Various Topics on Windows Vista

..alewo..

I'm trying to set up my xbox 360 extender, and cannot get it to work.

Here's the setup, my Vista home premium PC is wireless conencted to a
netcomm nb8w modem/router. My xbox 360 is hard wired to the router. The xbox
works fine on the internet (ie live etc) it has a network address, and it
gets the 8 digit setup code.

My PC however does not detect the xbox in the network at all, and when
trying to add an extender through windows media centre, it cannot find it.

The first thing i tried to check was obviously that upnp was allowed in the
windows firewall, but i cannot find the option for it anywhere in the
exceptions list? i remember there used to be a check box for it in XP...

I've read through all the posts on here, and i cannot find any solution to
my problem.

Please help!

Try the xbox forum. You might get a response there.
