Windows Media Center freezes on Xbox 360

Please help.

For a couple of days now, when I turn on WMC on my xbox 360, I go to recorded tv and when I try to select a show to wach, WMC freezes. I can not move. I can push the center button which will let me back out.

I log back in to WMC and I get the following error message: Connection Failure. The xbox 360 could not connect to the WMC PC. Turn your xbox 360 off then on again, then try to connect again. I do exactly that and WMC freezes again. I try to go to movies
or another section of WMC. I can make a few moves, but it eventually freezes again.

On my pc in WMC, under extensions there is a image of my xbox 360, but there is a large yellow triangle with an exclamation point in the center. There is a message that says "Set up but not available"

WMC is working fine on the PC and I am able to watch my recorded shows, no problem.

I have not made any changes to my PC or my network. The pc is connected directly to my xbox, not through a router. I have tuned the network in the 360. All connections are working and fine.

I have removed and added the xbox 360 extender several times. I have reformatted the Xbox 360 hard drive. I am this close to reformatting my PC, but I would like to avoid that if I can.

Please help me to fix this problem and I will be eternally greatfull.

Thanks
