When trying to connect my PC to my Xbox 360 with XNA Game Studio Device Center, I enter my key, click next and get an unhandled exception box saying:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

The wizard shows "Unable to connect to your Xbox 360 console

Here are a few things to try as well as troubleshooting information" and a blank box for things to try. The additional help is not helpful.

I am on a wired connection, my PC and 360 are on the same subnet on the same hub. I am running Vista Ultimate 32-bit with VS2008 Pro installed as well. I have of course tried restarting my 360 and PC to no avail. Disabling the firewall makes no difference.

Any ideas? Please help. Thanks.
