After hours of toiling with my new Windows 7 setup and my Xbox 360, I finally came to the conclusion that the simplest solution, that is typically right under our nose is the one that we should probably try first.
I had been unable to connect my Xbox 360 to my PC (which I had just installed Windows 7 on). I tried adjusting settings in my router, in my firewall, opening ports, changing network sharing settings, etc. and nothing seemed to work. After hours of failure, I simply went back to my Xbox and started over. Literally.
I selected the option so “Setup a new connection”. This basically searches the network for a PC that is running Windows Media Center, which my new Windows 7 RC1 machine is running. Immediately, the Xbox 360 found my PC and displayed the 8 digit code for me to input on my PC to link the two.
The problem was that my Xbox had previously been setup with another computer, so when I turned it on and tried to connect to Windows Media Center after upgrading my operating system, it needed to have a new connection setup.
Such an easy fix. No need to change port numbers or any of that fun stuff. I hope this info will help the others out there who may have a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7.
