Got the WMP 11 setup with "SHARING MEDIA" on XP and can see the XBOX 360 there but the XBOX doesnt seem to recognise the PC! Both are on a the same wireless network connection and seem to work happily! Went thro all the HELP tips on the XBOX and on the website but still comes up PC FAILED when testing the connection..HELP PLS

I think you need to be using a wired connection to share media with your PC.

Well actually you dont... sussed it last night... You have to setup an Internet Gateway... easy enough to do and you dont have to take a copy to connect the XBOX! The Pictures on the HDef on the slideshow are fantastic! Funny thing this wasnt explained on the HELP TIPS! Drag and drop the pictures/music into the SHARED DOUCUMENTS and voila!

Would be great if you could play ur videos aswell! Multimedia is best shared wireless

You could just add music to wmp library then you don't need to do the shared docs.

What do you mean by play videos as well?

Only if it's format like mkv the 360 now supports other formats like xvid.
