Answer 1

Disable the Media Server function under Network Settings (I think). If you want to continue enabling the Media Server function then you have to assign a static IP address in your PS3. This problem happens because PS3 use the same IP address as the other devices hooked up on the wireless network. You can't use two devices with the same IP address that's why, one has to be disconnected. This is why you need to assign static IP address so that it won't use other IP addresses in your friend's network.
