Wifi help

Hmmm... It's gotta be somewhere. Try looking in your program files or appdata directories. You're sure it isn't showing up somewhere in your all programs list?

 

No no, i can find it and open it but i can't get the program to go into preferences...
Its basically an icon in the corner right of my taskbar.
And whenever i right click it, the only option i'm getting is Exit.

Its like the rest of the program is missing or something..
I got the program to work downstairs on my laptop....
But the laptop runs on XP so i hope that it's not Windows 7, thats being an ass.

 

I think there's a way to run programs in XP compatibility mode in 7. I'm not sure exactly how to do that, though. I don't have much experience in Win7 besides a simple install. But anyway, try to find an option like that somewhere and see if that makes a difference.

 

I tried compatibilty mode... but to no avail... same thing... i guess i wasted my money... kinda depressing really, haha.

 

Well I found a driver for the 703A for Windows 7 32-bit.

After a little digging I found that this USB adapter doesn't seem to be compatible with 64-bit 7/Vista. Lame >_<

--edit--

This may actually be the very same drivers... sigh...

 

Hey man, don't worry about... you're so nice for taking the time to help me out these couple of hours...
I'll just have to figure out how to get it to work tomorrow on my laptop... It's not that bad.. if i can get it to work there, i can at least USE it to go on wifi to trade or battle.

I'll be here tomorrow again, and i'll update the thread... ill definitely will need some help getting it to work there... and please god, i hope it will..haha!

 

Well if you have 32-bit XP on that laptop then it will probably work out. And it's no problem helping, I just wish we coulda gotten somewhere.

 

haha you and me both!

Okay got the program to work on my laptop... did what you told me to do... what should i set my SSID to?

Ok so far i figured out SSID is actually the name of the acces point..

Now i have it in my list whenever i look for an acces point on my DS.
So i know im really close to getting it to work now, the only problem im running into right now is the problem of me not being able to to connect to the access point.

I set my wep key to my phone number, like you did... now i think what i need to do is tell the program to allow my connection... right?

 

As long as the thing is running you should be able to connect. If you've set up the connection on your DS, found the access point's name and entered the WEP key and everything, you should be done. Try connecting to GTS or something.

 

Does it matter that the laptop is on wireless?

i noticed that both the Throughput Packets/sec's TX and RX are on 0... is it supposed to be like that?

 

Nah. The adapter software should take care of any routing necessary.

 

Damn, i still can't in... it's like something is blocking me

I can find the acces point... wep key is entered but when i try to test it out, it wont work.
Went to GTS and no luck there either... something must be blocking it.

lets summon up what i got so far.

SSID: NintendoDS
Network type: AD-Hoc
AD-hoc channel: 1
Transmit rate: auto
Network Authentication: Open
Data Encryption: WEP
Format for entering key: Hexidecimal digits
Key index: 1
Key length: 64bits
Network key: **********
Confirm network key: **********

 

Man... I'm thinking about this and can't come up with anything in my limited experience. I'm not sure if bridging the connections would work but it may be worth a try.

Is there anyone else around here that has any ideas? I'm pretty much at the end of my knowledge.

 

This is why I STEAL my neighbours connection!

 

harubi i got mine working today dude all i done was disable all other internet connections and changed the channel from 0 to 1 and disabled wep keys etc and now mine wors how this helps mate

 

Woah, woah. Don't disable WEP. That would be a totally open wireless access point. Anyone could use it then.

 

woah woah.. dude i mean on the usb stick and its only powerfull wenough for wii and nds so he wouldnt have to worry unl;ess he lived in a flat or sumtin

 

Yeah true. But you could just turn off the security whenever you want to use it for the DS. It's sort of a pain but that's what I do. I just change my router to WEP whenever I want to connect to like, GTS or something and then change it back when I'm done.
