If media sharing is not already turned on, you need to turn it on by doing the following:. Click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click Media Sharing.
In the Media Sharing dialog box, select the Share my media check box. If you cannot select the Share my media check box, you might not be connected to a private network.
For your protection, media sharing is automatically turned off when you are connected to a public network. In addition, if you are connected to a domain network, your network administrator can prevent you from turning on media sharing.

After you turn on media sharing, you need to select the computers and devices you want to share your media with.
You do this by allowing specific computers or devices to access your Player library. In the list of devices below the Share my media to check box, select a device. If you don't see this list of devices, see the procedure in this topic about how to turn on media sharing. If you want to share your media with the computer or device you have selected, click Allow.

Note: that you can also allow or deny devices by clicking the notification that appears when the Player detects a new device on your network.

Then use the remote control to browse for content that you want to play. If you need assistance using your device to select content to play, check the documentation that came with your device. If you are using another computer that is running this version of Windows Vista, do the following:. Select the Find media that others are sharing check box, and then click OK.

You will also need to allow PlayStation to access your computer from the Firewall settings:. Ensure the PS3 and Computer are within the same IP address range and subnet mask, so they can talk to one another.
If you use another 3rd party Firewall, like I do, McAfee, you will probably need to go in to that software and add the right stuff, such as Programs that can communicate out on the network or trusted IP's, etc.
