hey everyone im about to shit my pants to get the psp on the 24th but my question is what about enetering in the IP address and all that stufff, will it automatally find and IP adrees or what?

Its anyones guess to be honest. Past posts stated that you had to manually place the IP in for it to be seen. Most of those systems were the japanese ones so it might be different for the US release.

It depends on how you are connecting to the internet. If you are connecting through a wireless access point or router to an ISP that dishes out IP addresses (via DHCP) you need to set it to Automatic. This is what I have done and it works fine. You can easily tell what to do, by using a laptop with a wireless card or centrino. If that is configured to obtain the IP address automatically, that is what you should do with the PSP (this is most common with most ISPs. Occasionally you will have to configure an IP address manually but this is less common. let me know what kind of internet connection you have and i'll try and help.
