I recently got a PS3 and decided to take advantage of the fact that it can be used to stream movies by making my PC a media server. I've done this in the past with the same router I have now before I sold my old PS3, but not on this PC. I've tried using both Tversity and PS3 Media server, but I don't think the problem lies within the configuration of either of those programs because I am unable to ping the PS3.

This problem only occurs when I am using a wired connection on my pc, attempting to connect to a WLAN connection on the PS3. If I switch to WLAN on my PC I can successfully ping the PS3 and connect to the media server.

Thanks

Since both the PS3 and the PC have IP addresses and they are within the same domain, my guess is that there are either firewall or port forwarding issues. Here are some tips to try:

  • Check firewall settings on windows and make sure that the system is allowing communication to the PS3

  • Check the port forwarding of the system. If you had port forwarding setup with the previous PS3 you'll have to redo with the new one.

  • Placing the PS3 in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) may clear up port issues (Check this forum guide and search for "DMZ")
