I am running Vista and Norton Antivirus on a home LAN. I have an XP machine, a Vista machine, a Lkinsys WRT54GL and a PS3 (wireless).  The PS3 successfully connects to the internet and I can see the PS3 on the network when i look at the Norton "View Networks" utility.  But windows Vista (running on the same laptop) cannot see the PS3 on the network.  I want to setup media player 11 to act as a server for the PS3.  I have even set an static IP address (150) and I have tried DMZ, dropping firewalls, etc.  Nothing I do lets my Vista Laptop see the PS3.  How can I fix this?

knowing m$.... its probably unfixable (i dont know though)

I use my PS3 with Media player in XP; it was recognized as an "unknown device" but it was pretty easy to enable.

I really never paid attention if my PC can view the PS3 on the network. However head here to set up Media Player 11 as a server:
