Please log in for more thread options If you logon to the Media Center PC as a non admin/non-domain user can you
access the shared folders as this user?
Is there a user acount named MCX1 on the 2003 server? If so please remove
it.

>> The easiest way to share media with the Xbox 360 is to do the following:
>> At the 2003 Server of the SME Server
>> 1. Share out the folders that have the media content.
>> 2. Allow the everyone group rights to this shared folder.
>> 3. Enabled the guest account
>> 4. configure the firewall to allow file and print sharing.
>>
>> At the Xbox 360, Using the Xbox 360 Controller
>> 1.. Make sure Windows Media Center is running.
>> 2.. On the Xbox 360 controller, press the Start button and then select
>> either My Music, My Pictures, or My Videos.
>> 3.. Press the X button ? on the controller.
>> 4.. Select Add Music, Add Pictures, or Add Video and then press the A
>> button on the controller.
>> 5.. Follow the steps on screen to add additional content.
>> Note: Once you add additional media locations, the names or titles of the
>> media may not display on the console for a few minutes. During this time,
>> you can continue to use Windows Media Center on the Xbox 360 console.
>>
>> If you would prefer not to use the guest account then we recommend using
