Windows Forum / Windows Media / Devices / December 2005Need help with Xbox360 Media connect
HI, this is confusing...i need help! :) I am using a linksys wireless access point router with the official xbox wireless adapter. I am able to connect to XboxLive, but WIndows Media Connect cannot see my xbox device. What are the settings that have to be active? Do i need to change IP address or what? I do not believe its a wireless security issue because it does not connect with it turned on or off. If you have had similiar issues i could really use your help! Thank you Same issue on this end. Linksys Wireless G, with Adapter. I've successfully installed WMC. The Xbox shows up in WMC. However, when I go to access it from the XBOX the XBOX cannot find the PC. I've tried hours of combinations and checked that all services are in fact running that are required. Judging from the number of posts and problems on this issue there is some kind of definitive problem that isn't being mentioned. Can we start to zero in on why this doesn't work in some scenarios? Regards > HI, this is confusing...i need help! :) > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you In order to work, the XBox and the computer must be on the same sub-net. It could be that the wireless network is one sub-net and the wired network is another. Look at the IP address and Subnet Mask for both the xbox and the PC. When you do a logical "AND" of the IP address and subnet mask and compare the results, if they are the same then the two ip addresses are on the same subnet. if not, then WMC isn't going to be able to communicate. Here are two IP addresses on the same subnet 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.101 255.255.255.0 When you do a byte-wise and of the IP and the subnet mask both are on the 192.168.0.0 subnet. Here are two IP address that are not on the same subnet 192.169.0.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 The first on is on the 192.168.0.0 subnet, and the other is on the 192.168.1.0 subnet. Now, if the subnet mask was 255.255.254.0 then they would both be on the same subnet Hope that helps,  SignatureAlan Ludwig Software Design Engineer Windows Media Devices Group Microsoft Corp.

I've reset my firewall settings on media connect, also put in WEP access codes, and opened up ports on firewall. > i checked that and both xbox and pc are on the same subnet... > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > > > Hope that helps, Have you checked out the README and FAQ http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/devices/wmconnect/readme.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/devices/wmconnect/faq.aspx There is some good stuff in there on troubleshooting network issues.

I've seen similar problems with discovery with outdated router firmware. I've seen similar problems with routers that had to have UPnP Enabled in order for the SSDP packets to be propperly forwarded. I've seen simlar problems with 3rd party "security" tools that lock-out UPnP Functionality in unexpcted ways. I've seen similar problems because users have changed the configuration of UPnP Services. And of course some of the problmes I'm sure I mistakenly put in there myself. And I'll keep working on all of these problems no matter what the cause. In this case, the error is REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG. So basically during the function call to create the UPnP Device it is trying to create a COM object that isn't registered. The next step for you would be to use REGMON to try and determine what COM object it is trying to create that it can't find. If you post the GUID back to the newsgroup I can use that to look up the COM object and figure out what DLL needs to be registered. I remember seeing a similar issue in v1 where it was atl.dll that wasn't registered propperly. You might try "regsvr32 c:\windows\system32 \atl.dll" and "regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\atl71.dll". If that fixes the problem good. Otherwise you'll have to find the GUID using REGMON or some other tool.

Hey Alan... thanks for you help... looks like the firmware was the issue...kept on thinking it had to do with the PC since the PC can see the xbox.. but guess you gotta look at everything... > Not necessarily.
