To access media files, including video, audio,
and pictures, from a Windows XP– or Vista–
based PC, you need an Ethernet connection
from the Ethernet port on the back of your
Xbox 360 console to your PC. If your PC or
home network is also connected to high-
speed Internet, you can use this connection to
connect to Xbox LIVE. For more information
about home networking options, see "Connect
to Xbox LIVE."
Media sharing software, such as Windows
Media Player, Zune, and Windows Media
Connect, lets you connect your Xbox 360
console to a PC running Windows XP Service
Pack 2 (SP2) or later, Windows Vista, or
Windows Home Server. If you have a Windows
Media Center–based PC (which includes PCs
running Vista Premium or Ultimate), you can
also use it with your connected Xbox 360
console.
Along with normal DVD remote control
functions, the Xbox 360 Universal Media
Remote (sold separately) features a Windows
Media Center button that lets you access a
connected Windows Media Center–based PC.
