Is there a way to connect the XBOX360 DIRECTLY to WHS? All the PC’s in my home are laptops and I would like the ability to connect my 360 to my WHS without having it go through another PC. Am I missing something or is this not possible yet?

Hi
I was stupid enough to upgrade to the last xbox version. I can’t see the home server. or any PC. The MAC adress to XBOX are added to the home server too.

Notning to see on the network. Xbox live are ok.

The biggest use of being able to connect my XBox 360 to Windows Home Server would be to play games, so avoiding the scratching of discs by my kids!

However, this article does seem to cover this capability. So, is this even possible?

I am doing this at home as well and it works fantastic. I have been streaming video, music and photos previously through my Media Center machine, but now I can finally have all the file sin one central location, all backed up, and all working seamlessly.

Now if only MS would get to allowing more codecs as Dave pointed out in the other comment.

I put some other Windows Home Server info together, here http://www.squidoo.com/windows-home-server-info which may help other people decide if this is the right solution for them.

Great article,

I have have set this up at the house and it truly works well. The only difficultly I found was that the 360 doesn’t support all the codecs that a PC normally does and it isn’t just a quick download to fix the problem. If you are having issues with certain video playing you might want to check this faq: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/digitalmedia/videoplaybackfaq.htm
