Yep. Kind of a love/hate game for me, sold it a little while ago.

I need a little help from anyone who owns an xbox 360 and uses live through a network (either wireless or wired). If you can PM me I would appreciate it.

Basically what I am trying to do is this:

I have two PC's, one desktop and one laptop. The laptop is on my wireless network and was connected to my xbox 360. However, because I kept downloading stuff onto my laptop HDD it was taking up a lot of space and so I'd like to actually connect my desktop (which has it's own HDD as well as an External attached to it) so I can use that to stream my music, movies, pics, etc. to my xbox.

The problem: My xbox only picks up my laptop through the wireless network and not my desktop. I have a cable modem connected to a linksys wireless router. The router is wired to the desktop through the port and the laptop just picks it up wirelessly. I am no good with computer networking and am looking for some help or advice on how to set this up.

My desktop is in a completely different room than my xbox which is in the living room with my big tv and surround so I can't just connect the desktop to the xbox through a wired connection (it would require too much wire and be a mess, plus I live in a condo and that's no an option to have a wire exposed).

I hope that made sense. If it didn't please let me know. Thanks for any help anyone has.

I have my Xbox live connected to my router wirelessly. I'm not in front of it right now, i'm not sure how they changed it with the NXE switch, but there used to be a connections section in the networking area. Just select your router when it pops up on available networks, input your password if you have one, and go.
