Xbox 360 cannot find my computer?

Question

When ever i turn on my xbox my computer reconizes it and ask if i want to connect and it says please input the code found on your screen but there is never any code and when i try to conncect to the computer with the xbox it cannot find the computer i have a dynex router and also i am connected to xbox live through the router i just cannot acess the computer

Answer 1

the code it asks to put in is only for Windows Media Center, and that is just a fancy way of organizing your media and watching TV on your xbox 360, IF you have a TV tuner hooked up to your computer. if you just want to stream music, pictures and videos to your 360 then open Windows Media Player 11 on your computer, and if you dont have it, then upgrade.

click on the little arrow next to the Library tab then go to Media Sharing. now Enable Medai Sharing, and Allow sharing to your xbox 360

hope this helps and gets best answer

PS:you can get the code for the media center if you want, by going to the media tab on the 360, then click on Windows Media Center

Answer 3

if i am not mistaken dynex is not  a supported router.  anyhow, you will need to configure the 360 with the ip address thats not in use. IE: 192.168.1.8

and you will need to input the DNS server(s).  do find that go to your pc and go to start then run, type in CMD and press enter.  This will bring up a DOS prompt screen.  Type in ipconfig and press enter.  just input what you see into your 360 and it should work.  If it still doesnt work you will need to power cycle you modem and router. good luck

EDIT:  I forgot to mention,  your pc needs to have media center if your trying to stream videos and whatnot.  but other then that just follow what i said above and you'll be good to go :)
