    My xbox can no longer find my PC...


    I used to be able to stream music, videos, and pictures to my xbox from my pc. Now I can't. I don't know what happened.

    Windows Media Player has my xbox on the "allowed" list.

    My xbox is connected to the network with a ethernet cord and my pc with wireless.

    Hi Grubish360,

    Did you perform a Windows Update recently that may have caused this? If so, try doing a system restore to before that update: System Restore

    Great news! I did a clean install of Windows 7, (It was just an upgrade before), and now everything works fine. My xbox can connect, my zune can wirelessly sync, and 64 bit programs, are in the "program files" folder and not "program fiels x86" folder.
