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!

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. blink.gif
