Media center setup

I've tried just about every troubleshooting step on both my pc and my xbox360 on getting the console and pc connected but it is getting me nowhere. Pursuing the setup on my xbox, it can't detect my pc on the network. On my pc, it can't detect an "extender
device" (the xbox) on my network. Both of these devices are on the same network. I know this for a fact because they both use said network to connect to the internet.

It's like two people are standing in the same room and they are both saying there is no one else there. Are both my xbox and pc just that stupid or what?
