Ps3 and network trouble

Post by stevensonnz »

Hi

I have had this program working flawlessly for a long time and its never missed a beat.

I have my main modem/router connected to my PC and have decided to add a new router to my bedroom to extend wireless range. I have connected the new router via Ethernet cable and have since plugged the ps3 into that. Now i cant get the media server to show up on the ps3.

Any help with getting this to work will be greatly appreciated :)

Main modem/router is: Netgear DGN2200

Second new router is: Netgear wnr2000

Thanks
Wolfgan

Your 2nd router needs to be connected as acccess point, as in router mode you'll have a segmented network where upnp discovery wont work between segments.
