That could mean the Vista network driver for your hardware is defective.

You also said your hardware was working until you upgraded to Windows Vista. That means that although the network API called by the transport is reporting success, the message is either not getting off your computer, or your router is not forwarding it. You are in the first case, where the console does not get the UDP message.

If the console gets a valid message and responds, and the computer receives it, and the computer is unable to establish a TCP connection, the console will display a message about a timeout while waiting for a TCP connection, and the computer status will show that it received a response from the console, but failed to establish a connection.

If the console gets a valid message and responds, but the computer doesn't receive it, the console will display a message about a timeout while waiting for a TCP connection, and the computer status will show that it did not receive a response.

If the console gets an invalid UDP message (mistyped connection key), the console will display a message about an invalid request.

If the console does not get the UDP message, then it just keeps waiting.

When the computer receives this reply, the computer connects to the console via TCP. If the console receives a UDP packet with the right connection key, then the console will respond, also via UDP broadcast, to identify itself. Broadcast messages are sent to every node on the network. The computer broadcasts a UDPВ message to look for the corresponding console. In your case, there is no additional diagnostic information we could give you. I've seen your posts on the Creators Club Online forum. It can make a difference, even if media sharing is working for you.

In addition, copy and paste any diagnostic information displayed in the Add Xbox 360 dialog's status box.ДЄs always, if you are using a wireless connection then you should try using a wired connection to see if it makes a difference. If you get an error message on the console, then please write it down and tell us what it is. If you don't see that on the console, then your network is not configured properly - either your firewall is blocking the UDP broadcasts, or the console is not on the same subnet, or your router/hub is not forwarding the UDP broadcast packets. If you get the key wrong, there will beВ a message displayed on the console (for about 30 seconds) to say that it received an invalid connection request. The XNA GSE v1.0 Refresh includes a 'Test Connection' button in the dialog where you enter the key. When you say you have the 'latest version,' do you mean the one that came out yesterday? If not, you should get it.
