Shot in the dark sort of problem, anyone been able to successfully get this working?

This is the setup:
= is wireless
__ is wired

dslmodem______belkinAP ===(client bridge)=== dd-wrtAP______ps3

The ps3 can access the internet, but can't see any ps3 media servers. If I connect to the dd-wrt AP with a laptop I can't see anything else on the network either.

Funnily enough if I connect the ps3 wirelessly to the dd-wrt ap then I everything works great, but obviously this isn't ideal or the plan..

Any ideas?
 
For the PS3 media server discovery to work, the server and clients need to be on the same subnet (eg. 192.168.0.*)

Make sure that the WiFi on the DD-WRT AP is bridged to the LAN ports.
 
Yeah, they're on the same subnets.

Make sure that the WiFi on the DD-WRT AP is bridged to the LAN ports.

Sounds right, know where that setting is offhand?
 
Under Wireless -> Basic Settings, you should mark the Advanced Settings checkbox.
Then you'll see the Network Configuration option right at the bottom, where you have to select Bridged.
The Wireless Mode (also on that page) should be Client Bridge (Routed) if I'm not mistaken.

Just take note that I don't have a setup like this, so I can't verify if this will work though.

I do however have a Buffalo 1Gbps + 802.11n router with DD-WRT that I'm using as a normal WiFi AP.
