Streaming video from Windows Media Player to PS3

We had not streamed video from Windows Media Center to our PS3 for quite a while, and when I recently tried it, it didn't work.  We could see all the files on the PS3, but when we tried to play them we would get a black screen and eventually error number 80710092.

Since the last time we had used the setup, our router had died and been replaced.  After an hour of digging through settings on the new router (ASUS RT-N56U), streaming still didn't work.  The solution actually turned out to be quite easy.  The PC running Windows Media Center had had its network mode switched to "Public", which prevent media streaming -- perhaps from when the router was changed.  I switched the PC back to "Home" network mode and streaming was back in action!
