Windows 8 <-> XBox 360 Help...

Trying to connect my music media from my Win 8 computer (no comments...I know..I know...) to my XBox 360. The XBox media player will see my laptop, but when I select it to play music, it fails and says "Can't connect to the PC. A firewall may be blocking the connection"

In Media Player on laptop, I have XBox selected as an allowed device.

Is this just more Microsoft suck-ass software? Or am I missing some very hidden software switch somewhere?

Give this a try.

These dummies.com instructions instructed me to go to a menu that doesn't exist on my XBox....grrrr.....

When was the last time you put a new game in the xBox? It might be that you're running an older version of the firmware that all new games auto update. Which would account for the missing menu.

It updated something just the other day. Thing is my XP PC is connencted fine - it's only this *#&^@$@ Windows 8 p.o.s.

Found this. Give it a try.

"Just so that we at least rule out some troubleshooting steps.
First, make sure that your media files are included in the Libraries (so you music should be in the music library, videos in videos, etc..)
Open up File Explorer, right click on Homegroup on the left hand side and click "Share with devices".
Make sure that the Xbox 360 appears in the list and that there is a checkmark says it is an "Allowed" device. Press next, and check that your libraries are set as "shared". Then you can press next and finish.
If the Xbox doesn't show up on the list, turn it on and try the steps again.
Note that the sharing may take a minute or two to be completed, just turn off the Xbox and turn it on after a few minutes (this last step might not be necessary, but I'm adding just in case)"

exo-planets

We apparently have endless possibilities for planets to appear, in completely different climates and such... Does that mean endless possibilities for, for example, life, out there in the universe? So everything that is chemically and physically possible almost certainly happens somewhere right?

Hey guys, I'm not kidding

I need subs for the Masters. So far, all subs have been top 100 GR, and I'd like to keep it that way if possible (but please if you're interested don't let GR stop you from telling me). I need two more at least.

A cheap, reliable game

I've had a few too many games ruined by cheaters and CDs. I've created a anonymous game with a 25-point buy in that is pass-worded. If you're interested in playing, please reply and I'll PM you a password. I'd prefer it if you've completed (at least) 5 games, but I'll send the password to anyone who's not brand-new and has never "left" a game.
