No problem. We are here to help!
Don't hesitate to post if you have any queries.
I suggest you keep reading stuff including the threads concerning your homebrews as well as anything related to your CFW, there is no substitute for personal research and trial & error, moreover most questions you have have most likely been answered already...
Happy gaming!
 
Hey guys, I just installed ps3netserv and have all the latest tools. Everything works except I can not play PSX or PSP games (ps2 still only plays internally) over the server. Instead it copies it from the PC to the internal HDD. Is this how it's suppose to work or am I missing something to make it stream from PC?


Thanks in advance.

"On PS3 in the webMAN settings, you have options 'scan for LAN games / videos'. Select it."

Please update the phase, the option is not in newest webman mod full and there is no option to enable LAN Games at all.

Sorry, I don't have ps3 with cfw anymore. But feel free to post updated "steps", and I will add them to tutorial.
 
Hey all, I'm trying to get a server set up on my Mac Mini (dedicated media server for the house so it's always on). I've got the server installed and configured. I put in the IP address of the PS3...

1st question - what if I want to access this server from more than one PS3? Do I have to go into the server and change the IP address every time?

On the PS3, I've tried it both ways - enabling net0 in MM and also enabling scanning for LAN games in webman. In both cases I put in the IP address of the server, but could never get anything to come up. mmOS does not show net0, so it's definitely not configured correctly somewhere, I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong.

Any advice on how to get this going on a Mac is greatly appreciated!

Where did you put the IP address of the ps3?
The server doesn't need to to get the clients IPs configured.

You only need to put the servers IP in the config in webman mod / multi man once on each console.

I've never used ps3 net server on Mac, only on windows and on my raspberry pi.
Iirc you would only need to configure the shared folder on the server.
 
The client on the Mac requires an IP address, I assumed that was the IP of a PS3 since why would it need the IP of the computer it's already running on? Was that wrong? Do I actually have to put in the Mac's own IP address into the client? That sure seems weird...
 
Well just to be thorough I put the Mac's own IP address in the PS3 net server client on the Mac. No change.
 
Well, I might remember wrong, but I think I didn't have to tell the server the clients IP...
What if you leave it empty?

Nothing... on the PS3 (with or without any value put in the client for an IP address) if I go into MM and enable network servers, every category (photos, videos, etc.) starts showing "net_host0" except for the games category which shows nothing except Rebug toolbox.

This is totally frustrating... seems so simple, seems like it should just work, but it doesn't. Am I doing something wrong or does the Mac PS3 Net Server not actually work? Guess I could try running it on my Windows box too to see if I get a different result.

...but you do have the folders GAMES and/or PS3ISO directly in the shared folder (including your games)?
Can you see it in multimam file manager?
 
Yes I do. The Mac client shows /Games for "ps3netsrv" and the full path toe my games folder as "Share Dir", which is /Volumes/Media1/PS3. Inside the PS3 folder, is PS3ISO/ and inside that are my game ISOs. I also tried simply putting them directly in the PS3 folder.

I cannot see anything under the Games section in MM file manager, and no network volume appears in the MM desktop, however the net volume 0 does show up under every other category (photos, videos, etc.) even though I have no such folders for any of those categories at all.

Clearly the PS3 and server are simply not seeing each other at all, but I can't for the life of me see why not. I've tried every combination of settings I can think of including many that just plain make no sense but I tried them anyway.

To me, the only logical setup is to place the IP address of the PS3 into the Mac server, and the IP of the Mac server into the PS3. The one way that doesn't make sense is, what if you want more than one PS3 to connect to the server? But it makes no sense to me that a server running on a computer, wouldn't automatically get the IP of the computer for itself... so it can't be the case that you would put the Mac's IP in the Mac server. Can it? Regardless I tried that anyway and no dice.

I'm out of ideas here... is there anyone reading this who has actually setup and used the Mac server and can tell me what *exactly* they put into each field on the mac server, and what exactly they put in either Webman or MM to get the PS3 and server to communicate?

Uhm.. Have you tried to ping the ps3 IP from your Mac server?
Or http/ftp (if webman is running)?
I was just thinking maybe a network issue...
I'm out of ideas..
But I just tested setting up a server address in MM that doesn't exist: I can see an empty /net_host0/ in MM file manager.
 
Thanks gang... FTP works just fine BTW, and I never use the Mac firewall (always disable it). I even port forwarded 38008 on the router that the mac server is behind, just in case it was related... but the fact that all the other categories in MM get a folder, but games doesn't, has me totally stumped.
