I have a wireless Telefonica router box, which provides my internet, however i cannot seem to get the Nintendo DS wifi working (online play), which I really want! I have a PC, and I am not sure how to se up the DS so it can connect to our wireless internet point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

have you tried reseting the wifi router? Turn it off for one minute then plug it back in and try connecting your ds again.

Is there a WEP key or password that your other computer requires to access the net? Have you had any luck connecting your DS to wifi before?

I would have thought, speaking as a novice, that the first thing that you need to establish is whether the router is providing a DHCP service or if you need to configure the DS with a fixed IP.

If your PC is already using the wireless router, then the configuration of the PC should provide the information that you need.

We have no passwords for our internet, no WEP key or any other kind. I have tried using the PC configuartion but it gives me an error.
I’ll try it now and see what error it gives.
