RE: Media sharing between desktop-laptop-ps3

Bridging
You have some devices connected by wire (Ethernet) and others wireless
(WiFi).
It might happen that streaming between them don't work because some routers
simply don't bridge the two networks correctly.
A simple check is to connect them the same way (all wired or all wireless)

PC
Check the usual suspects, anti virus and firewall.

Vista has UPnP installed by default. If you put media sharing on in WMP, it
will activate all necessary services and firewall settings.

The following services must be up and running:

•SSDP Discovery
•UPnP Device Host
•Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

Hi,

I've got a problem with media sharing. I have a dekstop running Vista Home
Premium, laptop with Vista Home Basic and PS3. My home network was built up
basing on Asus WL520GU router. Desktop is connected via RJ45, while laptop
and PS3 are connected via WiFi.

And now to describe an issue.

Media sharing on laptop works perfectly fine. Both desktop and PS3 can see
it and connect to its WMP libraries. But I can't establish sharing on the
desktop. Basic configuration for media sharing is exactly same as on the
laptop.

Please help in resolving this issue.
