    Try turning off your firewall or at least lower the level of it.

    I believe the 360 only links up with XP Media Center Edition and Vista. I don't think it will work on XP Home or Professional.

    It works with XP there is a setup tool on the xbox site that will setup the pc for ya. I found that I had to uninstall my firewall altogether as when i turned it off it still was blocking it.

    Thanks Guys,
    i will try the firewall and let you know if it worked, altough seems a bit drastic if you have to remove your firewall.:(

    Get a cross-over cable and link the console and pc directly. You'll have to manually configure the network settings.
