Have you ever wanted to use your xbox as an actual media center? Well with one of the best applications for the xbox, now you can! With your favorite internet browser you can now control your XBMC from your favorite computer! Here's how:

First off you're going to want to start up your xbox and go to your XBMC. Here, I'm using the latest MC360 dash, which is very easy to use.

Now that you're here go into your 'System Settings' tab. Once your're there click on 'Network Connections'. Once You've done that go to the 'Servers' tab. Once you are here go and make sure you have the 'Enable Web Server' box checkmarked:

[R] Connected to 192.168.1.5
