Finally managed to connect my Xbox 360 to Acer PC using a the Media Center Extender (MCE) in Vista. You have to let MCE bypass the firewall. I'm using Norton's firewall and you have to do the settings from Norton's Protection Center.
The problem is that with wireless network access, the response time of the Xbox 360 is slow. Movie playback is sometimes choppy and you CANNOT playback AVI and DIVX files through the MCE without some tedious setup that can be found on the net.
The funny thing is that you can playback AVI and Divx files from your usb thumbdrive and from a DVD inserted into the xbox 360 itself. Not sure why Microsoft did not enable this on MCE, shouldn't be too difficult.
