VPN Internet connection with Ps3 / Psp. How can this work?

[Tracy L]

Well, how are you connected to the University, dialup? If that is the case, this wont work! Your VPN will only work as fast as your internet connection, so even if you "DIAL" the university you will still be on a DIALUP line! Sorry no speed increase over your in home connection..

A VPN simply allows connection to a remote "private" network, it does not increase the bandwidth available in your home! In fact in many many cases a VPN will actually SLOW the internet connection as you now route to the school and then to the internet!

If you are connected Wirelessly to the school then you could add a second wireless adapter to your pc (attached to the ethernet port - these are called wireless bridges) then use your local wifi in AD-HOC mode to connect to the WII and use ICS (internet connection sharing) on your PC to share the internet connection. BUT you still have to find out if the University will even allow the WII to work, many schools shut off gaming ports to save bandwidth for ... well school use!

Good Luck - Hope that helps.

Edit:
Thought of one other thing, If you have highspeed internet and are using your computer to access the VPN but don't have local internet you can always use Internet Conncetion sharing on your desktop. Just connect your PSP to a second ethernet card on your computer and use ICS... But if you already have internet why would you worry about a VPN?
