    I've followed the directions from the thread : http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2589695&SiteID=2 as best I could, but I still can't get my Zune 80 to wirelessly sync with the OneCare firewall enabled.

     

    As soon as I disable the OneCare firewall the Zune is able to wirelessly sync with this PC.

     

    Here are my settings & info

     

    OS - Vista Ultimate 64 bit Service Pack 1.

    Zune Software (64 bit install) version: 2.3.1338.0

    Zune Firmware version: 2.3 (1145)

    OneCare version: 2.0.2500.22

     

    From the "Configure Firewall" dialog (Change settings - Firewall tab - Configure Firewall button)

     

    Network Discovery - on for Home and Work networks

    File and Printer Sharing  - on for Home and Work networks

    Media Center Extender  - on for Home and Work networks

    Streaming Media  - on for Home and Work networks

    VPN - off

    ICS - off

    Remote Assistance - off

     

    Wireless network is set as a Home or Work network.

     

    I cannot see a "Firewall connection tool" that the other thread makes reference to.

     

    What am I missing / have done wrong?

    Hi, p. The tool referred to in that thread was available in v1.6 of OneCare and attempted to automate some of the advanced settings for the firewall.

    Try this:

    Open OneCare.

    Change Settings.

    On the firewall tab, click Advanced settings.

    On the Ports and Protocols tab, scroll down and place a check mark next to the 2 lines for Xbox360...
