LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE Your opinions are objectively wrong and deserve public ridicule for even suggesting that anything besides beautiful original hardware, hooked up via SCART, played on a God's-gift-to-man Trinitron or PVM, could ever even be considered! (Let alone considered acceptable) Heavenly analog polluted with philistine digital signal quantization? Makes me sick to my stomach

Did you remember to install all your flash/codec/that jank? Does your chosen codec pack suck?

Have you tried turning it off and on again? So if I'm understanding correctly, you have three laptops connected to one router, and when you disconnect your laptop from the router it disconnects everyone else? That is incredibly bizarre. Do the other laptops retain a connection to the router, but just lack internet access? Or are they booted off completely? Are there wired connections also to the router? What happens to them? I'd agree with Neon, maybe an update to the firmware might fix it. Maybe. Before that though you should just try resetting the settings and seeing if something had been tweaked to work in a (very) odd way. You also might wanna try getting a router that doesn't suck, something nice that'll take tomato or dd-wrt "anomalia" is spelled "anomaly" btw

PS3mediaserver is by far the best choice for this. Contrary to it's name, it's one of the best solutions for home media serving, dedicated server or not, PS3 or not. It's got on-the-fly transcoding, so you can get it streamed in whatever format you need to whatever platform you want (mostly just useful for weeaboos). It's open source, and has a pretty fair collection of plugins so you can tweak it to how you need it to perform. http://www.ps3mediaserver.org
