PS3MS works with wireless ps3 but not wired

[daweeb]

Hey guys!
Thanks for this great app, I've been using it a long time and really enjoy it! (v1.10.1)
however... now...
I moved my PC to another room, and to avoid long cables I bought a wireless USB network card for the PC.

When the PS3 and the PC was wired to the router... everything worked
When both the PS3 and the PC has wireless connection with the router... everything works

BUT... When the PC is connected to the router wireless, and the PS3 is connected with a wire... It doesn't work!

Why???

It's hard to find answers to these kinds of questions, I've tried to search the forum but the search words "wireless" and "wired" are appearantly too common...

I read something about the different NICs on the ps3. But I didn't understand why that would matter... (or how to manage them)

please help....

Thank you

try upgrading to 1.10.5 and try again http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/downloads/list

On the ps3, go to network settings then media server connection. then set it to enable. I had the same problem, although i installed the newest version of the PMS so that may have helped as well.

Daweeb, I have exactly the same problem. Very annoying. I have tried just about everything. (and mediaserver is enabled on ps3)

Hello,

has anyone figured out a solution for this?
Everything works well if both PS3 and PC are on wireless or wired.
If one is wired and the other wireless I can't get it to work (neither PS3 or PS3MS detect each other)
This is very strange because IP configuration is exactly the same and pinging the PS3 works ok..

Tks in advance,

Have you tried setting setting the LAN adapter explicitly in the General Configuration tab -> Force networking on interface?

[digitallife]

Yes, i've selected the wireless adapter from the list.
I haven't forced any ip/port but, in the logs it shows the correct ip and port.
Also no errors come up in there.

[digitallife]

ok, i've finally had some time to compile more details:

PS3 (wired):
ip: 192.168.0.15 (DHCP assigned)
subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0 (DHCP assigned)
gateway: 192.168.0.1 (DHCP assigned)
dns: 212.113.167.57 (DHCP assigned)
dns2: 212.113.167.49 (DHCP assigned)

laptop (wireless - WinXP SP3, windows firewall active allowing PS3MS to communicate, clamwin antivir):
ip: 192.168.0.99 (manually assigned)
subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0 (DHCP assigned)
gateway: 192.168.0.1 (DHCP assigned)
dns: 212.113.167.57 (DHCP assigned)
dns2: 212.113.167.49 (DHCP assigned)


In the PS3MS interface is forced to the wireless adapter. No ip or port is forced.
Here's the log:

With this setup PS3MS show the red cross and PS3 finds no media servers.
Now the strange thing is that i can ping the PS3 and, from the PS3, using its web browser, i can access a web page on my laptop (http://192.168.0.99:5001 -> the PS3MS http server)

If i switch PS3 to the wireless interface (all configs: ip, subnet, etc remain the same!) both the PS3 and PS3MS immediately detect each other!

Maybe this can help you help me

Tks in advance.

[digitallife]

no one?

Ok then two things:
Anyone ever successfully get it working with a setup like this? (wired and wireless)
Anyone had problems with multicasting not working between wireless and wired?

Cheers,

[cyprian]

I'm gonna put in some confusing or perhaps to someone, enlightning experience of the same problem.

digitallife asked: "Anyone ever successfully get it working with a setup like this? (wired and wireless)"

Yes, I used PS3 Media Player without problems with the following setup until one week ago:
PC - Router: Wireless
PS3 - Router: Wired

One week ago the exact same problem as digitallife describes turned up. PS3 Media Player shows a red cross and says it can't find the PS3. Both the PC and the PS3 has internet access and it's possible to ping the PS3 from the PC.

The only way i've managed to get it to work again is to change the internet connection in the PS3 from wired to wireless.

I wish I could tell you that I did some obvious changes between the last time it worked and when it didn't but I'm pretty sure I didn't even touch the PC, router or PS3 during that period, which makes this very annoying.

As you understand I'm also very interested of a solution to this problem...
