i saw that someone posted a guide a while back but on a Vista Laptop im using its a bit different and i cant follow the same steps :S as in i cant check the network settings the same way >.<

does anyone else have a vista laptop to tell me how they set theirs up?

or did u not need to set it up and u can just connect from there? cuz my Xlink is being dum and wont work aswell lol

Vista, okay.

thats the thing, can i not connect it to the laptop's wifi card? or does it NEED the wifi dongle?

[Zarode]

Have fun.

ok i got it to work i THINK. it keeps closing by itself randomly saying "you are unreachable- please check port forwarding"

[Zarode]

That's what it means, literally. Make sure that port 30000 is open.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am wondering if someone might know if I did everything right... I followed EVERY instruction, including the forwarding ports. On XLink Kai, it does say "reachable: Yes" and "Found Consoles: PSP", so it appears that everything should be running just fine... but in XLink Kai, on the side with the "Select a player to view his profile" area, everyone has little bars under their name. I would assume that it is signal strength or something, but my name doesn't have the little bar. I've tried connecting to join a game in multiple areas, but I can't seem to find one. Any advice??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or if you are on XLink now, I am in the PSP English section. Chatting would work, too.

The guide that Zarode posted is best, used that to get kai working on my new computer. (Vista)
