Media Streaming on the Xbox 360

July 2nd, 2008 by Mr. Mai Tai

I just bought an Xbox 360. If you are looking for one and want a deal check out your local Sharper Image. They are going out of business and everything is on sale including the Xbox 360. The deal was too good to pass up so I bought one. I hooked it up last night and connected to XBox Live. My handle of course is Mister Mai Tai. Someone already snagedd Mr. Mai Tai so I had to go with the next best thing. Only problem I am having is with the media streaming. I downloaded Windows Media Player 11. I opened it up to file sharing with the Xbox. Problem is the Xbox fails when it looks for the media.  I thought Zone Alarm was blocking it so I shut it down but that didn’t work.  The Xbox suggests I open some ports up but with the free edition of Zone Alarm I don’t think you can open specific ports. If you can open ports I haven’t figured it out yet.  In the meantime if smart readers out there with some tips to get it to connect shoot me a comment.
