    Hi folks,

    Small overview of the situation:

    I have a PC and ADSL wireless router at one end of the house connected to a powerline adapter. At the other end of the house I have a Wireless router and a PS3 connected to the 2nd powerline adapter. The primary goal was to have internet access in both rooms and this is working very well. However I would also like to stream videos from the PC to the PS3. DHCP is enabled on the 1st router but I can't seem to connect the PS3 to the PC. Both routers are netgear wireless n if that is relevant. Any advice would be very much appreciated
