Anyone can teach how to connect to home pc? Right now, ps3 is connecting to internet wireless via pc router.
Previously, using notebooks, able to connect to pc and share files. But ps3 don't have windows explorer capability or domain configuration. Tried searching for media servers (video, music, etc.) but nothing. What are media servers in this case? EDIT :- Ok, found the following steps, but instead of streaming from pc, anyone knows how to copy from pc to ps3? 1. Make sure PS3 is connected to your network 2. Install Windows Media Player 11 on your computer that is attached to the same network 3. In WMP11 go to Tools>Options 4. In the options dialog box click the library tab, then click Configure Sharing 5. You should see all the computers on your network AND an "unknown device" (which is your PS3) 6. Right click on "unknown device" and select Allow Now if you go back to your PS3 you should see a Windows-looking icon at the top of Pictures, Music and Video sections. Use that icon to access your content library. (This assumes that you set up WMP11 so all your media is in its library) I can access any video, music or picture (as long as the PS3 can read the format) from my computer on the other end of the house, I love it!

hi all,
my speakers is shared with my pc and ps3. both are connected together at the same time to my speakers via a 1-to-2 jack. i use the connection as laid out at the FAQ. it works but the volume is much less and even when i turn up the volume control, its still too soft. when i unplug my pc in, then the volume comes back full blast. any way to solve this? thanks in advance |

Ok, done. Once media server found, can copy or stream files. Now trying to figure out why some wmv (VC1) files no sound. Only mpg works.

Guys, would there be any reason that I should not buy a 40gb ps3 instead of 80gb?
Apart from the HDD which can be upgraded, it's cheaper and basically performs the same duties right? Want to buy a ps3 asap but not much money so looking for the cheapest option. |

I'll help u for thisApart from the HDD which can be upgraded, it's cheaper and basically performs the same duties right? Want to buy a ps3 asap but not much money so looking for the cheapest option. 1 = warranty PS3 40gb is either HK set, or SG set, thus if the PS3 got problem, have to send to HK or SG. Some PS3 have problem with BD lens, some shop owners can repair it themselves at a price. U never know if they change a non ori/not good lens, or change something inside when repair. Like my friend case, got problem with wifi, have to send to SG for 1 month. If 80gb = Malaysia set, just send to Sonystyle to repair it. and Sonystyle ONLY ACCEPT MALAYSIAN set cheers  |

QUOTE(Kenishi @ Oct 18 2008, 02:57 PM) Yup...i am having problem to login PSN network... .waiting for 30s then connection timeout, ask me to check network setting. try all 3 different region PSN account...all give connection timeout.... All this strange behaviour happend to me, after i updgrade to 2.50. Before that, I can connect into the PSN flawlessly.....and playing MGO, warhawk without any issue. Gfreak, I think ur problem most likely is the wireless setup, and plus the lousy streamyx. Both adding up and causing ur problem. Kenishi, . problem solved??? Mine still unavailable….you described your problems quite similar to mine leh…but sorry to hear since you’ve only come into this now, since earlier you’re able to do it flawlessly…..laki tension I supposed….but without upgrade to 2.50, ps3 will definitely block your access to PSN. Could be your network setting been jumbled up? . I’m suspecting wireless setup, a) I did a static IP add, b) DMZ the static IP for PS3, c) enable Upnp, d) disabled my media server (purportedly can help, but no effect), e) open port as per advised from www.portforwarding.com. All the above I’ve done with no effect and PS3 always give the same error i.e. connection timeout. Can I know ur network setting? Or you can PM me…. . For the network signal I’m getting around 60% – 70% on average…not sure about streamyx speed though…anyone can advice on how to check my streamyx speed and what’s the min required speed? . I’m really out of ideas already of configuring the router..sigh….. |

If you have a compatible sound system, mark it.
If not, then don't. You may damage your speakers. |
