PS3 name on network??

Iceman · 23 Oct 2011 at 16:41

Not sure if this should be in here or in the network section, but here goes.
Nothing major probably me just being picky. When i log into my router and hit the devices attatched. I see my laptop name, I also see my Iphone name but the PS3 shows as unknown. Now i would like this to show as PS3 or whatever i set it to. But how do i go about doing this?

Thanks.
