with a netgear router as an ethernetted remote to an Airport Extreme, the XBox could get on the network, and see a Dell computer for programming. Now it can't do any of that. Sorry to be so long winded.
I've tried everything including turning the firewall off the Dell. I even tried putting the Netgear back on the network by ethernet, which then allowed the 360 to log on wirelessly, but, still could not see the Dell, even with the firewall off. Thank you

You should really search for your question in the Airport forum found here <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140>. The forum you've posted in is dedicated to Macintosh and Windows compatibility issues. While XBox 360 and Windows are both Microsoft products they are not the same thing.
I think you'll find that many folks with the new Airport Extreme base stations are having compatibility issues with many devices when trying to use any security. The best workarounds are to either hide the SSID and restrict access using the network hardware address while using no wireless security, plug the XBox 360 directly into the station with an Ethernet cable or not use the new Airport base station altogether.
Good luck finding your answer! bill
