Just thought i should mention that the PS3 screws up your internet connection if you're using a WRT54G Linkysys router, versions 6 and up. Mine was version 7 (the sucky version) and i suspected it was the PS3 causing my frequent disconnections and i was right after checking online. To correct this issue, turn off Media Server and UPnP on your network settings on the PS3. No problems after that.

I have problem going through the Internet Connection Test through the PS3..They manage to obtain IP address and Internet Connection but failed when it comes to the PlayStationNetwork. Help pleasee.

ecVK,

I had similar problems earlier that you have. What router are you using? What I did was I restart my router, then so suddenly it all works fine. Able to connect the PSN already. I think and suspect could be streamyx or PSN network is down. Since if you already can get IP address should be okay.
.
Btw, have you open all the ports etc...?
.
Hope this helps

.
me again and sorry to open another posting. Reason being since I got another issue. I'm trying to turn my PS3 into a digital media port. Bought a 1TB external HD and transfered all my photos as music from my apple to the HD.
.
However, PS3 able to detect the HD but unable to view the files/folders. Why aa?? Anyone know why and how to solve this? PS3 has the photo app, but even with this, the pictures in my HD does not autoload.
.
Anyone successful turn it into a digital media center? REason for buying the 1TB external HD is because want to avoid clogging up my PS3 80gb memory...
.
Thanks

Anyone know if the Official Sony PS3 Bluetooth Headset works on the PC?

hi....i use ethernet switch for my ps3....and its work fine..no problem..what difference between router and ethernet switch??

did u create folder for those files?
VIDEO, MUSIC, PHOTO
all in big capital letter, no S.

hi guys....can u guys teach me how to install a ps3 themes after we download the themes file? is it just 'cucuk' the pendrive? thanks..

Just buy a ethernet cable plug your ps3 to your router. Install Java PS3 Media Server and Voila! everything in ur pc hdd can browse from ur ps3. Money for 1tb hdd alredi saved!

Remember if u use external hdd for ps3 - it can only read fat32 format which is quite a pain if you have bluray mkv files

If you bothered to read the first page:

thanks bro..

instead of 'cucuk' pendrive..
u been 'cucuk'..hahaaha

My CPU hit 100% doing the transcoding using PS3 media server, I experience lag also, I tried play around the settings but not working. It could be the CPU not powerful enough.

it's transcoding bro.. sure got such problem..
it's encoding on the fly... for high definition media, i suggest u do remux demux things and save into ur ps3 hdd.

powerful pc means????

so far as i know if a pc can read any HD video/media w/o any problem streaming to ps3 wont be any problem.pc with pentium or whatever 2.8ghz above shouldnt have any problem when streaming to ps3.below than that stuttering will occur.

for me..i dont really like the media server because i cant forward..if i hit forward, then it will stuck.. so i just transferred everything to a usb drive.

hello

do i need to update my ps3 software or firmware since i tried to to the system setting and update..so there is an update ready to be dl..so do i have to?

tanx

i dun understand.... you want to do a system update.... there is an update... but you dont want to download it?

well of course you dont have to. but you wont be able to go online if you dont update. no inet. no psn. no online play.
