Wi Fi problems

[WazMeister]

got a WI-FI Link thing Dongle.

Not offical Nintendo one, but its a gooden as others have got it.


Basicly installed drivers then pluged in USB like manual said.



Installed it all and its on my computer working wirelessly and connected.

I use ADSL USB internet so at first I was worried if it work, as I'm used to Broadband by RJ45. Anyway its worked and I had Tony Hawks connect and play a few games.

But now it fails most times, I just got Mario Kart and it wont worK!


I've not changed nothing and its pissing me off.

I turned off all WEP encriptions, firewall off on the wireless and it still wont workl!??!


When I setup a connection with the DS it finds it, and has full bars for connection. Then it gets to testing the connection and just fails!!!!!!!!

Error 52000 cant find IP!.

I enterd in the IP manually on the DS and the subnet mask but I don't have any gateway or DNS ips on the wireles to put on the DS manually.


My setup is basicly the Wi-Fi dongle in USB, installed fine etc.
ADSL Tiscali internet thru USB.

No router.

Whats going on
Currently the Wirelss is working fine Strength Excellent and connected.

The wireless when DS seeks it goes to Signal Excellent, but once it tries to test the connection it fails.
Whats up?!?!?!



What must I do to get the DS working with Wi FI?!?!?!


Thanks

How are your sharing the internet from the USB modem to the USB wifi?

[WazMeister]

Under network options under the tiscali internet propaties I click Advanced and tick Share network with other devices etc.

Used that for my 360 was fine.

Had this working fine but now it just seems to be bugging out..

DS finds it, but testing it buggers right up.

Just did a test.

Did not connect to the net and the WI FI still connected?!?!

So i got my DS out and scanned and it found the WI FI.... Even though I had not internet access.

So when it came to testing the Wi FI on the DS it still failed.... like useal.

I'm guessing its failing becaise te WI FI connection dongle is connected but not to the NET.

How do i get it to the net?

Well remember that Wifi and internet are 2 seperate things - when you go to share your internet, you normally have to choose which device you are sharing it to, make sure its still set to share to the USB Wireless as if you unplugg it and stuff it might forget these settings?

Not sure what I did but what ever I did got it workign!

Think i chose to share with the WifI

Thanks man!
