More information needed. What firmware is your 323 running. Did you already log in and click the REFRESH button on the UPNP AV server page?

Most routers have UPnP settings. Perhaps your UPnP setting is disabled on the router side.

Just a thought

Check to see if one of you video files contains any special characters such as @. If a file or folder contains this character and some others the Xbox will see the entire folder as empty. Just rename the file or folder removing this character. @ is probably the most common character seen to do this.

I have a Dlink switch before the router so I dont have to worry about the UPnP on the router

I didnt think about that so I will defently check it out, im about 100% postive I dont have the @ symbol but I will defently check it out
