Answer
Gday Ashish,

Your problem is really you have no access to wireless router to access the Internet.  (thus your PC nor your PSP can access it wirelessly)  Just because your Notebook has the capability of wireless does not automatically mean it will connect up.  It has to have a wireless router or wireless access point for it to work.  You need an Internet service for all that to happen as well which it would like you don't.

However if you have a hardwire Internet.  (IE access thru DSL, Cable or Satellite via a cat 5 wire)  You might be able to turn your Laptop onto a wifi hotspot via bridging the connection.  There are a number of guides to bridge you network connection.

But firstly you need Internet service.  Once you have that the simplest thing would be go and get a wireless router and you problem would be solved.

Hope this helps.
