    Got a problem, don't know whether anyone can help but basically,

    I have a wifi usb dongle in my PC, so that i can share internet with other devices in my home.

    I have a PSP and DS that is being used in the household. they work with the dongle.. the psp connects to the internet, so you can surf net on it, and play games on it. Yet, my laptop refuses to work with it? Saying there is "Limited or no connectivity" Anyone got any idea's? Laptop's should work with it. Laptop is Below...

    Doesn't that laptop come with a built in wifi? That could be why and also could be you need to install drivers in order for the device to work?
