XBox Keeps Loosing Connection To Media Center

I recently found that my XBox wasn't connecting to my media center pc. I'd have to log in and remove it then re-add it from one day to the next. Really annoying.
I then found form the event log that :Media Center Extender service" failed to start as it relied on a service called SSDP and the latter had failed to start in time so I set the Media Center service to "Automatic, delayed" start and then it worked. How rubbish!

In Event Viewer; Windows Logs; System, near the time of the system start up I saw:
"The SSDP Discovery service hung on starting."
followed by

"The Media Center Extender Service service depends on the SSDP Discovery service which failed to start because of the following error:
After starting, the service hung in a start-pending state."
