Sharing files with the 360
I am trying to share my media files with an Xbox 360 through Vista, but it is asking me to make my network private. I cannot figure out how to make file sharing private in Vista. It is asking me to set it up on a private network so I can activate the media sharing.

Any advice?

Click on the network icon, in the system tray

Select Network and Sharing Center

Click Customize, in the middle

Change location type to private

Making it Stick
As above, whenever connected VISTA takes 360 as a public network.
To enable media sharing I must change to private network.
I'm fine with this but whenever I re-connect I have to change to private network again.

Can the change be made permanent? I have tries firewall exeptions to public network but still same.

Help appreciated.

Partially solved!
Fix method above must be applied each time the XBox 360 is connected....
