start with process of ilimination...
do you have other wifi prodocts .. a pc? does it get it's dhcp from the router correctly?
on a cmd prompt if you type ipconfig /renew does it update from the netgear..
if yes proceed..
do you have wep enabled on the netgear ?
have you told the psp to use wep? and remember it gets entered in hex not pass phrase <--(plaintext)
this is prolly wots wrong as the psp cant understand what the netgear is sending..
you dont have to use dhcp ... if the netgears ip is say ...
192.168.0.1 and yer pc gets a dhcp of say 192.168.0.100
then you could set the psp to manual ...say 192.168.0.150
subnet 255.255.255.0 and default gateway of 192.168.0.1
to test the wifi im including a product called netstumbler its a wifi sniffer we use in war driving ... run this ap on yer pc.. it should return the netgear in its list.. then as a test goto gamesharing on the psp and run it..
