Many thanks I'll give that a try.
The other thing that happens is that another Acess Point must be very near by and my PSP sees this nearby signal as 100%. When I loaded up the Zydas software and opened it for the first time it had set its self as a Station and was listing the Acess Point that was nearby. I own up to be a complet novice on wifi, but am wondering if such a strong local signal can be affecting my WIFI Max.

Finally after 3 days I got mine up and running (Window XP Home, NTL USB Modem). I needed to manually enter my IP address into the wireless connection Properties. Then go to the cmd promt screen (START > RUN > TYPE "CMD") and type:

IPCONFIG/RELEASE
ENTER
IPCONFIG/RENEW
ENTER

once this was done it worked fine using automatic setup on the PSP. However evertime I disconnect a session I need to hit the repair button on my wireless connection in order for it to reconnect for
another session. Hope this helps someone casue it drove me insane for hours figureing it out.

Hopefully this will work for me becuse:

NTL
Windows XP Home
Ethernet connection

But then again it seems these fixes only work if the setup is identicle !!!!!!!!!!!!!

ztheman4-It usually says that the signal strength is that much. but maybe your firewall(s) maybe stopping them, so i would disable them all and see if that works. Maybe the ZLdan is not set up to the correct modme. to do that chek it is, by reading the above.

s.s.j- I'm also with blueyonder, if it makes you fell better, i have a SB4200. Dont matter. The Wi-Fi will work all you need to do is keep frequently trying all things in this thread. Mate trust me it will work, but you have to do quite a lot of fiddling, disabling, reparing connections and hard work. =)

try opening your ZDwlan configuration tool at the bottom open it (make sure your in access point) go to more settings then make sure your network mode is on 802.11b authentication mode to open system. on the mac address click settings and disable it. now click on ya wirless network connection (which ever one it is) click the tab at the top then click repair , then try connecting with ya psp , see if that works
Every1 try doing that yet? make sure you try it!!

IF you still have problems, start from scratch and use the guide to set everything up
