    Does it work at any other wireless connection other than the McDonalds?

    I live in Australia, and I didn't even know you could get a wireless connection at McDonalds.

    It doesn't hurt to ask the workers or manager at McDonalds what the problem is.

    So...

    Does it work at any other wireless points? Is this McDonalds the only one it doesn't work at?

    Does the McDonalds access point use WEP? If not, you won't be able to connect unless you either have a DSi or the access point isn't encrypted at all.

    I think I might move closer to McDonalds and get me some free internet on my laptop. :p

    The DS wifi, in my belief, only works on a wifi router with "IEEE 802.11b/g". In my opinion, McDonalds wifi does not support that if you failed to connect to it.

    I, myself, have a wireless router with a wep key and it runs smoothly when I try to go wifi.

    I use the good old Nintendo Wifi USB Connector for my DS and Wii needs. Never given me a problem.

    I bought mine from EBgames early last year, or even the year before. I heard it got discontinued, but I'm sure you could find one on Ebay. It's such a great device, that all you need to do is put it in a USB port and it gives you a wireless access point for your DS and Wii.

    I'm sorry, but if I were you I'd give up with the whole McDonald's thing. I'd get a wireless router, or you could go to Ebgames and use their free connection.

    You live in Australia right? I use bank deposit when I buy via Ebay. All you need is a bank close by and money :p

    Make sure you sign up for a free account on Ebay first. Then go to the page where the item you want to bid or buy is and scroll down the page until you see "Payment Options". If it supports Bank Deposit than you can bid for the item.

    Using bank Deposit is great for someone like me. All you have to do is have the details of the seller's bank account (Which you will recieve once you win the bid) and pay for the item at the Commonwealth Bank. Then you will recieve the item like normal through mail.

    That's not the case here in Australia. I just bought an item off Ebay via Bank Deposit.

    Take a look at this item on ebay.

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SKIES-OF-ARCADIA-SEGA-DREAMCAST-COMPLETE-A_W0QQitemZ370237137340QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_PC_Video_Games_Games?hash=item5633da61bc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

    Notice how the payment method supports Bank Deposit, just like 90% of other items I see.
