I got my PSP today, and im trying to setup the wireless connection on it.
I need to setup a network on my pc but I don't know how. Can anyone tell me what to do? I don't have a router, just a wireless card.

Also, once this gets working, is there any programs that can let my PSP control the PC, like change songs etc.

[Edit] I currently have an Ad Hoc network setup which works with my mates laptop. But the PSP doesn't find any of my networks.

i think you need a router with an antenna for wireless... its like i configured my brothers psp to play gta:lcs on the net... and you have to switch the little button on the left side of your psp to wireless...

The PSP's ad-hoc mode is designed for between-PSP communication. It doesn't have the software to deal with connecting ad-hoc to PCs.

you need a router to connect it to the wireless network.... i did for mine... and im not dure of a programme which lets you controll things on the PC

BUT, the only way to make a computer an 'access point' to the network it's connected to is through ad-hoc.. The access points they talk about are little boxes, router look-a-like, that connect to wireless networks and share the network through LAN Ports / Wi-Fi..

Linksys Access Point

Ah I see. So bascially, I can't do it without a router. That sucks. Bad.

There are some cheap routers which can handle the job nicely

Don't get excited yet though, what firmware version do you have? If you have 2.01+ you will need GTA to use it and if you have 2.7, well you're screwed

I've got a problem. I didn't see much point making a new thread seeing as its all related

I got my WiFi Max dongle today, but I have had problems. If I try and connect to the WLAN using the automatics settings on the PSP, it can't get an IP address.
However, I manually typed in address settings that I found on the internet, as others have been getting this problem, but once I test the connection, it says "Internet Connection: Failed" at the bottom

Here are the addresses I used:

IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Router: 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS: 194.168.8.100
Secondary DNS: 194.168.4.100
Those are the settings on my PSP.
The settings for the dongle are:

IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 82.13.208.1
Both DNS' are the same as above.

What am I doing wrong?

If you want to get the PSPs Auto-Detect feature to work you'll most likely needa use XP's Network Setup Wizard and tell it "This computer connects directly to the internet and the other computers connect through it." This will cause the PC to become a DHCP server and should give your PSP an IP automagically.

Thanks, i'll try that. I've noticed that the WiFi max allows you to install Apache web server on your pc. Is it worth doing that if all else fails?

And why would you want to do that?

Apache is free software and can be installed any time - but it's used for serving HTTP pages onto the internet... like my website is hosted using apache on a local machine...

Yeh, I thought that.

Ok, I did what you told me to do, but no dice.

I'd rather connect automatically instead of typing it in as its just a lot easier, but I wouldn't mind having to type it in if it was the last resort.

I've done a shit load of Googling, still nothing. I hope I havn't wasted £20.

Sorry for the double post again, but this is kind of urgent

I had somewhat of a breakthrough, if I use the IP of my internet connection as the default gateway of the wireless dongle, the PSP will work fine. However, becuase of this, the internet will not work. So I have to disable the wireless dongle, to use the internet. If it is enabled, then it wont connect with the PSP. I did manage to load Google on my PSP but the internet stopped when I got on it so I couldn't search anything.
What can I do?

I have a question about the Psp. How do you install flash player onto it ive downloaded the update and I clicked on the seyup but it didn't do anything?

Its not a stand alone flash player... it just means that when a web page has a flash file on it the PSP can view it in the Web browser. Where as before it couldn't.

Im pretty sure of this... as i have instaled the update also..and this is what i gathered from the "added features" list it gives you when you install.

ok thanks

No Problem!

I fixed the problem. I had to enable the sharing of DCHP (67 and 68), DNS and HTTP and it works fine. Thanks for all your help.

Glad to no you got it working reaper!
