Step 1
Go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup where you can download the newest software update for Windows Media Center for your personal computer.
-
Step 2
Connect your console to your PC. There are multiple ways of doing this. You can connect an Ethernet cable directly from the Xbox 360 to the computer if you do not need to connect to Xbox Live and require no Internet connection for your console. If you also want Internet functionality on the Xbox 360 you can directly connect to a modem or router with an Ethernet cable or you can buy a wireless network adapter to pick up a wireless signal from the router.
Set up your system following the modem or router instructions so that the computer and Xbox 360 console are both connected to the network and can share information. -
Step 3
Adjust network settings if desired. The console can connect to an 802.11g or an 802.11a router, but optimal performance is obtained with the 802.11a version. That is because other wireless devices like desktop and laptop computers usually connect with the 802.11g network and therefore can slow down the speed of transmission. You can adjust these settings by going into the router setup software on your PC. Consult the manual that came with your router for more information.
