I guess you mean Win XP SP2? Why would you have to upgrade? Problems with wifi adapter?
Yea, the settings and set-up it shows does not come up in Win XP SP2.
My dad's laptop is basically the same as mine, same WiFi card also, but it is SP2 and has the ability to have Kai on it as it is able to take the settings required.
Can`t you use a USB adapter? I use one with SP1 sometimes.
This is the menu settings I can't get up without Win XP SP2:

I use SP1 and can enter those settings OK. I guess that you`re using a cable to get your internet connection from the PC, and then your wireless card to connect the PSP to the PC. If so, you could try unchecking "use windows to configure my wireless network settings." This might enable you to use the utilities programme of your wireless card, if it has one, to connect the PSP to the PC. Just enter the settings from steps 3 and 5 into the utilities of your wifi card - at least that`s what I did and it worked. May be worth a try for you anyway.
No, the PC connects to the internet only through the card to a wireless router.
The 'Wireless Networks' tab does not show up for me.
Think I will have to update to SP2
Are you trying to use the wireless card to connect the PSP to the PC, aswell as using it to connect the PC to the internet? If you are, it won`t work, and this could be why you don`t see the settings in step 5. You will need a compatible usb adapter to connect your PSP to the PC, also. If your existing internet connection works, just leave it as it is, then use a usb adapter to connect the PSP to the PC.
Basically, you can`t connect your PSP to the PC using the same connection that the PC uses to get to the internet. The only way you can do this is by using a Linksys WRT54G/GS or Buffalo WBR-G54 router, though I don`t know anyone who`s done it succesfully and its much easier to use a wifi card/usb adapter.
OK, now I understand.
I have a spare USB adaptor, so will try to use that.
Problem I am having now is that when I enable internet connection shareing on the USB adaptor, it re-sets my IP address for the whole computer, and that means it can not connect to the internet.
Don't worry, worked it out.
I have gone into Configure for the adaptor and selected 802.11b AdHoc mode for network type, as Win XP SP1 does not have the wireless network tab I talked about earler.
sounds about right.... internet connection sharing should not be enabled though. Your usb does not connect to the internet at all. SP1 has that tab on my machine, but I had more success not using windows to connect the usb, as I said. Hope you work it out. :) It took me 4 days. :x
Seems to work, now all I need is someone to test it with.
Says that it can not detect console?!
Pure is searching for the multiplayer game.
EDIT: Perhaps my Belkin 54g USB Adaptor is not compatable.
EDIT 2: I can't be bothered to spend ages trying to get it to work.
Dude, that's what the feature is supposed to do. When I first tried it, I got pretty freaked out, thinking that my entire collection of gold medals got lost or something. But all the broadcasting function does it merge your friend's best lap times and Zone scores with your own (Also, if you did the broadcasting, you'll still need to recieve the other person's data in order to have both people seeing the samet thing. And vice versa.) The only way I see this being detrimetal is if someone wants to see your best times, but you're initials don't even appear in the top times of any tracks anymore. It's designed to get you to try and beat your rival's best times.Quote:

I know that`s what its supposed to do. People should be aware of the fact that you might not necessarily want someone else`s times overwriting your own, and that its not so easy to just have a look at someone`s records then discard them. Firstly, they may be times set by a pilot you will never beat, and secondly the received data may contain false times created by the elimination bug. After receiving data I now have quite a few more false times in my records, which is a pain. The game autosaves before you look at received records, so there`s no going back. I haven`t found a way of disabling autosave - so to go back you may have to create a back up of your old profile to reload later. I`d like to know if there is a way to switch autosave off.
Regarding your question, in receiving I think the game just changes the records data in your profile and makes no distinction between what are your own times and what are someone else`s. So if you then broadcast to another person they will just receive everything you have - no matter whether the times got there through being received or actually set by playing on your own psp. I don`t particularly feel like testing this on my own profile though, as my records tables are getting pretty messy. 8O :)
The euro launch has made it really busy on Kai. When I was on last night there were over twenty players in the arena - most I`ve ever seen. Few of the euro players had it working yet though. The downside is that you`re constantly asking people which regional version they`re using.
Who thinks we should write to teamxlink and ask them if they would consider creating seperate sub-arenas for the different regions of Pure, so that we can at least know whether or not we can race against someone just by the arena they`re in? We can of course create private arenas for different versions - but a bunch of random people thrown together on the internet are rarely organised enough to do that sort of thing very well. :wink:
Certainly not a bad idea, it'll let people get their games going a bit quicker as well. I'm for it.
Ok...I've tried to connect to Xlink Kai and have gone through the log in blah blah stuff and when i get to the arena it has a little bubble saying "Network not reachable- please check Port Forwarding". So I go to the web site (www.portforward.com) and go through all of that stuff and i get up to a bit saying "put the Routers IP address into the address bar browser". And when i do that it comes up with the "Cannot Find Server" page we have all learned to hate. So what do i do? I have tried everything...even the link to 194.168 or something that some one posted earlier doesnt work. this is BS and i am this close [] to smashing my computer. BTW do you need a Linkys router to do this stuff? To be honest i dont even know where my router is or what its called. Please help,Please Help, Please help. :brickwall
If you've read the whole thread, you'll notice that there's only ONE model of router where Xlink Kai has been found to work, period. If you don't have that model, it won't connect. End of story.
