About LinkBacks1. Is the PSP web browser any good?
2. Would it be a simple case of getting a WiFi card for my PC and then using Windows internet connection sharing so i could browse the net on my PSP downstairs in the living room?

1. yes its bloody good
2. i can see your a novice with computers cuz 1. u need more than justa wireles card for ur pc, u need a wireless router 2 start off with 2. once u follow number 1 than no need in using windows internet connection sharing...
the web browser all depends on what you are using :s if you have fw2 the browser is far better then the techu browser on the psp by far! but then again you can use the tenchu browser on fw 1.5, il <3 my 1.5, qould never upgrade for nothing! Although fw2 allows you to d/l stuff directly onto the memory stick, some people say they have problems with it though...
if you get a wireless router which you need to go on the internet on your psp you should look for a net gear one, i bought a belkin one and it just doesnt do the stuff i need it to dosuch as port forwarding is too much trouble for me to do. Also the you dont need a wireless card only if you want the internet connection for other computers...
-hope this helps abit...
Lol, not really mate. Was a software developer for 8 years and i have been in and building PC's for a good 16 years. A PSP novice yes, i have never used one.Originally Posted by jonneymendoza
Why would i need a router then? I can certainly see the benifits of a router, but is it worth the extra cost when i could just get a WiFi dongle for a tenner? This is only a simple peer-2-peer network which i could use my existing modem no? When i had a mate staying at my house this is what we did to share the internet connection using the modem in my PC. Cheap and simple and no need of a router because because there was only 2 machines involved. But will the PSP need a router? Can in not be set up as a simple peer-2-peer network with my PC?

Is the PSP WPA-SPK compliant ?
A friend had one round at mine with a few emu's on and I had a fiddle looking on the network settings to see if it had WPA but all I could find was WEP.
[EDIT] - nope the PSP does not support WPA security at all according to the help site @ sony here ;

Hmmm.... quite a bizarre move - most people I know use WPA-SPK/WPA rather than WEP ( see the thread in the connections sub-forum ) so to enable this to go on my network I have to change my security setup.
GG sony - WP!!!GG!!!

WPA-PSK is supported. You need to have installed Ver2.0 of the firmware then its available in the network setup. Mine is setup using WPA-PSK and it works with no problems.Is the PSP WPA-SPK compliant ?

than you should realy know what u need 2 get a psp oline at home than if u have alll that experiance. heck i never had a psp b4 yet i knew what 2do 2 get it 2 work without finding it out or actualy having a psp. all i needed 2 know is if its wifi compatible, thats it.. anything wifi for me is common sence 2 get it up and running.
Cool
Thanks for that info - theres nothing on Sony to say otherwise really.
No offense mate, but could you atleast try and make your posts slightly readable? BTW, I have networked an XDA using just a WiFi dongle and managed to surf the net using it. We did not need a router. Not knowing what profile a PSP has hardly reflects my general PC knowledge. But then i have not used much WiFi stuff so i am cleerly not as 733t as you sorry. But thanks anyway, eh.
Can anyone actually give me a clear answer on this?

lol jonneymendoza every post you make makes me laugh
dangerous_dom: Your quite right that you don't need a router, a £10 dongle will do you fine using ICS - just remember that doing it that way means you need your PC on to be able to use the connection.
I would say try out the PSP web browsing first (if you havnt already got a psp) and see what its like..I havn't got one but I would imagine its like any other small mobile device for web browsing - cool for a few mins but you will soon miss your mouse and kb
Nice one Spud1, that Jonny is off his head.
lol drunk maybe?? i did think your question on just using ics and a dongle was a very reasonable question to ask :s im glad im not the only 1 who thought so
Jon man ffs I always ask you to write properly lol
Well at least he's entertaining i guess, even if he's not the 733t haxor!!!111 he thinks he is. He's obviously quite a young lad. Just wish he realised he was using a computer and not sending a text message when he writes!
