You need to create a network between the 360 and your PC. Go to your control panel and click on create home network. This will open your PC to connections from the 360. _________________________________________________________

Im going to write a quick tutorial now which will hopefully explain things in full detail on what you have to do to get your Xbox 360 on your HOME NETWORK so you can share files from your PC to the Xbox 360.
Im sure it will help when i get it done..
Be sure to check the tutorials area too for more info which may help you:
I use TVersity to stream all my music, videos, and pictures, and even some youtube videos, and 360-hq trailers! I think TVersity is the most useful program for your pc/360. The only thing you need to remember when setting it up is that you have to open the port on your pc and your router and you need to set sharing to yes in Windows Media Player 11
Hay thanks tut would be good see one but just couldnt work it out.
Thanks will look now at it.
Changed signature.
Its still a little wide, if you need help making it smaller or anything feel free to let me know. Also if you have any questions setting your TVersity up let me know and I'll help you out! _________________________________________________________ 360-HQ Toolbar | 360-hq Digg news | 360-HQ Active Topics | 360-HQ Boxxet Page | My Setup

ok cuoming back to this just been on holyday so no going to sort this out i have just downloaded and installed TVersity i have windows media player 11 installed and network cable from 360 to pc. and thats it do i have to setup IP adress's or sumthing. I have done the normal xbox 1's before but new to the 360. Also looked at the TUT. I dont have xbox live.
Alright, you shouldn't need xbox live for streaming media, but by the sounds of it your running a cat45 directly from the xbox 360 to the pc (or is there a router in between?)
My first tip is opening ports in your windows firewall and router(if you have one)
Yeh just got a normal non crossover cable going from xbox to the mobo network port.
I have clicked share on windows media player.
Have got xp pro sp3 installed. And running AVG anti virus.
Do you have to do anything in Network Connections? like Local Area Connection is on at moment and is saying network cable unpluged when i turn 360 on it looks for connection and pops up a message This connection is limited or have no connectivity. also i have got wireless net but the running off a usb sender.
