How can I get to the Internet from my Sony PSP?I have bought a sony psp and I would like to get internet on it. I have a windows xp and my internet connection is a bt broadband basic, it runs at 2.2 Mbps. my sony psp has a system 2.00.is there any way to put inernet on it. You have a pretty common configuration and there's good and bad news. The good news is that yes, you can definitely get your Sony PSP onto the Internet with the setup you have. The bad news is that I'm not exactly right when I say "with the setup you have" because you're going to need to buy what's called a wireless router to connect. Basically, the setup you have works like this: highspeed Internet connection from service provider (BT in your case) connects to highspeed modem connects via Ethernet cable to your computer What you need to do is add the new device between the modem and your computer, so that the Ethernet is unplugged from your PC and plugged into the new wifi device, which then has its own additional Ethernet plug that lets you hook directly to your PC. So now, instead of one device between your computer and "the street" (if you will), you'll have two. There are cheap solutions like a Netgear Wireless 4-Port Router for $35 at Amazon.com, but I instead suggest that you spend a bit more and get a wireless unit that supports both the old 802.11b and newer (faster!) 802.11g protocols. Here's what I use: Linksys Wireless-G Router for about $60. While you can configure the wireless network with a password, since the Sony PSP claims to support the various secure wireless protocols, my experience is that it never connects properly. Instead, I suggest you leave it password-free, though it's not particularly secure. If you have good neighbors, you're probably safe... Anyway, the details of configuring the wireless router are specific on the model you buy, so I can't help with that part of the question, but I hope this will let you get going in the right direction. Good luck!

Posted by: sidney at January 16, 2006 8:40 AMhello dave i have a question about my psp..is it possible to go on the enternet with out the router device... i got the version 2.0...thank you Posted by: tony at January 16, 2006 3:24 PMplease help!!!!i am going on yourpsp.com and trying to do network gaming but i can find the network access code anywhere i was wondering if you knew wer to find it Posted by: matthew at January 23, 2006 11:49 AMI wrote this earlier for connecting a psp to a linsys router: While your router may not be the same model I have, the settings will be similar. You NEED a router or access point or wifi hot spot to connect to the internet. You HAVE to set up the network connection before you can connect. If your network isnt using wep encryption , it should be as easy as following the steps in the article i posted and omit the wep part. theres no need to enter the dns settings all the time. Be smart and try the easiest way first. Posted by: MrBrosco at January 24, 2006 10:20 AMIf you have the version of your PSP and the version of it is "PSP 1001" can you still put the internet in your psp? Posted by: Eazy-E at January 28, 2006 9:57 AMEazy-E, you don't "put" the Internet on your PSP, you access the Internet from your PSP. The capability is included in the more recent firmware updates (firmware is the "operating system" of the PSP) and yes, the 1001 units should be able to upgrade and work fine. Once you have the capability, however, you also need connectivity, so you'll need to be near a wireless Internet connection (aka "wifi hotspot" or "802.11b network"). Then scan, find the connection, connect, and you should be cruisin'... Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 28, 2006 6:27 PMmy school has a wifi conection but i do not know how any of that works.

I believe it was the 2.0 release that introduced full Internet access within the Sony world itelf, and by the latest version, 2.6, there's a nice web browser and much more incorporated. So your best bet to get online is to actually just upgrade your firmware to the latest version. http://www.askdavetaylor.com/about_update_psp_firmware.html Posted by: Dave Taylor at March 21, 2006 10:01 AMi have a cable modem for my windows xp put i do not know how to get internet on to my psp Posted by: googles at March 21, 2006 10:12 AMhow come i dont have an access point at home.

After two days of reading and searching for solutions I called My ISP and found out why..You must have some sort of router that is capable of assigning multipul IP's..If you are only using a Cable/DSL Modem it will not work because they only give out one IP..I took the access point back to the store and bought a D-link wireless Router hooked it up to the modem and was able to get online Right away...Hope this helps anyone that has the same problem Posted by: Jbphilly at July 14, 2006 6:30 PMHey there!

Doing this is leaving you open to more than just allowing people to use your internet for free. They can join your network and spy on your local traffic. If you really can't get your PSP to work with a password, at least restrict the MAC addresses that can connect to the router (to your PC and PSP). Many routers support this. With your PC and/or PSP connected you should be able to see the MAC addresses from the configuration client and type them in to the list of permitted addresses, ticking a box to block any others. You should do this even if you have managed to set up password protection.

That you need some sort of wireless base station to be able to connect a Sony PSP to the Internet? I agree that you can use a wireless base station that isn't also a router if you have the option (which saves you a few bucks, at best, but gives you a far less flexible long-term network topology), but there is no way to connect via USB and having a fast wired connection into your home/office is NOT enough for the PSP to be able to utilize it.

Posted by: ahyoong at September 1, 2007 10:15 AMI was having the 80110404 error. My PSP was finding the network, and it was connecting. I just couldn't get on the internet. Tried auto and manual config. Had my wireless router configured properly. I noticed my router had a 3rd DNS entry. So I manually entered that third entry into my PSP as the first DNS server, and left the second one blank. Voila! I am now online. So, poke around in your router settings and look for a 3rd DNS entry.

Generally I don't respond to individual comments because I find that more often than not, the question asked has already been answered either in my original posting or in one of the subsequent comments. In some cases that's not true and I'll then turn a specific question added as a comment to a completely new blog entry.
