media server through router?

Corbula · 20 Oct 2008 at 18:11

I have a pc wired to a router and was wondering if i could use the ps3s media server capabilities or does the pc itself have to be wireless?

In other words could i use the router as a wireless adapter to stream or send files to my ps3?

Thanks

If you have media player set up properly on your PC you should be able to detect it on the PS3

even through the router?

p.s. i was going to use TVersity, its a lot better.

after doing some reseach would a NETGEAR DG834G (802.11g) be capable of stream HD (720p or 1080p) content to my ps3?

Yes through a router, infact the router makes it about 10x easier! To stream HD content over wireless is questionable. If it was cabled in it wouldnt be a problem but wireless G could be a problem.

Try TwonkyVision out. I use it to stream DVD's through my TV via my PS3. Free 30 day trial. (Then you have to purchase a license). TVersity does work well with Windows Home Server. Twonky seems a lot better to me!
