You need to disable your firewall. I was having the same issue earlier this week, I had to disable the firewall, access my PC via Xbox then enable the firewall.

I use an external hard drive connect through the usb. Its formatted with the fat32 file system so its compatible with the 360. Its great. Take it over to mates places and watch stuff on there xbox. Gave up on streaming after i got a new pc with a HDMI out. Run HDMI cable to my LCD TV, although the 360 does do a damn fine job as media player if you video is in the right format. The color appeared better and the edges smother on this 720p WMV movie I was watching on the xbox compared to the exact same video played back from my pc. Its not major buts its a little nicer.

All you need to do is install XP Service Pack 2, allow the ports used by your 360 through your firewall, and share the folder with the files you want to use on your 360.
