I know this has been discussed ad nauseum all over the net but I haven't been able to track down an answer.
I have a PS3 that I want to stream video/audio (MP3, AVI, VOB, MP4 etc.) from my Windows XP box over a wired (Netgear Powerline 85 mbps network). When doing so playback is horribly choppy. I am sure this is a network issue of some kind. Only the media streaming seems to be a problem as internet speed seems fine on the PS3.
Specifics
Intel P4
2 GIGS RAM
Windows XP
NetGear 85MPBS poweline network
Motorola SBG900 wireless cable modem/router
PS3
The modem is connected into one of the Powerline Ethernet blocks
A cable is coming out of that same block connecting the PS3
Another Powerline Ethernet block is located in another room connecting my PC
PC gets solid 85-100 MBPS connection from the modem
PS3 does indeed connect to the internet and can see media servers
PS3 internet speed seems solid, the problem arises when I try any media serving (I have used PS3 Media Server, TWONKY, TVERSITY and Windows Media Player)
Symptoms are as follows
-Opening folders is quick
-Once I get to the data the PS3 shows the files slowly, maybe 5 or 10 at a time
-Opening the media from the PS3 gives a very noticeable lag between play an actual start of the (MP3,Video etc.)
-Video is incredibly choppy
Once again this is with a wired connection (NOT WIRELESS)
Turning the Firewall off did not seem to help. I know enough to be dangerous but really get lost in all the Network speak/ports etc. So feel free to speak to me like I am an idiot.
So any help would be appreciated.
Thanks much all,
Chris
