I got a DS at the weekend and got mario kart with it. The DS is having problems finding my wireless network. Im trying to play cames over the net so i need 2 conect to my wireless network but my DS wont find it, its really wierd cos my PSP finds it with no problem, any ideas?
P.s i would have posted this in Cycovision PC help thread but i think its a bit different.
Thanks

Oh right. Well with Belkin ones you type 192.168.2.1 into the address bar and from there you can alter settings.

They're not using two different standards are they? 802.11b and 802.11g?

Got this from the web site
"Wireless Communication: IEEE 802.11 and Nintendo's proprietary format; wireless range is 30 to 100 feet, depending on circumstances; multiple users can play multiplayer games using just one DS game card"
My router is a 802.11g (i think) but arnt the 2 able 2 work 2gether? |

'IEEE 802.11 and Nintendo's proprietary format'
I think this could be the issue, if your router doesn't support Nintendo's proprietary format (whatever that is!) then it would explain everything.
I'm only guessing though

Set it to 802.11b, not mixed mode, as that's what the DS will work with.
(The Proprietary format is the one used by the USB dongle)
