    not sure, it would be handy if it could. my setup involves a 500gb NAS and 360 wired to the router and then any of the 4 laptops in the house connected wirelessly. all the laptops are setup to access the NAS and have no problem doing so. to stream media to the 360 requires at least 1 of the laptops to be on so it's streaming via media player. it's concepually complicated but its working so i've not searched for a simpler alternative:

    NAS <wired> router <w/less> laptop (media player) <w/less> router <wired> 360

    simple as you like!

    Does your NAS have an option to enable uPNP sharing if so yes but if it only offers Samba/CIFS when your out of luck unless to use a another computer to connect to the NAS and share the content?

    Edit:

    If you are going to share via a Windows the best program is "TVersity Media Server" it runs as a service so you do not even have to logged into the PC {just has to be powered on and windows loaded} for your XBox to access the streams.
