Trying to configure mcafee firewall to stream music from laptop (vista) to xbox 360.

So far I have found that turning off the firewall completely allows me to stream music ok. However I don't want to have to do this each time I use my xbox. Also I don't want to set up media centre on my xbox. I just want to stream music on the simple player found on the menu when pressing the guide button.
Referring to those guides:
I have allowed all services on Mcafee except:
Mcrdsvc.exe
Mcxnettw.exe
I cannot find these on my computer!
I have looked in the c/windows/ehome folder as suggested but they are not there.
The other guide suggests some different applications - system is the only one I can't find (it doesn't mean anything to me). I have tried entering the ports into the firewall configuration to no avail.
Please help!
Using:
Windows Vista Home Premium
Mcafee Security Centre v 9.15
with Mcafee Personal Firewall 10.15

Welcome to Microsoft Answers.
Looks like MacAfee is blocking Xbox 360, since you are able to use when it is turned OFF.
So I would suggest you to contact MacAfee for more information.
Also check the link “Which ports are required to be open for Xbox LIVE on your router or firewall’ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874
