Configuring Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall is automatically configured to enable your Media
Center Extender to connect to your Windows Vista-based Computer
using Windows Media Center during setup. However, if the settings
are changed after setup has completed, connectivity between your
Media Center Extender and your Windows Vista-based Computer will be
disrupted.
To manually configure or verify the configuration of Windows Firewall
1. Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then click Security.
2. Under Windows Firewall, click Allow a program through Windows
Firewall. Because this task requires Administrator rights, you will see
a User Account Control dialog box.
3. On the Exceptions tab, scroll down the list and locate the entry for
Media Center Extenders. Select the check box next to this entry, if it
is not already enabled, and click Apply.
4. Click the General tab, and make sure that the Block all incoming
connections option is not selected.
Configuring Windows Live OneCare
Windows Live OneCare needs to be configured to enable your Windows
Media Center Extender to connect to your Windows Vista-based
Computer.
