If all you have is a Linksys router, then you are in LUCK!

Here's what you do:

1. Download XLink and get everything installed.

2.Download the firmware for your router (remember, this only works on Linksys and Buffalo routers.)

3. Enable boot_wait mode on your router.
3a. Go to http://192.168.1.1/
3b. In the message box that pops up, enter "admin" as the password. The username can be anything, but to be safe, also make it "admin".
3c. Once the page pops up, click on Administration.
3d. Then click on Diagnostics.
3e. Then click on Ping (or just go to http://192.168.1.1/Ping.asp ).
3f. Enter each of these lines into the "IP address or domain name" text box, and hit "ping" after each entry:

;cp${IFS}*/*/nvram${IFS}/tmp/n
;*/n${IFS}set${IFS}boot_wait=on
;*/n${IFS}commit
;*/n${IFS}show>tmp/ping.log


After the last command, a long list of configuration parameters is shown, and it should include:

boot_wait=on

4. Install the firmware.
4a. Return to the http://192.168.1.1/ page.
4b. Click on Adminisration.
4c. Click on Firmware Upgrade.
4d. Find the file that you downloaded in step 3, and let it go.

5. Restart your router and log back into it (192.168.1.1).

6. Disable the Xlink Kai engine on Windows.
6a. Go to the programs folder in your computer.
6b. Open the Xlink Kai folder.
6c. Double click the Kai Config tool.
6d. Uncheck the box that says "Start Engine".

7. Configure your router for your game consoles.
7a. Return to http://192.168.1.1/
7b. Click on Administration.
7c. Enter your XLink username and password in the appropriate text boxes so that it automatically logs you in whenver you start Kai.
7d. For the "Interface" text box:
If your router is a Linksys WRT54G v1.0 & v1.1:
i. Enter "br0" if you have an Xbox & a PSP
ii. Enter "eth2" if you only have a PSP
If your router is a Linksys WRT54G v2.0 & v2.2:
i. Enter " br0" if you have an Xbox & a PSP
ii. Enter "eth1" if you only have a PSP
If your router is a Buffalo WBR-G54:
i. Enter " br0" if you have an Xbox & a PSP
ii. Enter "eth2" if you only have a PSP


8. Make sure your PSP's ad hoc channel is set to "Ch 1".

9. Go to http://192.168.1.1 -> Administration -> Kaid. Bookmark the page.


OK. That's all of the stuff you only need to do once. Now here's how you actually get in a game:

1. Go to the Kaid page.
2. Click "Start Kaid". The Kaid Status should change from "STOPPED" to "RUNNING".
3. Start the XLink Kai UI (It's in the XLink programs folder. It'd be best to make a shortcut for your desktop.) It should automatically log you in.
4. Find the Wipeout Pure room (or whatever game you're trying to play).
5. Start Wipeout Pure on your PSP, go to Multiplayer mode, and enter your initials. Now the green WiFi light on the left side of your PSP should be on.
6. On the Kaid page, click "Scan PSP". This should change the Wireless Mode from "AP" to "PSP", then change your Current SSID from "linksys" (or whatever your network name is) to "PSP_92H09832", or something like that. If it says "PSP_NOT_FOUND", you screwed up.
7. If one or more people are in the Pure room with you, decide who is going to host the race/tournament. If you're hosting, select Create Single Race or Create Tournament on your PSP, set all of the settings (track, speed, number of players, etc.) until you get to a screen that only has your initials and ship on the left, and a picture of the track/tournament on the right. At this point, whoever wants to join the race should do so by selceting Join Game from the Multiplayer menu. If successful, whoever got into your race will have their initials and ship appear directly underneath yours. Hit X once everyone is ready. Wait for the PSPs to finish synchronizing, then the race will start loading as normal.
8. When you're ready to exit XLink, go to the Kaid page and click "AP Mode" and "Stop Kaid". Clicking "AP Mode" is important so that your other wireless devices can acess the internet.


That should do it. Email me at warhawk256@charter.net if you have any problems.
