NAS on Network

Inquitus

Ok I have a 4TB NAS which doesn't support DNLA connected to a 100Mb Router by Cat5.

I have a PS3 connected to the 100Mb Router by Cat5.

I want to stream HD media from the NAS to the PS3 using Tversity Media Server running on a network PC. I must do this as the NAS doesn't support DNLA. The PC is connected to the network by Ethernet over Powerline, which works great, but doesn't deliver significant bandwidth for some of the higher bitrate parts of some HD movies.

My question. If I connect both the NAS and the PS3 to the router will the stream follow:

1) NAS ----> PC

---

> PS3

or

2) NAS ----> PS3

If the answers is the former, which I presume it will be, is there any way round it, aside from buying a DNLA enabled NAS.

It will go like this:

NAS -> PC -> PS3
It will go up to the PC and then down to the PS3. So will require the full bandwith in both directions down the ethernet over powerline.
You should try it and see what happens, it might work.
