Default Connecting 360 to PC

Bit confused, I thought I saw something called PC Connect on Microsofts site but it seems to have dissapeared and been replaced with Media Extender for Media Centre pcs, can I still connect a normal XP pc to the Xbox, all networked up, got the hard disk this morning but not sure how to do it.

Windows Media Connect will let you stream MP3's and Images from an XP PC.

YOu can get most of it thru WMC.....

I have had nothing but trouble trying to do this and still havent connected it,
I get through the IP Addy then it fails on something else.
So i decided to go wireless,bought a speedtouch 576, contacted AOL for help and was told i need the 2mb package to recieve any help.
OK then upgrade me,no we cant your area dont support it .........
Then i lose it


Is there anyone on a wireless network with a 1mb connection ?

Cheers
