can't set up wifi connection for DS
Everytime I attempt to use WFC I get the following message from the settings menu.
IMAGE >> http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/928/12665994gy1.jpg I've had to enter the required info manually (and correctly - i.e. the WEP key, IP address, primary DNS etc.) but I keep getting the same message (in some cases the error code changes but is still within the range). IMAGE >> http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3936/80094065hs5.jpg These are all the options available to me, I've checked a number of topics from this forum and others but I'm still unable to solve the problem.

Whilst the nintendowifi site does not have this dongle on their "router compatability ratings", neither are half the other products that do appear on their support pages (the one where the site tells you how to reconfigure the settings). If it helps im on Windows ME and my ISP is AOL. Are there any people out there with the same system and/or ISP who are able to connect? Please help Jam it back in, in the dark. |

lol I figured those two would be worth mentioning.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
the box reads its only XP compatable.
How ya doing, buddy? |

the box in my hand says it'll work with windows ME. Also I have tried using my phone with the dongle and wifi works with it. Thanks for replying.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Er, you're suppose to use THE Nintendo Wi-Fi dongle or a router to connect your DS online. o.o
And if you do get the dongle, it wouldn't work anyway because you have AOL and Windows ME (bad combo!). Most amazing jew boots |

I know people who can connect without the official nintendo dongle. I've more or less given up on this wifi business for now anyway...
FELIPE NO |
Did you try ad-hoc instead of Access Point?
Do you have internet connection sharing on? Can you do a MAC bridge between your wired connection and your wireless one? Disclaimer: I've never done this before What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Do you even have a wireless router in the first place? You don't need any adapter or the Nintendo dongle if you already have a wireless router to connect to. If you have a wired connection only, you need to use the Nintendo WiFi dongle (or a similar bridge adapter), which is not a WLAN adapter (the thing you bought).
How ya doing, buddy? |
