all goes well in the setup process and i enter the 8 digit code , it then detects and ticks the first 2 options but when it gets to configuring the media extender option , the circle spins and eventually i get

ERROR COULDNT CONNECT TO ?? whatever it says the exact words escape me now but basicaly it refuses to connect

its driving me nuts , what am i missing
OK,

Hade exactly the same prob. 360 would connect to Live without probs, but VMC/360 wouldnt see each other.

Had the wired network going thru a couple of gigabit TP-Link switches, and some 10/100 switch.

bypassed the TP Link switches, was detected no probs.

Ended up changing the main 8-port gig switch for a Netgear GS608 one, left the other out, and all works OK.

It is MOST LIKELY a switch/router problem.
