I've had a modded xbox for 3 years now and have loved every bit of it.
I recently got a new laptop with vista.
For some sad reason i can't seem to communicate my computer with my xbox like i did with my old xp laptop.
is there a way around this?

yes, i used to just open up my network connections on my computer and my xbox would appear right there. i could just open it up and transfer files and what not.
now that i have vista my computer won't recognize it.

I run vista with xbmc on my xbox and if thay are on the same network it should auto detect your xbox so you can use an ez smb share.
