Is it possible....

[Tempest126]

I have a laptop with a broadband connection and it also has a WiFi card in it. I have a PSP that I want to connect to the internet, but unfortunatly, it only connects via WiFi and I dont have any Hotspots around my location. I have heard that it is possble to turn your WiFi card into an Access point while using a Broadband connection, this would solve my PSP internet trouble... Any ideas on how to do this? If so.. Explain please! Thanks.

ICS, internet connection sharing...........
Refer to my post about bridging wired routers.....the answer would lie in that......

You could try to set the wifi and psp wifi settings to adhoc and try to connect the two....and then bridge your network in my computer....

Im still kinda clueless, im not very good at working with Networks . Could you give the steps required in setting this up?

Im not exaclty sure....
You have to somehow set up your laptop to ADHOC....the wifi card that is.....
The PSP should autoconfigure.....
In your connections menu, in your "my computer" you should have 2 networks....the wired broadband......and the wifi.....you have to make the wifi connect with the PSP using adhoc.....

The easiest way would be to get a wifi router....they're like $20

Hope that explain things a bit more clearly, though the author didn't use a PS2, the concept is relevant. It should be...I don't know what to do with the PS2 though or even know if it can support ad hoc communication features. Make sure the card is compatible with each other.
