NIS 2012 and XBOX Windows Media Center Extender

Hello everybody,

 

I've been searching through the forums trying to find a solution to my problem, but no luck...

 

I have a problem with NIS 2012 and the XBOX Windows Media Center Extender.

Everything connects perfectly, but for some reason once I start playing a movie, after a few minutes the Extender becomes non-responsive. The video will stream until its end, but I am unable to pause, rewind, browse the Media Center Libraries, and so on.

 

Now I am sure the problem is with NIS 2012's Smart Firewall, because once I disable it everything goes great -- no problems whatsoever.

 

I have tried setting my XBOX with Full Trust in the Network Map -- no result.

I have also tried setting "Allow" in Program Control for: eshell.exe, MCRmgr.exe, Ehexhost.exe, and Ehexhost32.exe -- again no change.

 

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and my OS is 100% up-to-date. The same applies for by NIS 2012.

My XBOX is up-to-date as well (if this matters :)).

 

Can someone please help?

 

Thanks!
