How to Get a PS3 Server to Work

The PS3 (PlayStation 3) lets users do much more than play video games. It can play Blu-ray movies and store music, movies, games and photos on its built-in hard drive. In addition, you can set up a server with your home computer so that you can share files over your network. The PS3 is set up to work easily with Windows Media Player 11, but the server capabilities must be enabled on your computer first before your PS3 can locate the server. Once you have enabled it, you can enjoy your computer's content quickly and easily from the PS3.
