Title: XBox Console Help Please
Post by: fairway2000 on May 20, 2007, 10:28:12 pm: Hello

I had a little XBox network going at the house. My son just got a 360. Can they network with my other Xbox's?
If not I will have 3 XBox consoles for sale. One is off my boat and has not been used very much. One has has a mod kit.

Thanks for any help

Pete

I haven't tried to network my 360 at all, but from what I've read, it will only stream/connect with PCs running XP Media Center and possibly Vista. There are also a few other programs that unofficially allow you to stream, but I can't remember the names off hand (tversity maybe??)

Basically, the original Xbox is much more useful as a networked media device than a 360 (for now). Is that what you are trying to do? You have a pretty vague description of "networking" them together. What exactly are you aiming for?

I might be wrong. I don't have an xbox though, so I'm not sure it supports this.
