It seems that XNA GS 2.0 could not handle the virtual adapters installed on my development system. I deinstalled VMWare and all was fine!

If you want to know what my problem was, read it here.

Yesterday I purchased my XNA membership subscription and installed it for the first time on my Xbox hard drive. I started it up and it gave me a key. I entered this key, together with a name in my XNA Game Studio Device Center and tried to connect and that failed.

I tried several different keys just to make sure I got the whole key right (altough I was reading the key from a 720P screen, I must say the I character is pretty confusing ;) ).

It first says it will be testing the connectivity between the Xbox and my Windows PC, but after that it will prompt the following error message :

Initiated search on the local subnet for your Xbox 360 using the connection key you typed.

No response from your Xbox 360 (depl0yXbox). Please make sure you typed the connection key exactly as it appears on the Xbox 360 console, that the Xbox 360 console is properly connected to your local subnet, and that the Xbox 360 console is waiting for a connection at the “XNA Game Studio Connect” screen.

The machine is on the same network as my Windows PC, the IP’s are ending on .100 and .101. The subnet masks are also the same, I double checked, but they were both served from a DHCP server, so that should never be the problem.

My Windows machine has it’s firewall disabled, and has no other firewall or anti-virus software installed that should get in it’s way.

Also, I have installed XNA 2.0 for Visual Studio 2005 Professional. My VS 2005 is running with SP1.
Next to VS 2005 SP1, I also have Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite running on this PC.
My PC is running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 in the English language.
I tried connecting using wireless and also through a cabled network but that didn’t work either.

There are some rumours (well not really rumours anymore, because they are confirmed by MS), that once you install XNA on the harddrive of your Xbox, you cannot use XNA from your harddrive on another Xbox. The harddrive on my Xbox360 is from my original ‘bought at launch’ Xbox360. My Xbox has been replaced once and after it was replaced, I also sold it without the harddrive.

I got a new Xbox and attached my old harddrive to this Xbox, without formatting it on my new Xbox. However I did only install XNA GSC on this Xbox yesterday and that was for the first time ever on this harddrive.

I wonder if I am the only one with this problem… anyone out there also got this problem?
