I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
I am trying to set up Media Sharing so that I can view my files using a
Windows Media Extender (my Xbox 360).
I enabled Media Sharing in Networking And Sharing and it says that it is on.
However, when I check the settings in Windows Media Player 11 (to add folders
to share) I see the window "Sharing Settings" and the machines on my network
including the Xbox 360 are there, and they are allowed, and below that. I see
the message "Sharing is disabled because a network connection was not found.
Check your network connection or settings." But I am connected to the
internet, and I can share files. I can see and pull files and remote desktop
to machines on my network.
I thought it may have been a network location problem. However, when I
checked it in Network and Sharing it says that I am a Private Network. Which
I believe is what it should be for Network Discovery and File Sharing.
I now thought maybe my Windows Fire wall was the culprit, all the necessary
exceptions were on the list for File Sharing and Windows Media Extenders and
Windows Media Center. However, when I click on Windows Firewall (either from
the Network And Sharing window or through Control Panel) the window pops up
and tells me the state of my firewall, and it also lists what Network
Location I am on. This states that I am on a Public Location as opposed to
what Network and Sharing told me a Private location.
I am updated and reformatted and updated again and combed the internet
looking for a solution or even someone experiencing the same problem. Those
with similar problems, didn't have a solution.
Please Help!
