Cheers

I've used WEP with a long string key.

One of the first thing it will want to do is download updates. Add weather and news channels and send ya emails.

Now all I need to do is to get it to use a USB keyboard and it would be sweet.

It did take me a while to try and get it to communicate with the router since I'm fairly new to wireless.

The actual connecting of the wireless was like most other things like that (psp, etc), I went into connection settings and it just scanned for it, found it and connected.

It did update first thing, and it does take a while to finish.

Anyway, it's now connected and everything is working fine :)
