    I'm not even sure if my router has a firewall. I would think that it would. However, I have no idea how to disable it.

      did you have to try to open up any ports or anything on your router??

      also in your services.msc is your logon for the Upnp set to the username NT AUTHORITY\LocalService and then the password or do you have it as a local system account?? I allowed Upnp on my router but I still can't get my 360 to connect to the PC.. I know I have to have a username and password to get into my computer from my wireless laptop, so I am not sure if that is affecting it or what...

        You don't want to disable the firewall in your router. The Windows firewall however, is a POS.

          I know I'm late with this, but here's my 360 setup.
