k i brought my psp to school today and on the bus i decided to search for acces points (never been online before) i found like 10 different points on the way to school .... i gotta question tho if under security it says wep i cant access it but if it says none i can right? i tried to connect with one that had no security and when i went to test connection an error popped up... something like 801 etc ..... there were a bunch of numbers i cant remember right now....

k so heres my question.... to get online i have to go to network settings and then search for the access point and save it right? then go to the online browser and click that connection and that's it? sorry if this question has already been asked i didnt have time to search so if anyone else finds a thread like this please post it or just post what i have to do to get online

I believe thats it yes, mine asks for a pass cause on my security. but if I ignore that part, you shouldn't need to do anything else.

Turn wifi on, setup the connection and go.

If your trying your school's one, if they're like mine then they'll have crap in place with blocks certain packets such as msn's or any p2p software's.
Might be something to do with that?

when i clicked an access point it said it had wep and then when i clicked right it says none wep and some other one... which did i have to click? if i clicked none would it go through still or if the security is we encrypted would i have to put the password

Wep = Wireless encrypted passcode

So it has a pass on it.

I know when you select a server you can select none for wep, but if the server does have wep and you select none, it won't work as it needs a code.

Also, not sure if it applies for wireless but the router ya trying to connect to would need DHCP turned on to assign the psp it's IP?

Sorry can;t be much help, only had the psp about 4 days myself.

im thinking of getting wireless internet from my cousins uncle and was wondering if when i had that would i need a seperate router to run the psp off of? or would the router that hooks up my computer to the wireless internet work with the psp?

Scorpio

nope. you only need one wi-fi router. i think most can connect to about 40 wi-fi devices at a time. i THINK

If it says that the connection isn't encrypted then its 1 of two things. First, it may have an encryption that the PSP isn't compatable with. Second, you may have to get assigned to the network by an admin (good luck with that).

Also if your trying to connect to a network from the school bus, by the time you've managed to get the connection setup you'll probably be out of range of the network again.

Unless there is very heavy traffic on your school route.

ya thats wut happens im in range for about a second lol o well i went to my cousns and got online at his house for the first time.... its pretty sweet.... can u watch music videos on it? like at launch.com?

robin

It will play videos, but not ones that are shown inline in web pages. Your best bet is to download the videos via the PC and then copy them to the MOVIES directory manually from there onto your PSP.
