Just got one of these today and im not having much luck setting it up,i get 100% signal but when i try to go online i get an error message.

"communication with the server failed a DNS error has occurred
(80410410).


Have any of you got this device yourself and would be able to walk me through it?
I really am stumped here and ive been trying for a few hours now,im close to going postal.

Ok, so what firmware do you have?

At the moment i have 2.00. Im getting a 100% signal from the wifi max but cant get an ip number.Ive been at this all day im getting quite upset now.
If anyone can help me sort this out i will be their slave.
I am that desperate.

Ok, well when you try to get your connection, do you scan for it or enter it manually, because I suggest you scan for it, and then make sure there is no password for it.

i dont have it but my guess is that that u either have 2 hook it up through your routher or throught your cable/dsl line and c if ur comp reckonizes it as a device or sumthin like that.
EDIT:I found this on google

At last, you can connect your PSP to the internet easily, cheaply and wirelessly! With WiFi MAX, a whole world of online gaming is opened, and you can also manage your files and surf the net from almost anywhere in the house.

WiFi MAX for PSP couldn't be simpler to use. Just plug your USB WiFi dongle into your internet-enabled PC to create a Wireless Access Point. You can then connect to the internet and play online-enabled multiplayer games with PSP gamers from all over the world. Just the thing if you don't have a wireless router! Best of all, WiFi MAX supports up to five 'local' PSP gamers at a time, so you and your mates can all play online at once!

As well as multiplayer games, WiFi MAX also lets you organise your media files and download them to your PC using our exclusive MAX Media Server software.

Thanks anyway folks,ive given up on it.Im sure ill get it working evetually but its no biggie at the moment.

okay dude,
i MAY be able to help you.
is your wireless router made by Linksys?

dns error is it cant connect to ur isp's dns server which gets you to the internet, might wanna check ur dsl or cable is connected, not physicaly but throught the firmware. To check go to network connections> right click the lan (wired) or if u comp is wireLESS right click the wireless connection and click status, then then click support then look for the default gateway number. Default is 192.168.1.1 but urs can be different, after u get it, type it in to ur address bar like http://192.168.1.1 using ur number tho to get into the firmware and see of the dsl/cable says connected. If not or it just wont work call ur isp, they can fix that prob so ur router will connect to the internet.

Cheers,ill have a look at it later today.Fingers crossed.

yea, i was just gonna suggest going to that url, thats why i asked if he was with linksys
