Help with Xbox 360 connection to Windows Media Player?

I am running XP with WMP11. For the past month, I've had a good connection between my PC and my XBox 360, and I could stream video, music, and picture content. All this is accomplished over a HomePlug network, and my 360 still has full connectivity through this network to Xbox Live. A couple of days ago, suddenly the 360 could no longer find my PC on the network, despite that the PC still "sees" the 360, and WMP 11 still has media shared to it. I've not changed any settings on my system, not installed any new software. The only other change between the systems has been regular play, and I downgraded from an Xbox Live Gold account to a Silver account (1 month trial ran out, and I'm considering re-upping to Gold).

Any suggestions on why my 360 now cannot locate my PC on the network? Any troubleshooting or methods I might try to re-start this connection, or re-set?

    You can try restarting your connection all over again from the beginning. Disconnect your xbox from your PC and then reconnect.

    Or you can call Microsoft support toll free at 1-800-4MY-XBOX

    Does your router/modem have only one port for connecting a device (pc/xbox)? if it has multiple then just get another ethernet cable. If it does have only one port then get a switch preferably or a hub and connect it to that port and your devices to the switch/hub.
