I got a playstation 3 about a week ago and I'm trying to get the media sharing to work with WMP 11. The problem I'm having is my computer cannot see the PS3, I can't ping it's network IP, but the other computers on my network can... I'm hardwired to my router and so are the others, I'm running vista x64 and the other computers are running x32, but I don't think that makes a difference.

I have two onboard LAN cards in my computer. One is a nvidia nforce that I use regularly, the second is a marvel yukon that has major problems if I have 4gb of ram installed.

Anyway, the marvel yukon works, it can ping my PS3 and share media. But since I like to use my computer's 4gb of ram, its not really an option, I have to get the nvidia nForce one working.

I don't know what I need to do to get the nvidia nforce one working. As far as internet, sharing files across other computers, it has zero problems with that. It can ping other computers but the PS3.

do you have the marvell yukon NIC disabled in the BIOS or in Windows? have you installed a recent driver from nvidia.com?

I have yukon disabled in windows right now. I don't think theres a bios option for it. I'm not sure if or the time I installed a driver for the nforce network controller. I do have a roll back option.

run the route print cmd on a machine that can ping the PS3 and route print on the machine that cannot. notice the differences or post the output here.

not what I was looking for

first, tell me the IP of the PS3, the IP of the computer that cannot reach it, and the IP of the computer that can.

are they all on the same subnet? same network number and same mask? are you using DHCP on all 3 or have you configured a static address on any of them? can you ping other devices on the local network from the computer that cannot ping the PS3?

as far as the route print cmd goes, i don't know if that will really help assuming you are using DHCP to assign addresses to all of them. if you aren't sure about the setup, then do the following:

on the computer that can ping the PS3 and the one that cannot

start, run, cmd, route print [Enter] (do not specify an IP after the route print cmd)

Thanks for helping. Here you go.

PS3 IP: 192.168.1.102

Broken computer IP: 192.168.1.101

Working computer IP: 192.168.1.105

I think they are all on the same subnet? Everything is set up automatically. Although, I configured the PS3 and broken computer to static IP's but that did nothing to help. So they are back to automatic. I can ping other computers from the broken computer.

when you installed the nvidia driver did you install the firewall software that comes with it?

no.

I just installed the nforce drivers, with them came a ethernet driver but that did not help at all. Made me re-activate vista.

    • Microsoft Weekly: redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, Xbox handheld is here, and more

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft Weekly: redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, Xbox handheld is here, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here. Fresh Windows 11 preview builds with the redesigned Start menu and Windows Vista flashbacks, the long-anticipated Xbox handheld, Patch Tuesday updates, gaming news, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. June 2025 Patch Tuesday updates are out. Windows 10 received KB5060533 with build numbers 19044.5965 and 19045.5965. Supported Windows 11 versions received KB5060842 and KB5060999 with build numbers 26100.4349, 22631.5472, and 22621.5472. Later, Microsoft released an out-of-band update to address problems with games with Easy Anti-Cheat, causing system restarts upon launch, and a couple of recovery updates. Microsoft launched Copilot Vision with Highlights for Windows. This feature enables AI to see what is happening on the screen and offer additional information, analysis, and context. Copilot Vision currently works with up to two apps, but its availability is limited to the United States (more countries are on the way, says Microsoft). Now, here is some useful stuff for Windows users: a neat third-party maintenance tool that can run various checks, troubleshooters, and repair utilities; a useful guide about personalizing OneDrive folders with a touch of color, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Dev Channel Build 26200.5641 This build introduces the recently announced Start menu redesign. It also packs Lock Screen widget improvements, Narrator enhancements, updates to the gamepad keyboard, and a lot of various fixes. Build 26200.5651 Another Dev build introduced a Settings app agent, Recall improvements, seconds for the calendar clock, context menu enhancements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26120.4250 The Beta build has the same changelog as the one from the Dev Channel. Build 26120.4441 The same build as 26200.5651 from the Dev Channel. Release Preview Channel Build 22631.5545 With build 22631.5545 for Widnows 11, Microsoft improved default browser settings and the Windows Share UI and fixed several bugs. Build 19045.6029 This build introduces improvements to app defaults and multiple fixes for Windows 10. The redesigned Start menu is the most exciting part of the new builds, but as usual, it is rolling out gradually. You can mitigate that by force-enabling the new Start menu using the ViVeTool app as described in our guide. Interestingly, the latest builds introduced a funny bug where Windows 11 plays the Windows Vista startup sound on boot. Microsoft acknowledged the issue and said it is working on a fix in future updates. Meanwhile, if you use the latest Dev and Beta builds, you will get to enjoy 2006 nostalgia each time you turn on your PC. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week's browser updates include a fresh Dev Channel update for Microsoft Edge and secure password deployment in Edge for organizations. The latter arrived in the Stable Channel on June 13 with version 137.0.3296.83. There was also a minor update for Firefox. The latter received version 139.0.4, which addressed several issues with the browser freezing when switching apps, failing to save wallpapers with proper names, and more. In addition to the update, Mozilla announced that Deepfake Detector is shutting down. The service will go dark on June 26, 2025. Moving to Office updates, we have some changes to the new Outlook, which will block more files and allow you to perform more tasks when offline. OneDrive for Mac now supports external disks, Clipchamp lets you trim videos by cutting out parts of the transcript, and OneNote now supports Copilot Notebooks. Microsoft also announced an update on the removal of Exchange Online Basic Authentication in Office 365. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Rufus received an update to version 4.8 with performance improvements for Windows images. Microsoft is committing to upskilling 1 million UK workers in AI this year. Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: Intel 32.0.101.6881 WHQL graphics driver with a single fix for Overwatch 2. AMD 25.6.2 non-WHQL with support for FBC: Firebreak, The Alters, and more. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. A lot happened on the gaming side this week. At the Sunday Game Showcase, Microsoft and ASUS announced two Xbox handhelds: the ROG Xbox Ally and the ROG Xbox Ally X. These portable consoles are a big deal for the world of handheld devices, as they run a special version of Windows, which was optimized for portable gaming consoles with fewer processes running in the background. As such, they offer much better battery life and performance. You can read more about how Microsoft optimized Windows 11 for handhelds in a separate article. Next, we have plenty of new games and DLCs announced at the showcase; here is a recap: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle received a new DLC called The Order of Giants. It will be available on all supported platforms this September. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 made a surprise appearance at the showcase. Activision released a teaser trailer where the game takes players to a futuristic experience set in 2035. Grounded 2 was announced. The sequel of the game for people with arachnophobia is coming next month, offering gamers a new miniaturized survival adventure. Obsidian Entertainment revealed the release date of The Outer Worlds 2 and details about companions. At Fate's End by Spiritfarer was announced, a new action game about fighting family. It is coming to consoles and PC somewhere in 2026. Skybound Games revealed Invincible VS, a brutal 3v3 tag fighting game by former Killer Instinct developers. Anno 117: Pax Romana received a November release date. Ubisoft also unveiled a special Governor's Edition. Nvidia announced new games for its cloud-streaming gaming service, GeForce NOW. If you own one of the following games, you can play them on Nvidia's cloud. The new additions include Frosthaven Demo, Dune: Awakening, MindsEye, The Alters, Kingdom Two Crowns, and more. Mojang finally has a release date for Vibrant Visuals and Chase the Skies updates. On June 17, Minecraft will get its long-anticipated visual overhaul, new features, fresh mobs, and more. Deals and freebies Steam is running a new Next Fest, during which gamers can try hundreds of games for free. The event ends on June 16, 2025. The Epic Games Store is giving away Two Point Hospital, a humorous hospital builder simulator. As usual, more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Games Deals article. Other gaming news includes the following: GOG store introduced the One-Click Mods feature with support for Fallout: London and others. Valve announced new accessibility details for game listings on Steam. Steam finally has a native client for Apple Silicon. To finish this week's gaming section, here is an editorial from Paul Hill exploring the new $80 cost frontier in modern gaming.
