Hello All, I am hoping you can help me with this problem. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64. I am using a Gigabit wired connection through an Apple Time Capsule. I am also using Panda Internet Security 2009. I have searched online for the list of ports that need to be open and opened them. I have even called Panda and had them remotely take over my desktop. The technician there says it works fine at his home with the same set up. He could not offer me an answer. He did note that it was "odd" and a "microsoft problem" that in my network and sharing center that while Network Discovery is set to "on", the option to toggle it on and off is grayed out. There is the note that I could use my firewall program to toggle this on and off, but the Panda tech support said this is not normal. I can share media through wmp11 fine. I test all the connections via the XBOX 360 Elite menu and all is fine. When I try to start the WMC, it is stuck at "contacting." Any suggestions? And yes, I could always turn Panda off, but seeing as how I just paid for a year, I would prefer not to do that, lol.

and if that does not help, perhaps consider replacing Panda with something else. On Wed, 6 May 2009 03:40:27 +0530, DocT wrote: Hello All, I am hoping you can help me with this problem.
