I don't know how I found it but I managed to arrange it. well I know how and i'm gonna tell you.

Go on the map of the network and you will find your PC...not the extender but the pc you are using.

right click on it and click on manage

computer management comes up
click on Services and Applications
than on Services
a list comes up where you will find UPNP devise Host.
click on it and click on restart. Than everything took care of itself!!!

I'm so happy. If you need help just ask. Hope iut solves ur problem too. Let me know coz i'm excited i managed to solve it on my own :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I have had the same problem for a year or so now. Using this information, I finally got my Media Extender back!
Now, I have a question. How can I get my Xbox to recognize my PC again? I used to skip the Media Extender thing a long time ago. I was able to play my music, look at my pics and videos straight from my PC. That quit working about six months before my Extender went down. Any suggestions about this?

I had the same problem. I figured it out.
Go to the network and sharing center>
Click on view status>
Bottom left click properties>
Click continue when windows asks for permission>
Click the sharing tab at the top>
make sure to UNcheck Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection.
That fixed mine hope it helps you. I spent 2 days changing things around on my laptop to no avail. unchecked that one box and it popped up saying extender found.


Yeah Im having trouble doing these steps. I got to network and sharing but I cant
find the view status> properties. Wondering If you can help Me out with that Matt?
