Can't find PS3 / Network issues? Read this first!

Seems there are a lot of questions about this, so try this first before you post.

- Try forcing your IP address or network interface in the settings (this is the number 1 fix).
- Make sure there is no firewall or something else blocking the connection.
- Disable any other media server you have running (like Medialink).
- Make sure that you can ping your PS3, if not then it's probably an issue in your network.

If you still have problems after this then post in this thread and we will try to help you fix it. Make sure to include a detailed description of the issue and what you already tried.

Hi,

I am using TwonkyMedia server, but with the lack of the ability to transcode MKV files on-the-go, I am looking to change to the PS3 Media Server. When I start up PMS with my PS3 on, I get a big X with a message saying that my PS3 has not been found. I have tried changing the ports and IP addresses and everything listed in the steps above, however, my PS3 cannot be seen.

EDIT: btw I can not figure out how to 'stop' the Twonkymedia server without uninstalling ... that could be the problem.

Here is my Traces log for your reference. Looking forward to any help that you can give me. Thanks.

Hi. To stop Twonky, use the attached script.

Thanks for the script. I found it in the package contents right before I received your message . I stopped Twonky, however, that did not solve the problem Any other ideas on why the PS3 is not being found?

Thanks.

[cbell83]

What is the address for web steaming? I can't find it anywhere.

[lgtorok]

Got a new router from my ISP, now media server can't find my PS3! Forced networking on en0, forced my ip address (mac 192.168.1.64, PS3 192.168.1.65), forced port 5001, still nothing. I'm running OSX 10.5.8, also have firmware 3.0 for the PS3 but had the same problem before updating. Here's the trace log

Make sure your router has UPnP and Multicast enabled, and make sure your firewalls are properly configured to allow UPnP traffic and traffic on port 5001 (either directly or by allowing the program)

Hi there!
I tried all You sayd in the first post but no way.
I always used the PMS to stream movies to the PS3 but since about two months the PMS doesn't work anymore.
The last week I switched to snow leopard and to the PS3 3.0 firmware

PMS is still not working may You help me?

Thanks in advance for the help

P.S. : I'm sorry for my bad english....i know....

Ok. I have been trying to get this to work and I have been following a few threads trying to peice together a solution, but to no avail. I just got the ps3 so it is stock and unmodified. The iMac is 1 year old and I just upgraded to 10.6. I do not run much outside of the normal stuff on the mac so it doesn't have anything funky on it.

Here is my set up.

Imac duo core 2 2.66 (IP 10.0.1.2)
os X 1.6
airport extreme (IP 10.0.1.0)
ps3 (IP 10.0.1.4)

I can not pms to find the ps3. I can Ping the ps3, they are on the same subnet. I have tried reseting(powering off and on) the airport. I tried using the en1 force and forcing the ps3 IP. Nothing seems to work. Is the AirPort Extreme my problem?

How do you enable Upnp on the router?
