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.

    • Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle offers great value for students and professionals

      By zikalify · Posted

      Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle offers great value for students and professionals by Paul Hill Earlier this week, we featured the Kindle Scribe in a deals post. Amazon’s largest Kindle had fallen to its lowest price; these are still on offer if you’re interested. Now, the company has also decided to discount the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle, which includes the Kindle Scribe with Premium Pen, premium leather folio, and a 9W power adapter. The Premium Pen is already included with the Kindle Scribe, but this bundle adds the premium leather folio and 9W power adapter. The 64GB Kindle Scribe variants (available in two colors) cost $404.97, down from $569.97. By using this deal, you’re saving $165 off the list price and it’s $65 less than if you bought the bundle items separately. In the original deal, which is still available, you got the Kindle and the pen, so this bundle adds the 9W power adapter and the premium leather folio. If you are still looking for Father’s Day gifts, this Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle will not arrive in time, even if you get a Prime member trial. What the Kindle Scribe does The Kindle Scribe features a large 10.2-inch glare-free display with a 300 ppi density. It comes with a Premium Pen that makes it feel like you’re writing on paper as you jot down your notes. To make writing easier, you get Active Canvas for in-book notes and a built-in notebook with templates. You can import and write on PDFs and documents via Send to Kindle, including sending directly from Word if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription. With the inclusion of the natural leather folio, which patinas over time, you are able to wake and sleep your Kindle Scribe by opening and closing the folio. It uses a magnetic attachment to ensure a secure close. Once you have written out your notes, the Kindle Scribe allows you to summarize them using artificial intelligence. You can even customize the length and tone of your notes. You can also refine your notes by converting your handwritten words into a script font. One of the standout features of other Kindle devices is their spectacular battery life, and the Kindle Scribe promises the same. The battery will last you up to 12 weeks for reading and up to 3 weeks for writing. Furthermore, Amazon has used 18% recycled materials including 100% recycled aluminum parts, and it comes in fully recyclable packaging. Finally, and it shouldn’t really need mentioning, the Kindle Scribe has full access to the Kindle Store so you can quickly and easily gain access to all of the latest books. Should you buy it? Anyone who has ever loved using a Kindle product should check out the Scribe as it has many of the same characteristics, but on a bigger scale and with writing capabilities. Students at college, especially those studying something like literature, could benefit. It could also be good for professionals who need to annotate documents. If you saw the deal earlier this week and were worried about scuffing up the device, then this deal may be more tempting thanks to the inclusion of the folio case. Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle (16GB): $359.97 (Amazon US) / MSRP $519.97 Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle (32GB): $374.97 (Amazon US) / MSRP $539.97 Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle (64GB, Tungsten/Black Folio): $404.97 (Amazon US) / MSRP $569.97 Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle (64GB, Metallic Jade/Dark Emerald Folio): $404.97 (Amazon US) / MSRP $569.97 This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the Amazon US deals page here. Get Prime (SNAP), Prime Video, Audible Plus or Kindle / Music Unlimited. Free for 30 days.
