Getting your PSP online with Kai

Okay, this guide is written for those users using a similar set up to me. The
same setup instructions apply to anybody though, since the only difference
between my network setup and your network setup will be the way my PC
receives its Internet connection. From the PC to the PSP, it will be EXACTLY
THE SAME for you as it is for me.
Your computer must have a wired connection to the internet because
setting the wireless adapter in this manner will make it unable to get
internet through your access point until you undo the settings

Personally, I'm using a Laptop with a Linksys WPC54GS PCMCIA WiFi Card which
I know works (WITH THE LINKSYS SOFTWARE UNINSTALLED).

Please refer to this thread to see if you have a

supported wireless network card
-http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum/viewtopic
.php?t=11469 - there is no harm in trying if
yours is not in the list.
So, the bottom line is - if your card isn't on the
list then it probably won't work but its worth a
try.

Requirements
-

Sony PSP.
PC.
WiFi card (or a compatible router that runs Kai directly on it - see above link).
XLink Kai Evolution 7 (& to be registered).
Internet connection.

There are two major points you must complete before being able to successfully

play via Kai:Set up your PSP, PC & Kai correctly,

Load them in the correct order.

Setup (PSP)
Switch on your PSP without a game in and select "Network Settings".
Select "Ad Hoc Mode" and choose "1CH".
Now switch off your PSP and put your game in.

Setup (PC)
Depending on your current WiFi setup (if you already have one), you will need
to ensure that your set for Ad Hoc.
1. Load up Network Connections from your Control Panel.

2. Right-Click your "Wireless Network Connection" and then select "Properties".

3. Here, (I've removed unnecessary Protocols - may not make any difference) select "Internet Protocol" then click on "Properties"

4. Enter an IP address from a private range (10.0.0.x or 192.168.0.x - "x" being

1 to 254 making sure no other devices are using that IP) and give the subnet of
"255.255.255.0" and click "OK"

5. Now, click on "Wireless Networks" tab then Select "Advanced"

6. Select "Computer-to-Computer (ad hoc) networks only" and "Automatically

connect to non-preferred networks" and then close.
At this point you may want to make sure your firewall or Internet Connection
Sharing settings aren't active.

Setup (XLink Kai)

See:http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/?go=quickstart
http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/?go=help
http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/?go=faq
http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/?go=download

* Red Circled Fields - need to be set up if you

need Port Forwarding. Kai Deep Port should
remain as 0! If you follow the Quick Start Guide
as instructed above, you will know if you have
to or not.

Loading Up Correctly
In order for windows to see your PSP correctly follow the next set of
instructions:Ensure that: your WiFi card is disabled, PSP is switched off, and Kai isnt loaded.
1. Enable your WiFi card
2. Switch on your PSP and load your game then host a game via the menus.
3. Make sure that Windows has connected to the PSP then load Kai. *
4. Check Kai's Diagnostics Mode to ensure Kai has configured the PSP correctly.
**
5. Choose an Arena (in Kai) and host or search for a game (in your particular

PSP game)
NB: If you the person you are trying to play against does not have "1 Sony" (in
Kai) under their XTag, it will probably not connect.***
