- Signing in / signing out
- Using your Friends list or block list
- Exchanging messages
- Using
(PlayStation®Store)
The port numbers for PlayStation®Network servers used for this are TCP: 80, 443, 5223 and UDP: 3478, 3479.
For voice / video chat and online game play, direct communication with other PS3™ systems is used for data transmission during voice / video chat and online gaming. The port number used for this is UDP: 3658. However, you may need to use a different port number when you are connected using a NAT router.
Hints
- When you are using a router, direct communication with other PS3™ systems may be restricted depending on the type of router and its settings. When using a UPnP-compatible router, enable the UPnP feature.

Media Server Connection
Adjust settings for the connection to devices that support DLNA.
Enable Enable connection to devices that support DLNA. Disable Disable connection to devices that support DLNA.
About DLNA
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard that enables digital devices such as personal computers, digital video recorders, and TVs to be connected on a network and to share data that is on other connected, DLNA-compatible devices.
DLNA-compatible devices serve two different functions. "Servers" distribute media such as image, music, or video files, and "clients" receive and play the media. Some devices perform both functions. Using a PS3™ system as a client, you can display images, or play music or video files that are stored on a device with DLNA Media Server functionality over a network.
Connecting the PS3™ system and DLNA Media Server
Connect the PS3™ system and DLNA Media Server using a wired or wireless connection.
Example when connecting to a personal computer using a wired connection
Example when connecting to a personal computer using a wireless connection
Setting up a DLNA Media Server
Set up the DLNA Media Server so that it can be used by the PS3™ system. The following devices can be used as DLNA Media Servers.
- Devices that support the DLNA standard, including products of companies other than Sony
- Microsoft® Windows® XP or Microsoft® Windows Vista™ personal computers with Windows Media® Player 11 installed
When using an AV device as a DLNA Media Server
Enable the DLNA Media Server function of the connected device to make its content available for shared access. The setup method varies depending on the connected device. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with the device.
When using a Microsoft® Windows® personal computer as a DLNA Media Server
A Microsoft® Windows® personal computer can be used as a DLNA Media Server by using Windows Media® Player 11 functions.
1.
Start Windows Media® Player 11.
2.
Select [Media Sharing] from the [Library] menu.
3.
Check [Share media].
4.
From the list of devices under the [Share media] checkbox, select the devices that you want to share data with, and then select [Allow].
5.
Select [OK].
Setup for the DLNA Media Server is completed.
Hints
- Windows Media® Player 11 is not installed by default on a Microsoft® Windows® personal computer. Download the installer from the Microsoft® Web site to install Windows Media® Player 11.
- For details about how to use Windows Media® Player 11, refer to the Windows Media® Player 11 Help feature.
- In some cases, original DLNA Media Server software may be installed on the personal computer. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with the computer.

- You cannot play copyright-protected content.
- File names for data that is stored on servers that are not compliant with DLNA may have an asterisk appended to the file name. In some cases, these files cannot be played on the PS3™ system. Also, even if the files can be played on the PS3™ system, it might not be possible to play the files on other devices.
Searching for DLNA Media Servers manually
You can initiate a search for DLNA Media Servers on the same network. Use this feature if no DLNA Media Server is detected when the PS3™ system is turned on.
Select
(Search for Media Servers) under
