extender won't work on my xbox (not the 360, older xbox) Dave 12-24-2006

I have a media center (2005 edition) computer and I purchased the xbox
extender kit about a year ago. I am just now (ha ha) trying to get it to
work. Everything is up to date on my computer (just checked everything
tonight), but my computer will not connect to the xbox (old version, not the
360). I have an xbox live account and it works perfect, so I know I am
successfully connecting to the router. Reading the online help blogs, I
noticed there has been update discs for the xbox itself. I can't find out
how old my disc is, but it has a copyright date of 2004 on it. So I think it
is pretty old. I also can't find anywhere to request an update disc, can you
help me with getting me the latest extender disc or download for my xbox (and
computer to if a newer one is available). I have all of the product key
information from when I purchased the orignal product.

Thanks,

Dave,

Here are a couple of quick thing to consider. First did you run the PC media
center set up on your PC? This needs to be done so that the extender resource
monitor loads on your computer. The second thing is to check your firewall.
Make sure that you have a hole punched through it so that the two machines
can talk. As for the CD you going to need to contact Microsoft for that one.
