Hi,

How would I disable or block internet access on a PSP?

We only let our children use the internet supervised, but one of them has worked out how get access on their PSP (via a neighbours' unsecured Wi-Fi) and has been visiting adult sites.:eek:

As yet, we have been unable to work out who has the unsecured Wi-Fi, but what we really want to be able to do is disable the internet access or Wi-Fi on the PSP. Parental controls on the PSP don't seem to cover this.

Kids eh ? I have a nephew who has been circumventing net restrictions with proxy servers , and hes only 9.
Once they get that clever its a real arms race and anything you can do will most likely be worked around in no time flat , unfortunately.

You will most likely have to take away the PSP and anything with net access to be totally sure.

Edit , I just found this ....

The latest update apparently lets you block internet access with a password .... its all internet access, theres no way to block single sites.

However ,its only a four digit password , all numbers , so dont be surprised if he cracks it before long !!

Thanks Andy,

Just the info I needed.

We are going to change the password to a new random number every week. Whilst it may be possible to find it after a few hundread attempts, I'm sure he will get board of having to go through that every week.
 
I have this all to come with 2 young kids.

Maybe its worth telling the neighbour that their network is totally unsecure and "even your 9 year old lad" can connect. May be a risky move, but it would help them and stop your problem. If its not a PSP connecting then a mobile with wireless or pc could also find the connection.
