I have just downloaded Windows Media connect 2 with Windows Media Player 11 and cannot get it to work on my xbox360 . The 360 is picking up my laptop but not my pc which is connected through ethernet . Live works fine, the media connection has been working in the past but all of a sudden stopped . I have every single port needed to be opened opened. Ive turned off all firewalls and that didnt even work . Ive setup up Connect to allow the 360 still nothing...Anyone have any ideas?

Media Connect 2 is no longer needed since Media Player 11 hit the mainstream, but I would suggest going to in WMP11:

Tools->Options->Library->Configure Sharing->

And then tick "Share my Media."
Your PC should find your box, after it sets your settings to share.

That worked for me, so just giving you my help.
Oh, and check your firewall and make sure its letting you share.
