UK member setup HELP required!

Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 1:31 pm

hi i require some further help getting online with my psp as i followed the picture guide in the 'sticky' and had no luck. My setup is as follows:

Laptop pc with win xp home
Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S laptop adapter
Buffalo wireless router (high speed) to match the adaptor
Cable modem connected to the router
my psp with RR

i tried the sticky guide but got stuck in getting my psp detected by kai and also i couldnt load up kai because my internet connection wasnt running due to following the steps in the guide to connect to the psp.

i am a newbie to most of this so careful explanation would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks

How is the laptop connected to the router? If you use the Buffalo wireless adapter then you probably can't use it to connect to your PSP at the same time.

yes the laptop is connected to the router by the buffalo wireless adapter.
But......my buffalo router supports both wireless and wired as it has 4 ethernet ports on it aswell. so in theory would i connect my router to laptop as wired then laptop to psp as wireless?

Cheers

Yerp, use a wired connection between your router and your laptop then use the buffalo wireless adaptor to connect to the psp.

Spot on. The wireless has to be dedicated to the psp you see. The laptop acts as a bridge; Psp connects to laptop, and laptop connects to both psp and router.

Got it working ok now! shame about the lag, will have to get an all english based game going and see if it performs any better. The only problem i did encounter though was when i first hosted a game after setting everything up from scratch it worked fine. then after the first race whenever i try to host again i get some error in japanese.

does anyone know why this is?

cheers

You have to disable then re-enable your wireless lan adapter since the connection is already running, your PSP thinks a game is already being hosted on that channel.

when connected to Kai is there a way to join a specific users match being hosted? i know there is private arenas but when you in the standard pp arena all i usually do is on my psp go to join a battle and it searches for a game. As far as im aware it picks the game by chance.

The problem i had was one user wanted me to join his game and i had no idea how to join his hosted game specifically other than do what i normally do?

Can any clear this up how i go about joining a particular users game if it doesnt involve them setting up a private arena. as far as im aware there is nothing in kai to join a users game?

Thanks
