[SOLVED] Media Sharing From PC to Xbox 360

Hi, I'm trying to use WMP 11 to get my music from my PC onto my Xbox 360 (I'm running Vista). When I go to the library tab and select media sharing, the two checkboxes are grayed out, and I can't click them. So I went to the networking button to try to enable media sharing because apparently my network settings aren't right for media sharing. So I see that the Media sharing option is off, and when I click it, the only option is a button that says "Change...". But when I click that, it brings me back to the media sharing dialogue box I got in WMP (with the 2 grayed out boxes). Which brings me here, can anyone help me out?

Re: Media Sharing From PC to Xbox 360

Hi cfs525..

you probably just need to set your firewall up to allow media sharing...try temporarily disabling the firewall to see if that unlocks the media sharing settings.

Hope that helps
