hey guys. my friend and i just went out and bought slim psps today at best buy. it came with the latest version of sony's firmware, so we got our friend to use his phat psp and make a pandora battery / magic memory stick. we downgraded both our psps to use custom firmware so we can run firmware and everything. it all works perfectly. however, i have some questions about wireless connectivity.

i go to college and so there is wireless access throughout campus / the dorms. however, to get onto the network you have to connect and then when you open up a browser you are redirected to a login page in which you enter your university id / password. you can't use the internet until you do this.

this is fine if i'm just using sony's built in web browser, because i can easily log on every time i want to connect. however, if i try to run psptube, it can't connect to youtube or anything because it doesn't know to redirect me to a login screen first.

i also fear that in games, i won't be able to connect wirelessly, because the game won't redirect me to a log in page for the wireless network.

i know people must have run into this problem before, is there any solution? thanks.

(adding a wep key in the network config wouldn't work ... since that's not the problem. there is no wep key for the network. its a separate login page).

thanks a ton!
