    I can't connect the 360 to MCE on my laptop without disabling my antivirus (PcCillin). I checked the firewall settings, and MCE is listed and checked like 7 times.

    As soon as I turn off PcCillin, the 360 connects straight away, so I know that is the problem.

    Any suggestions on how to get it to work in conjunction with my AV running?

    Ok, I fixed it, I lowered the firewall security level to low from medium. It connected right away. This setting wasn't very easy to find for me, it was just as easy for me to find the 'create firewall rule' area, and I do know how to write firewall rules with allow/deny status, but I didn't want to get into all the junk
