First I went to windows media player, tools, options, then library. Click on configure sharing then see if the PS3 is there if it is allow it. If it's not there it there, then it could be a firewall blocking it so you can try to disable all the firewalls. When I got it finally appearing on the PS3 it still wouldn't work, then I found out that my firewall on my antivirus program (BitDefender) wasn't allowing it to connect to my PC so I had to disable the firewall in my antivirus program in order to make it work. I'm not sure if this is going to help but I hope it does. |
I didn't think to shut off my antivirus software, so I shut that off, and shut off the firewall for my router, but that didn't seem to change anything.
I do have a question though. Do you just see the PS3 in WMP11, or can you see it in your network places/connections too. My PC doesn't seem to see it at all. I can ping it, but other than that the PC doesn't know it exists.
@Munkeh111
for a network HDD, it must be a DLNA server. Some network harddrives are, some aren't, so you would have to look up information on the model. Other than that, I don't have a clue (or else I wouldn't be posting here 
)
@jo21
the PS3 doesn't even show up on WMP, which is my real problem.
