How to Set Up Fuppes as a PS3 Media Server

Fuppes is a computer program that you can use to stream media files to your PlayStation (PS) 3. The connection that Fuppes makes with your console is called a "media server," and it requires both your PS3 and your computer to be on the same wireless network. So long as you have the Fuppes software downloaded and installed, you can initiate the media server connection in just a couple of minutes.
