John,
2 files you need to change from memory:
Once you've made the changes power-down the server. Then reboot the router. Then power the server back up again. This will ensure the router picks up the change and broadcasts it.
good luck.
Pete.

@hotwire shame about the mobo not supporting virtualization. You can always use fake virtualization like virtualbox if need be. Have a look at PS3MediaServer (runs on linux) rather than mediatomb if i were you. See here for drive spindown: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Spin-down...

Great first post Frank and welcome to the forums.
Unless I missed it you've not mentioned what happens when you try and access the server via Samba. I know you said it doesn't work but can you be more specific? do you get an error message or can it simply not see anything?
Pete.

@Yoram,
What software are you using to stream to your PS3? Are you happy with it? What media-types are you streaming? Are you transcoding on the fly or is everything streamed natively?
Pete
