Xbox 360: Block access to other network resources?

#1

Hello.

I'm setting up an xbox 360 extender intended to be used over slingbox for a friend's kids, but there's a small issue. The 360 can apparently access other network resources (other than the WMC pc), and there isn't a "home group", so why it's able to do this is a question - her PCs are set to password access. She wants the 360 to be able to access the recorded TV/WMC PC only, no other computers on the network.

Is there any way to isolate the 360 so it can access the WMC pc only?

TIA

Off the top of my head, I don't remember where in the Control Panel this setting is located... but you need to change the media sharing options on all the other PC's in the house so that they don't share media with "Everyone".
