    Okay well I'm really stuck, I added them accordingly on my router settings (closed firewall just in case), and when I try to save it on router it says port number already exists but none of them overlap. I'm sure the setting sare correct, apart from IP address which i put .100 in all of them (it has the rest)..

    Ok First post :beer:

    I had the same problem ( I think its a problem with Media Connect more )

    Dont worry there is a solution ...

    The New Version of Windows Media Player ( MP11 ) Supports Media sharing

    The way to do this is to download the newest player HERE

    Next Install and open it .. Go to the library tab ( On the top ) And click the little arrow below it ... "Then click add to library" ( this is important as it gives the 360 something to find ) then add whatever music folders you want into WMP ... Next open" Media Sharing" , Media Player should then automatically detect the 360 on the network ( Make sure the 360 is turned on )

    You will then need to allow it within the menu on WMP

    THEN ...

    Go to the 360 Media Slide > Music > Select Computer the 360 should then automatically find the PC / Laptop and any music that is in the Media Player Library will then be visable on your 360
