if it's as easy as that bloke makes it out to be, i'll be doing it when i get home

although i can view my computer on my telly via the hdmi cable connection, so i'm not sure i'd need to bother with routing it through the ps3

unless there are other options than i have yet failed to fathom?

What you chaps need is a media server called TVersity. This will decode your avi files into the relevant format that the ps3 needs to view them. I did try it using windows media server but it wouldn't play the video's. With TVersity it works always.

PM me if you get stuck, it is stright forward but at the same time difficult if you don't know what your doing.

If you just want to listen to music you only need to change the permissions on media player, then do a scan on the ps3 and up should pop your PC. You can then access your mp3's etc.
