PSP on UCD wireless network

Fr. Larry Duff

Hi

I know there's been quite a few threads on this subject but none of them have solved my problem which is basically that I can't surf the internet on the UCD network via my PSP.

I can connect to the access point, get an IP address and then.............the request to the server times out......no internet connection whatsoever!

I know that you have to manually enter network proxy settings on the PSP and I've tried all the following but to no avail:

proxy.ucd.ie, port 8484
proxy4.ucd.ie, port 8484
proxy6.ucd.ie, port 8585
proxy7.ucd.ie, port 8484
proxy2.ucd.ie, port 8585
proxy8.ucd.ie, port 8585
proxy5.ucd.ie, port 8484
proxy9.ucd.ie, port 8585
proxy1.ucd.ie, port 8484

Getting my PSP connected is by no means central to my further education now but still it would be nice:).

Any help is much appreciated!

Dave!

Can you choose 'automatically select proxy for this network', or something to that effect? Try that.

Otherwise:

The url is apparantly: http://proxy.ucd.ie/proxy.pac

Hi Dave

Unfortunately there's no option to automatically detect proxy settings, they have to to be specified manually. I've tried entering http://proxy.ucd.ie/proxy.pac but no joy......

I can use the PSP on my home network and any hotspots anywhere else in Dublin but just not in UCD. I also know that iPhones and the like work fine using the proxy settings specified on UCD's website......

Dave!

huh, strange!

Well in that case your best bet would be to go to the IT support place in the Daedalus building. You walk in the door, and it's on your right-hand side (in the laptop room).

They'll take a look at it and hopefully provide a remedy!

Fr. Larry Duff

already tried it!

they were really helpful, but couldn't figure out what I was doin wrong!

just checking to see if anyone else out there has had the same issue.....

It doesn't work with my ds but I've never tried seeking help. I've just assumed that UCD blocked them to stop people using them for gaming

Fr. Larry Duff

No I don't think that's it because when I went into Daedalus about it the guy there really tried to help me out but just couldn't figure out why it wouldn't connect......sigh.....
