Hi, first of all, thank you for reading my post. Second of all, i need help setting up file sharing between my PS3 running YDL 5.01, and my PC running windows xp. I've looked at many tutorials and it seems pretty straight forward to do. But for whatever reason, I can't get it to work.
Both the PS3 and PC are connected via ethernet cords (LAN) into a NetGear DSL router.
I have set up a home network on the PC, and enabled file sharing to the folder that I want to get into with the PS3
Then on the PS3, i used Nautilus, went to File / Connect to Server, and filled the following information as...
Service type: Windows Share
Server: DONOVAN-FAMILY (my pc name)
Share: Videos
Name to use for connection: Family Computer
(all other info I left blank)
Then I click connect, it trys to connect, then says "Cannot show file contents"
I have also tryed to type in "E:\Alex\Videos" (the address starting from My Computer) in case it wanted the full folder address, but that failed too.
I know the firewall is not blocking me, I know that windows gets no indication that I am trying to connect to it, and I can't see what the problem is
I should also mention I have no previous networking experiance and just started to get the hang of YDL.
Anyway I hope that's enough info to point out what I may be doing wrong or what the problem might be. Any suggestions, ideas, or thoughts are greatly appretiated!
