ive had a 360 for a while now and ive only thought about connecting the 360 to my comp now and how do i do it? can it connect through the ethernet cord (my 360 is connected to xbox live) cause when i did a Windows xp Xbox connection check it said its not connected and i need to download something called Windows Media center or some s***...

and can i transfer movies from my comp to my 360 or just music and photos?

If you got Windows Media Center (most don't), you can stream it all.

If you got Windows XP Service Pack 2 (like me), you can stream music and pics (no videos). To be able to do this, go to http://xbox.com/pcsetup and download the program. Follow directions on your 360 and/or media connect program and try to do the rest.

Oh yea you know what's badass? You can use pics from your pc as the dashboard theme for your 360! Love that

You could if you want, but (have nooo idea how valid this is) I heard a rumor that in a future update M$ will allow those with XP to stream video as well. I'm skeptical, but I can dream right?

Tell me if you can get everything going right dude

Yea if you want everything to be connected you need to buy a router/switch/hub... look online for some. I got a Linksys, works.
