PS3 Media Server Question....

[Chris [BEANS]]

OK, first things first....

My PS3 is connected to the internet via wireless, and has to be due to the position of the router.

My PC is also connected via wireless.

Obviously, The PS3 is set to 'connect to network via wireless' or whatever, in the settings menu.

The PC and the PS3 are next to each other.



My question is, is it possible to connect a patch cable between the PC and PS3 for streaming from PS3 media server and still be able to connect to the internet (PSN) wirelessly(sp?)??

Cheers

Nope. The PS3 will only use one connection type, either wireless or ethernet, not both.

Only real option would be to route the PS3 to the internet through the PC.

Fair enough! Cheers

I think you mean to the Ps3

and this is what you need

http://tversity.com/

don't change any of the settings (or cables) on the ps3 as it will stream the way you have it - only thing you may have to do is allow tversity on the windows firewall

Think this is just me not being clear.
PS3 Media Server is an app similar to Tversity, but what I was wondering is whether the PS3 would be able to wirelessly link to the router for internet access, and at the same time link via patch cable to PS3 media server running on the PC for streaming content.
It appears it can't

Cheers though

Terrible signal I'm afraid
PS3 is fine and I've never had any lag or drops, but the PC on a Belkin G PCI card only ever shows a connections strength between 2 and 3 bars (of 5).

Everything I've streamed, including some quite low quality music video's I downloaded years ago is choppy

And just to pre-empt the obvious solution, it's not my place so I cant move either the PC, or the router.

Thanks though guys.
