My 360 FINALLY Sees my Laptop, Woo Hoo!

I finally got it to work.  It has been driving me crazy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong to not allow my 360 to see my laptop and vice versa.  Granted my laptop is not the greatest, but I am running XP SP 2 with the new Media Player 11 so I was looking forward to sharing files.  I found a great thread (I am not sure why I never looked there to begin with) at the Xbox forums that helped me make it work.  Long story short, I did not have some services set to start by themselves and a couple of them were flat out disabled probably due to default security.  Anyhow, I figured I would share because I bet I am not the only one that was beating my head against a wall.   Streaming music, videos and now picture slideshows to my 360…sweet.
