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.

    • Windows 11 finally gets redesigned Start menu and more in builds 26200.5641 and 26120.4250

      By George P · Posted

      It's an improvement overall but I'm also of the idea that they should just give users more options and let them have the menu they like instead of just going with one outline and some minor options (though finally getting rid of recommended is great). I know people who don't want pins and would rather it all be just the list/grid of apps. Others just want pins, others want them side by side and not up on top of each other. Have more layout options and let people mix and match, problem solved.
    • Audio setup question - onboard realtek + pioneer receiver (analog)

      By Izlude · Posted

      Hi all, I've got a Pioneer VSX 815-k receiver. Love this thing, however, my cat did his business on top of it and kinda recked it... Only analog works (5.1 surround RCA inputs). Normally I'd use toslink from mobo to digital in on the receiver, but the result is a ton of loud white noise over the music. Analog works just fine, so I'm forced to use the 3.5mm jacks on the rear of the mobo to the RCA inputs on the receiver. The issue I face is that there is no DTS or anything fun.. Originally, I could play all my MP3s or watch YouTube etc, and the subwoofer would be booming as I like because of the mixing from the DAC. Now with the analog, none of that is happening  I'm wondering if there's some kind of software solution for Windows to get the subwoofer to play as it did when I had it hooked up through toslink, but for analog out instead. As of now, only audio files that were encoded specifically to produce sound to the sub, will work, but nothing else. As to which onboard sound solution my mobo has, this from the website's description: 121dB SNR AMP-UP Audio with ALC1220 & High-End ESS SABRE 9018 DAC with WIMA audio capacitors Sound BlasterX 720°, the top-of-the-line audio engine solution for 4K gaming and entertainment  yea it uses that wonky SBx 720 app to change the audio effects n stuff.. but doesn't help with my issue Eventually yea, I wanna buy a new one. They're about $80 on ebay after shipping, but that will have to wait.

      Serious question here. Why is the start menu such a heated topic? I can't remember the last time that I used the start menu for anything at all other than it pops up when I hit the WIN key on my keyboard before I type for the program I want to run and then hit Enter or to restart my machine. I honestly wish it would just go away, and it just be replaced with the PowerToys Run menu. Am I missing something with the Start menu? I see people always talking about installing third party replacements and such, but I just wonder what some are actually using the Start menu for that I might be missing out on. Genuine question. Hopefully not offending anyone as I know everyone has their own way to work and access things in the OS.

    • These are the Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      These are the Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 by Aditya Tiwari Apple has announced the latest operating system upgrade for its smartwatch lineup, called watchOS 26, not watchOS 12, as many expected a while ago. The Cupertino giant has unified the software experience across its platforms by introducing the "Liquid Glass" software design and renaming all the operating systems to version 26. That said, the next question is which Apple Watch models will support watchOS 26. Apple has shared the official list of devices: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Apple Watch Ultra Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Series 9 Apple Watch Series 8 Apple Watch Series 7 Apple Watch Series 6 Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) The upcoming Apple Watch update brings several new features to your wrist. Liquid Glass design gives a fresh look to the UI with updated Control Center and translucent buttons within apps. It's new Workout Buddy feature can use an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone nearby to provide personalized, spoken motivation during workouts. Building on the Double Tap feature, you can now flick your wrist to perform actions like muting incoming calls, silencing timers, and dismissing notifications when your hands are full. It is available on Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9 (or later). watchOS 26 is currently available for testing through the Apple Developer Program. It will roll out to general users during the fall season, when Apple is expected to refresh the Ultra and SE models. Note that your Apple Watch must be paired with an iPhone 11 (or later) or iPhone SE (2nd generation or later) running iOS 26. While the list of Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 remains the same, it won't work with iPhone Xs/Xs Max and iPhone Xr, which were previously supported on watchOS 11. You can check out the respective lists of supported devices for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Tahoe.
