I am one of the (apparently) many that cannot get the 360 to connect with the
XPSP2-PC in the network (the PC 'sees' the 360 alright). A member of the xbox
helpdesk in NL says it is a problem with WMC v2.0. I should downgrade to

I am about to purchase a dlink DSM320. I understand that to use wma drm
