Remus/Smokey... or anybody

Larkin told me today that his laptop suddenly displayed a message that an xbox360 had been found on his network and would he like to connect to it.

Why doesn't that happen on mine?

I haven't done too much research on connecting my 360 to the network so.... any idea?

 

[SmokeyVol]

Never seen that message before?!?!?

Is he running Vista?

Is he running Vista?

I don't believe so.

 

[SmokeyVol]

Vista and the 360 is a lot better marriage. In a couple weeks I'm upgrading one of mine to Vista.

I was about to mention... do you have MCE on your computer?

 

[Freak]

nope and I don't think he does either but maybe he does and I just don't know it.

The second part of the statement is most likely.

I actually connected my 360 to my computer the other day. It was kind of cool, you can watch videos and view pictures and listen to music that you have on your computer on your TV through the 360. it was very easy to do, and I wasn't even aware of the feature until that same message appeared on my laptop. I don't have Windows Live Messenger, but if you use that apparently you can connect to it through your 360 as well. The only drawback is that I was wanting to listen to music I had on my computer while playing a game, but I couldn't get that part to work.

I dont think you even have to be conected to the computer to use WLM. I dont have it so im not real sure about that.

You can connect the computer to the XBox 360 wirelessly and transfer data... Although it stopped working on mine and I don't know why.
