Quick Question

Okay, my VAIO PC is connected by an ethernet cable to the router, and my PS3 is connected wireless. Can I still use PS3 Media Server as a result? what would be my method of connection?

Yes PS3Ms will work fine. The VAIO will advertise the PS3 Media Server on your network and the PS3 will connect to it over Wi-Fi

Don't expect HD streaming to be stutter free with PS3 connected wirelessly though...

Re: Quick Question

Thats okay, I dont need HD streaming. Ive read the guide, but I am still unsure on how to connect. I did the thing where you have to enable UPnP, and I got to my Linksys router page, where I could tweak settings, see what firmware it is etc... Now what do I do?

Just install PS3 Media Server. If the PS3 doesn't see it try disabling any firewalls on your PC
