Easy I thought ... no so!
it is easy if you have Vista, W7 & W8 but not if you have a dinosaur media system based on xp.
But you can get there in the end.
Follow these steps:
- Read this post on the XBoz site.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-xp/help/windows-media-player/11/stream-xbox.
This should get you up to speed on what you need to do. - Download media Player or Zune (if you can stand the Metro look and feel).
- Start the sharing process as described in the first article.
- Test the connection from the xbox;
- If it fails (as it did for me) check the service "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service".
-Open the task manager. (ctrl+alt+del)
-Go to the Services Tab.
-Click on the Services button and minimize task manager.
-In new Services Window, right click on Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service.
-Select Properties.
-go to Log On tab.
-if Local System Account is not highlighted, then you've most likely found the problem. Select Local System Account radio button, click Apply and OK, then right click on Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service again and select restart service.
