cannot connect xbox 360 to home premium

Hi,

I have an xbox 360 and a brand new laptop running vista home premium. I have
been trying for several days to connect the xbox 360 as an extender for
windows media center.

It runs into problems at the last step - connecting to extender ... the xbox
360 connects and then displays" Xbox 360 has been disconnected because an
application has launched UI unexpectedly. Would you like to reconnect?"

I was running Trendmicro Internet Security 2007 but I uninstalled this,
re-ran the setup process and same problem. I have tried both wired and
wireless connections of the laptop to my Dlink G604T modem/router, which is
connected via ethernet to the Xbox 360. Everything else works fine on the
network.

I found similar people in this discussion group having the same problem with
vista premium and xbox 360 but no solutions for home premium.

Any help would be much appreciated - I find it disappointing that I cannot
connect my MS Vista computer to my MS xbox 360....

Thanks in advance,

An unauthorized window was detected while running the Windows Media Center
Experience, 'ATKOSD2', with file name ''.

Be sure to follow the Media Center setup instructions at
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...01033.mspx#EYG.
Part of this process configures the firewall to allow the XBox ports. I got
my XBox 360 connected to my Vista Home Premium with no problems.

Thanks lawsce,

Yes, I have tried this both by following instructions for configuring ports
for the Trendmicro firewall originally, and then the Windows firewall after
uninstalling Trendmicro - still the problem remains.

It seems to link for a few seconds before disconnecting as the Tv connected
to the Xbox 360 displays windows media center before defaulting to the error
message...
