XBOX & Vista media centre setup issue

HI all

I've just build myself a new Vista media box last weekend, Media centre is up and running with the new Hauppauge HVR-2200 which is great. I have a Xbox 360 in our theare which I had working as an extender on our old 2005 MCE. My issue is now trying to setup the new VMC on the xbox once i enter in the 8-digit passkey it gets to the point of looking for the extender then fail as its unable to find it. So far here is what I have done:

* I have removed all relations to the old MCE box which is off anyway
* Gone through the inital setup on the xbox again
* Ensured both Xbox and Vista is up to date
* Tried with firewall off & ensured appropriate box is ticked to allow media connections
* Both comptuers are connected via ethernet and correct IP addres have been assigned

The strange thing is that under network computers on vista I am able to see the XBOX and i tried the setup in WMP 11 which worked but then i went to browe media files on the xbox i was unable to connect.

Any help would be great i've wasted way to much time trying to get this to work
