Cannot find extender xbox 360 norton

Xbox live works great, so I am connecting to the internet just fine. I just don't think I need to set it up special behind a router. I did try to hook up Xbox directly bypassing the router--and wired , but that was giving me other problems that I didn't want to tackle. The Xbox couldn't even recognize the PC.

I can also access some media folders as well to play my music library, but just not through media center. I love the media center interface I did read this: The correct ports cannot be opened. This issue occurs when you have turned off Windows Firewall on the computer.

I have another media center extender that used to work fine The Xbox is a wired connection, the other extender is a wireless connection. I am running Norton v. I don't have service pack 3 installed, would that make a difference?

I heard there were problems with media center and service Pack 3 so I didnt want to mess with my settings on an old computer. I keep getting a firewall error and Windows firewall is turned OFF. I can't even turn it back on The Xbox might not be named as such in the Network Security Map - it may show as an unidentified device.
