Connect PSP to wireless NTL broadband

[parablax]

I have NTL cable broadband connected to a PC (xp pro). The PC has a wireless network card. Can I configure my PC wireless network settings to allow the PSP to connect and share the broadband internet connection via the wirless network card.

I know the standard way is to use a broadband wireless router, but I just wanted to check if I can do it on the cheap.

You can do it without a router. It is called using "Ad hoc" mode. Its more fiddly to set up normally, but possible.

Set up a network connection in ad hoc mode on the PSP, but I am not sure what you have to do on your PC.

The only thing about doing it that way is that your PC will have to be on in order for it to work.

I have mine set up to use my wireless router.

Thanks for your feedback, I was trying it with infrastructure mode -oops.

Might be easier to get a router for £30 quid, I have also linked my ps2 wirelessly using a bridge (£30) . Will give you details of my cheap set up if you want.
