thanks for the reply. yes i have that now.Its the network key as it is called in the manual. i have entered both ssid and network key in for the playstation and it works now.
But my pc still wont accept the network key,password. On screen it says to enter a network key or a wep.This is the password i believe,it has to be exactly 5 or 13 characters long and the password i got is only six.
the playstation seems to be working ok now,Im online and can play fifa,although black ops wont go beyond the lobby and I have a 30mb connection I asume it should be strong enough
as for the pc Im still lost.If i call out the tech guy he'll charge for it.Im sure if i spend some time googling and messing round with it I might figure it out,
