Does anyone have any guides so that i can network my Mac/PC Laptop & PS3?

I want to mainly be able to access my movies/mp3s onto my PS3 from my Mac and PC.

Try PS3 Media Server, it's free, and all you do is download and install it on your mac/pc, set which folders can be accessed and then you're done.

All your stuff will be accessible through your PS3. There'll be a little PS3 Media Server icon underneath music/videos/photos etc.

It's really good 🙂

Does this program also let me share between Mac and windows 7 laptop ?
 
I don't think so no. It might be worth setting up an external hard drive with your router so you can access those files from all of your machines.

Sorry I can't be of more help :/

You don't know the password to your own Mac? Is this a Mac on your company system?

Make sure that Windows isn't trying to put a domain/workgroup in front of the username. I believe the link says "Use other credentials."
