Which sucks, since the DS is the one I want to get online with. My wireless router works great with the PSP. What the hell am I doing wrong? Can anyone send me to a link that will walk me though this. The PSP was just like BOOM, online. This? No way... HELP! I want to play Mario Kart with you fine folks.

you got a WEP key set on the device?

does the DS find the access point at all? did you setup a connection for it in mario kart?

I had the same problem, my router is set for DHCP and everyother device connects perfectly except for the DS. It would detect the ssid and asked for the wep key, even my router could see it and it assigned it an ip address, although when i did a test connection on the DS it came back saying that it couldn't get an ip. The way round i found was to input the network setting manually: ip, subnet, gateway and dns were all needed to work, but as soon as i did this it worked.

Give it a go.

If you have a netgear, well, like me youre fucked. They dont work with the DS at all. It can connect to WFC, but you cant actually play the game online. UDP errors.

opposite for me in the PSP area but I'll tell you what I did...I disabled the Wep (fer a few moments), let the DS or PSP make a IP off of it, put the WEP back on, input SSID and WEP key and auto the thing and ta da my psp worked online.

I just hope it works for you.

Fuck all this shit...

I have a Netgear and getting online with the DS isn't a top priority...

So I have no clue why I said "Fuck this shit"

Maybe out of spite...

My Netgear DG824M works perfectly with both PSP and DS.
