First off been working with computers for 10 years. Im extremely frustrated over this , that I cannot get this to work. It worked before, I changed nothing, then 1 day it just stopped working. I updated nothing, changed nothing, added nothing.
I have win 7 ultimate. And the new xbox 360 slim running on wireless. I have a static Ip for my xbox, and my router settings are set to DMZ it.
I have network discovery on.
Media streaming on.
Media Center Extender serivce on
MCE is set to go through windows firewall.
UPnP is enabled and running
Im on Home Network.
My xbox does not recognize my PC. So every time I select media center on the XBOX , it wants me to set it up. ( with the 8 digit key )
I put the key in like normal on the PC's Windows Media Center, and it tells me it cannot find the extender.
Note everytime its unable to find the Extender and fails to connect, I check my services on the PC, And Windows Media Center Extender Service gets disabled, and it also gets unchecked on the Windows Firewall.
I have tried disabling windows firewall and my personal firewall . Same problem.
I have tried wired connection and DHCP with xbox. Same problem
Reset router / modem . Manually Port forwarded xbox. Same problem
My event log gives me this error ( everytime WMC cannot connect to the Xbox )
Event ID 538 Media Center Extender Setup failed as the Extender WAS detected on the network but the UPnP search for the Extender failed (timed out after 20000ms).
Anyone have ANY clue what the problem is? Thanks
Also , when u manually open ports on the router, for the xbox, rather it be for windows media center or for nat, when u put in the ports, u want to put in the ip adress that the xbox is using correct? and not the PCs ip adress
