You cannot talk directly to the xbox via windows explorer / network.
I have seen a FTP method but I cannot get it working.

hmm , URL please , what exactly does this FTP method DO ?, copy files to the 360 HD and you can play the transfered video files directy off there perhaps?
AFAIK both the 360 and PS3 use UPNP over multicast to pull or push the content , so im wondering where and what this FTPing method is ment for , and what OS and extra apps its using... etc.

Put simply the PC is not being seen by the xbox. The PC however sees the Xbox in media player - at least an xbox is listed in there.
Forget trying to connect the media player options in the xbox. Simply trying to detect the computer using the xbox options of settings > Network settings > Test PC Connections, draws a blank. Until the xbox can see the PC, any third party software, that extends the stuff that can be played, isn't going to make a difference.

YEP, thats EXACTLY what im saying, you have disabled a service, this exact thing happened to one of my PCs in the LAN also, i had disabled one of the services above that
the 360 needs to find and parse the broadcast information to get its information from the PC MP.
i could see and set the 360 as "share my media to:" but the Xbox360 couldnt see that PC in the LAN , but the others appeared without problems.
it IS a service missing on your main PC.
but seriously just use Tversity, it worked fine even with the missing MS service mentioned above i seem to remember, thats why im telling you this, as it is tryed and tested by ME, i just cant remember the exact service it was, its been a while....
but its your choice OC, take my tryed and tested advice or not....been there done that, got the teeshirt many times over.
put simply, the XP WMP broadcasting service isnt running, so the data isnt being put on the wire, and so the 360 cant know the WMP11 is trying to give it the info it needs to pull the files and build the 360 GUI display, that you then select from and start the multicast push/pull across the LAN.
