You have to have PS3 turned on and Media Sharing turn On in the system menu on the PS3. The for Windows Media Player you should pull up the Share Media option you should see an UnKnown Device (which should be the PS3) add it to have access.

I've got a Linksys router. It recognizes the PS3 by IP address and I've gone in and changed the settings to allow the PS3 (as well as my kids' computer in the basement) access to the network. I've made sure that WMP 11 has full access through the firewall but I can't get that "unknown device" icon. I've turned off the firewall and tried it as well but still no luck, so it can't be a firewall issue.

I installed tversity and tried that, but again the computer & PS3 couldn't find each other.

Oh, well.
