I've been trying to connect to xbox live, or at the very least, to connect my xbox to my PC, but for some reason my xbox knows there is a pc there, but will not connect to it, and sure as heck won't use it's internet. I've tried EVERYTHING, but I cannot get this to work. It is not the ethernet cable I am using, either, I have tried out several different cables. My computer also realizes that there is a LAN network available, but wont stop the "Identifying" phase. Anyone have anything that might work? Microsoft is not very helpful...

Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Advanced Settings > Media Streaming > Choose Media Streaming Options > Select your Xbox > Make sure it's set to allowed and click "customize" > Tick Make all the media available on this device.

Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Advanced Settings > Make sure Network Discovery is enabled.

Also make sure the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service is started and set to automatic (delayed). Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Look for it on the list.

That's just off the top of my head, let me know if it worked.
