i am setting up my media center computer to connect to my xbox 360 and
the setup cant find my xbox.

i have a wireless network,
both my xbox and my computer are connected to the same router
both mcafee and windows firewall are disabled

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try uninstalling the mcafee firewall (disabling it does not completely shut
down its services).
Windows Firewall shouldn't be causing issues, especially since the Xbox 260
extender software knows exactly what ports to open on the firewall.

What errors are you getting? (check the DvcConn and DvcSetup files in your
Windows directory and the Event Viewer for events at the time of your
attempted connections).

i uninstalled mcafee i still cannot connect

the DvcConn says
"WARNING: Unable to detect any third party firewalls.
Searching device table for unaffiliated bobsleds.
Matching device not found: Entering 15 second wait.
Re-Searching device table for unaffiliated bobsleds.
************************************************** *********
ERROR
************************************************** *********
No MCRD device detected."

and the DvcSetup has nothing

What ip/netmask is your MCE machine receiving on your network?
What ip/netmask is your Xbox 360 receiving on your network?
What router do you have (and what firmware revision are you using)?
(you can find this information on either the MCE/Xbox 360 or via the router
config pages)

Allof them are connecting to the same netmask

And my router gave me this...

Vendor Name: Netgear

Operating Mode: Cable Home Mode 1.0

System Up-Time: 15 days 22h:24m:30s

i can use the windows media connect feature
(so my xbox can pick up my computer and my computer can pick up my xbox)
