If the two machines are connected to the same network, you will see a Windows Media Center Extender dialog appear in Media Center.

I tried turning off the firewall completely and I get a different error message through the media center extender setup- "Setup was unable to find your Extender on the network" I do not understand this because I have the connected to my router with a wired ethernet connection.
I can access Xbox live so I know the is able to connect to the router and through that to the internet. The also shows up when I look at my network map on my computer. I have searched the help forums for Windows, and for Xbox but was unable to find the answer. I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I restarted the xbox and after a few attempts it started working.
Tuesday, May 5, PM. I wish that I could say that I had the same fix. I have had the same issues - using a 1st or 2nd gen xbox with current hardware on a dedicated win 7 machine. I'm going to try and reduce the packet size to see if that helps. In other words, turn off jumbo packets since I'm not in a big hurry to save bandwidth on a gigabit ethernet Never had this issue with Vista, the one I did off topic I know was usually problems with TV pack and Playsforsure, etc.
I can't think of why streaming is so terrible, my guess is that the system is 'dumbed down' to put a lot of buffer in between points to avoid people complaining about streaming not working. A little overkill, it seems. Sunday, May 31, AM. I am suffering from the same problem. I had trouble free wireless streaming with Vista, and now I get random disconnects and very slow performance.
It is unusable in its current state. I really hope this gets sorted. Friday, July 17, AM. Has anyone tried Win7 RTM? Has this issue been addressed? Sunday, August 2, AM. Since my last posting on this, I had some other issues to handle so I removed all traces of the XBOX as an extender from my Win7 client, and Xbox settings as well. After a few restarts, and attempted connections to set this back up, something in the background changed.
Using my xbox as an extender now pretty much 'just works' as promised. I did try to go to more of the 'default' setting on my network adapter, and let Win7 troubleshoot my network.
Overall, my suggestion at this point is to go ahead and emulate what I did, since it seemed to work. I will warn you though, that it took a few tries to get the extender to reconnect. When it did - 'viola' the problem was gone. Now if we could get it to stop having to sign into XBOX live to work, that would be bliss. Grrr - gamers!!!

Sunday, August 9, AM. I would suggest giving my previous post a shot. Good luck. Tuesday, August 11, PM. I found this reg tweak when having a totally unrelated issue with remote desktop to a R2 server box where it would lock up for 10 seconds at a time every seconds, and it fixed it.
It stopped the stuttering in my situation. I doubt it will address everyones issue that is having some connectivity and bandwidth issues with meda center and extenders, but it is a simple test that takes 5 minutes to try. My current issue right now is I have been trying to do something sort of unconventional, and run Virtual Server R2 on my Windows Home Server, and I installed Windows 7 as a virtual machine which my extender would connect to.
This makes the 3 device scenario for a windows home server setup only a 2 device scenario WHS has no built in media center capabilities since I have 2 xbox s and 2 TVs in my house, I didn't want to have to also always make sure my main PC is powered on to service the extenders. This all works rather well, and since the Win7 virtual machine is only tasked with servicing the extenders, I am able to turn off many of the services and themes and whatnot to consume less ram and CPU cycles.
However I get the stuttering when playing back video to my extender and I am still working to figure this one out. The registry tweak didn't help this time, and all other things I have found have not helped. Monday, August 17, PM. I had the same issue as everyone else.
