I think that first of all you should figure out the IPs. An IP it's like the Address of your gadgets. It's like PC leaves in State.Town.Street.Number. You have to make them live in the same State, Town and Street so they can find each other.
Now the tech. Press your windows key from your keyboard. Then select "execute" or something similar. It must let you type in a little box. Type CMD. Then, a black screen will pop up. Then, type IPCONFIG. Your IP and other data will be shown. Write them down on a piece of paper and enter them into your PS3 (Settings>Internet settigs>wired>manual).
It will be something like ->
192.168.1.55 (that was your PC IP).
192.168.1.1 (thats your gateway, the bridge to the WAN [internet])
80.58.0.33 (this is DNS. This makes your system know the IP from the name you type on your browser. Example: www.google.com > thanks to DNS your PC or PS3 knows where it has to reach > (insert google IP here)
Well copy all exactly BUT the last number on your PC's IP. That would be 55 in the example. Enter any other number between 1 and 255.
Try this out and lets hope your LAN configuration it's not the kind of the university apeshit.
BTW: Almost forgot. Check you have "find media servers" activated on your PS3 and that you have a media server actually running on your PC (Windows Media would do the job just fine).
