So in addition to the adjustments I had to make with my NAT settings, I found out last night that my new 360 will not access any media on my server thru Windows Media Connect (WMC).
I checked out my WMC info and it had my old 360 allowed and the new one denied. I changed the new one to allowed and deleted the old one. The new one is showing up as allowed on my PC, but for some reason my 360 is not finding any media from my PC.
I tested the media connection thru the 360 and it passes every test but still nothing shows up. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the PC thru the 360, but that didn't work.
I reset the firewall settings (to ensure the ports were opened up), restarted the computer and restarted the 360 to no avail. For whatever reason the 360 refuses to see any media on my PC.
Last night I also tried reinstalling WMC on my server. Still no luck. It recognizes the PC, but simply shows "no media" when I try to access my photos/music.
I have also double checked and all of the proper folders are shared.
Right now my only question is WTH? This makes absolutely no sense. Can anyone shed some light on this one for me or offer up any other suggestions or things to try. If the 360 is allowed, the firewall has opened up the ports and WMC is running, why won't the 360 see any of the media? I'm at a loss on this one so I appreciate any help you all can offer.
