    from what i have read as long as you have a network created on your computer it should,give access to all devices.....because i use my xbox and computer to share files and stream files as well and as long as you have a network on your computer you should be able to do that....turn off your windows firewall...

    not neccessarily, it might not give all access if you hava another firewall, its true windows firewall is a pain in the a** but still if you do not have another firewall I highly recommend you don't turn it off.
