Okay, so I've got a doosie here.
I've set up Internet Sharing from my Mac to my PC and an IP phone (for work). I have the Mac connected wirelessly to my router, and I have a 4-port switch connected via ethernet to my Mac. The PC and phone are connected to the switch and can both get online and work fine.
Now, my xbox is in the other room, directly connected via ethernet to the wireless router and it can also get online. However, when I try to connect my Xbox to Windows Media Center, it can't find it. When the PC was hardwired directly to the router it could find it just fine. The PC can't ping the xbox, but it can ping the wireless router. Any ideas?
Just to clarify:
Cable input -> modem -> wireless router -> xbox (ethernet)
______________________ wireless router -> Mac Snow Leopard (wireless) -> switch -> Windows 7 PC and IP phone
Everything can get online and browse just fine, PC can get on the internet, phone gets a dialtone and can make calls, xbox can get on live. The only problem is getting the PC and Xbox to see each other.
