Setting up media server with a ps3 [SOLVED]

[Blackadam1518]

Does anyone know how to set up a media  server on a ps3 how Vuze and Media player do with it?

If you want to set up a media server -accessible to PS3- on your PCLinuxOS machine, you should have a look at Mediatomb or ps3mediaserver.
They're both in the repos.

I don't know if you can do the opposite though... (use your PS3 as a media server)

I don't know if you can do the opposite though...

got everything working downloaded ps3mediaserver on both my lappy and desktop by any quick chance do you guys know how i can change the name that appear they both say the same name 

[coffeetime]

What do you mean with they both say the same name? As a host name..?

When i'm on my ps3 and it shows when both my pc and lappy or on "PS3 Media Server [unknown host]" twice where it says unknown host if i can change that there some how to show which one of my pcs it is

and i just had a thought i'm on a secured home server....mine with the ps3 media server program would it broadcast my music files for example over to my neighbor who just so happens to have his ps3 on when i do or would it just broadcast it inside of my home network ??

I had setup ps3mediaserver some months ago for my father in law, so he could watch movies on his TV.
I don't remember the whole procedure but I do remember we had to set manual IP addresses and DNS for both the computer and the PS3 to be able to access it. And he only had one machine. Maybe if you set different IPs for the computers you will be able to distinquish them in PS3?

Can he access your network? I guess not, if your WIFI is password protected.
So he can't access your media server. It is available only for those who are connected to the network.
