Hopefully this question hasn't been addressed previously, and if it has, I
apologize for the redundancy.
I just received my new HP laptop running Vista Home Premium and I'm looking
to connect it to my 360 elite. After running through the set up multiple
times (making sure to allow extenders through the windows firewall and making
sure the norton firewall was off) I am continuously informed by the xbox that
the connection to the media center PC failed. Further, when I test the
connection to the extender on my pc, I'm told that there is little to no
signal. I checked the connection to the network on both the xbox and the pc,
and both seem okay. At this point, I'm pretty sure there must be an obscure
(to me, at least) setting on the PC that is not allowing the two devices to
communicate. If anyone has any insight about this, I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance.

After thinking about it further, are there certain wireless router settings
that I need to change in order to allow the xbox to connect to my media
center PC? The router is a standard linksys wireless-g type. Thanks.

The laptop does have a fingerprint reader. I haven't tried to uninstall
Norton yet, so if you think that would be a good idea, I'll try that tonight.
The router is a Linksys WRT54G with v.8 firmware. The SSID is being
broadcast, and the security is WPA.
