I have successfully been using my XBox 360 as a media center extender for
some time now. For some reason however I am unable to play back music from my
PC within the XBox dashboard - I have to go to media center to do it.

When I try to play music in the dashboard I get the message "Can't connect.
Make sure you have activated this console on your computer."

I am running Vista with a Onecare firewall. I have tried opening ports and
disabling the firewall altogether but this does not seem to make a difference.

Can anyone help?
