You are using wireless, right? You could always get the Ninendo WFC usb dongle for your computer to leach off its internet. Or the wire internet cable for Wii will do too.

There's a special usb adaptor you can you for Wii that will let you connect an enternet cable to it.
I did, but I wasn't sure what to say really. |

If you are using wireless connection, you will most likely have to configure it manually for the primary and secondary DNS servers. To find out your primary/secondary DNS numbers, you have to contact your ISP or login to your server configuration (your PC DNS server is it) and go through whatever section that indicates DNS servers. From there, it's pretty blatant, copy down your primary/secondary and punch it into your console.
DO NOT use your PC's DNS server because that is different than your primary/secondary. Microsoft PCs were designed to automatically configure itself when an update occurs whether it's wired or wireless connection to your router, it is just the way Microsoft has it manufactured/designed in which I can not explain. One thing is certain is that majority of PCs already run on DHCP which automatically receives IP addresses and DNS servers while consoles that are wireless are static which you have to punch in your primary/secondary DNS server and most likely obtain an IP address. If for some reason you do not obtain an IP address (which is highly doubtful) just punch in your PC's IP address. I'm pretty sure my words are poorly put together, maybe another IT professional who somehow stumbles upon this thread can elaborate my post to be more simple... But in my head it makes sense, hopefully it makes sense to you, James. |

QUOTE (James @ Nov 2 2009, 08:08 PM)  Yeah... I'm sure what you wrote was wonderful, I am just...unable to understand it Which part in specific? If it's the DNS part, you can see where you can punch it in when you manually configure wireless connection. If you don't know how to get your primary and secondary DNS, you need to talk/call to whoever configured the internet connection, and they will find out for you. If anything, just call Nintendo's technical support, I'm positive someone will give you step by step on how to gain internet access on your Wii. |
