Streaming to PS3

[RESiDENT-UK]

Hi guys im all setup and connect on the playstation network but it says Upnp failed when i did a test will this stop me from streaming? If not then im having an issue with streaming files , i have setup WMP 11 its all working , and the UNKNOWN DEVICE (PS3) is set to allow and my folders are there but they dont seem to be showning on the ps3 , the folders do but no files?

if you go to a folder and press triangle does it give you the option to 'show all'? If it does do that it should show the files?

[tips]

Apologies if this is a bit of an hi-jack, but my kids have a PS3 coming off father xmas - can u stream movies direct to it? Wirelessly?

Thanks

I had similar problems a while back, I could'nt get it to work at all with XP and media player 11. But once a new comp arrived with Vista it worked fine. That was until I changed firewalls, I had to drop the firewall and it worked fine (pinpointing the problem to the firewall). A setting on the firewall (Easy setting instead of advanced) also did the trick.

I was using TVersity for a while on the PS3. I've changed to a share now on my Linux box. Works fine but TVersity was better over wirless as it would transcode to a slightly lower bitrate.
