Is your PS3 on the same subnet?  On your PS3, have you tried Video -> 
Search for Media Servers (or something like that)?  Do you have the 
latest version of software on your PS3?  When I got mine, it did not do 
uPNP well plus I was still running Myth .20.   On earlier version, the 
PS3 would get a lot of network errors causing the video playback to 
stop.  I haven't seen that happen in a while and I'm now on the latest 
which is 2.35.
