Cannot use Media Center on XBox due to Norton Firewall

I understand there are many posts on this topic and believe me, I have read most.

Here is the issue.

I have what is called Norton Security Suite. It is provided through Comcast. This is all the info I have as to what version it is:

 

Product Name: Norton Security Suite

  • Version: 4.3.0.5
  • Serial Number: 123
  • Media SKU: 20999865
  • Current SKU: 20999865
  • Family SKU: 0000000
  • End Point ID: {02a11803-3c57-492d-bb4c-fdc4ff3a5672}
  • OEM Partner Name: 123
  • Vendor Name: Comcast
  • Norton Add-On Pack: 123

    I cannot find ANY support ANYWHERE for this.

    I can play my XBox 360 just fine online. But when I try to stream movies to it, I can only do so by disabling the NSS firewall.

    I am very computer savvy and am surprised at the amount of time I have spent looking through this NSS to find how to make an exception for the XBox.

    As far as I am concerned, or know, there is none.

    I run WinXP SP3 with Win Media Center 11.x

     

    I have tried everything I can think of under the firewall settings, and elsewhere.

    Does anyone have ANY idea how to go about this?

     

    I use a Belkin router. It is not the problem due to the fact the XBox is wide open in it and, again, can play multiplayer online.

    It is definitely the Norton firewall.

     

    I have spent an inordinate amount of time scouring the net for how to fix this. It just seems not many people have the EXACT same setup as I do, trying to do the EXACT same thing.

    If any further system info, etc is needed, I will be more than happy to post.

    Any and all suggestions are welcome.

     

    Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or whatever your cup of tea is,

    Hi Dashodell,

     

    See if this Norton / Comcast KB article helps:

     

    Configuring Norton Security Suite for Xbox

    Computer savvy.... Just dumb in general.

     

    I got it.

     

    I had read that article, but on this Comcast deal the setup is a bit different.

    So, I missed an icon not realizing it was active. Its not listed as anything therefore I ASSUMED it had something to do with the main pc on the network. I just had to go into it and give it Full Trust. On that link it reads:

    "Click the Xbox device name in the network map."

    I was looking for the word XBox. It doesnt say that. Its just an icon that said "device" or something similiar.

    I dont use lol much, but LOL.

     

    I feel like such a goon. Im just gonna blame it on being too busy with the kids at Christmas time :smileywink:  

     

    And SendOfJive, just you posting that link DID make me read it again and try the Network Security Map again.

    Thanks a million!
