@fatboyt: Check your laptops firewall settings if it works without problems with another laptop within the same network.
P.S.
Maybe you didn’t notice but this blog isn’t about Windows Media Center/Player but PS3 Media Server…

@Bruno: It doesn’t matter if it is wired or wireless as long as it is the same subnet. You probably get less network troughput over wireless which will result in stuttering when watching hd videos.

You should be able to stream from PMS to a Sony Bravia tv. You will need latest beta to do that. Please note that support of non PS3 renderers is still experimental and not main focus. On the other hand there is no other more or less working streaming server available for these tvs.
More infos are available in PMS forum, there’s even a thread for “non PS3 renderers”…
