Can't Share Media with Xbox 360

[imported_TopCat]

I'm trying to share my library with my 360 via WMP 11 beta 2. Once I try and stream music with the 360 it'll see my computer and try and connect afterwards, but it always fails, and it fails the PC media test if I run it afterwards. I'm fairly certain some people have gotten WMP to share with their 360s, so I don't think it's a broken functionality problem. Both are connected to the network and have static IPs on a Linksys router. Windows Firewall is disabled, as well. Does anyone have any experience or insight with sharing via this method?

As a sidenote, it fails in Vista RC1 as well, but using Media Center in Vista works just fine, so there aren't any communication problems between the devices.

Ive gotten it to work with WMP 11 beta 2 for the record, although i cant really tell you whats the problem. Does WMP see the 360 in the media sharing options?

Yeah, it sees the 360 and I've set it to allow media sharing. The 360 also sees my PC when it searches for something to connect to, then it fails when actually trying to connect. The error message isn't helpful since it just says that "a firewall may be preventing connectivity" or something like that. Of course, both devices are behind the router's firewall and windows firewall is turned off, so it seems like the 360 just isn't seeing the share for some reason.

[EDIT]
Nevermind, I figured it out. The media share requires UPnP and SSDP discovery to be enabled. This makes sense to me.
