Giving PS3 access to PC
Folks i am a total numpty when it comes to using a PC and i just cannot figure out what i need to do with my PC to allow my PS3 to connect to play music. The PS3 has now found my PC wirelessly but i have to give it acces somehow. I am on XP and have explored the control panel but just don't have a clue how i go about it. Can somebody help please?
