Well, this can go in two places, from what I've noticed...

As I'm sure some of you are aware of, I have a new computer, wireless card as well as a wireless router. I'm having no troubles with the router and the computers, but where I am having trouble is:

Connecting my PS3 to the wireless.
Connecting my Wii to the wireless.
Connecting my DS to the wireless.
-----
The Nintendo Error codes that I look up on their support site don't really help me all that much...

I had a USB Adaptor (wireless) for the Wii and DS, but that's not working, either.

So... any help would be highly appreciated in getting the router and systems to coexist with each other and work.

Thanks.

Your DS only supports WEP encryption, so you would need to set your wireless to WEP if you were running say, WPA.

As far as connecting the Wii and the PS3, you do it through the control panels in the system settings of each system and just point it to your SSID and type in your network password. Otherwise, they all just use standard TCP/IP networking.

I don't have WEP or WPA encryption passw3ords turned on, so in other words, my network is currently unsecured.

I've gone through the system network set ups on the Wii and PS3 but they won't connect to the SSID connection. Which is why I'm here asking for help...
 
can anything connect to it? Try unplugging your router, waiting 20 seconds and plug it back in to reboot it.
 
I'll have to give that a try after these pictures upload to Photobucket. I'll post back once I do it and how it works, if it works.
 
Nope... still nothing. Siiigh...

I'm going to bed for the night... I'm done fighting with it for now.
Hope I wake up to some ideas as to how to get it to all work. It's only working for the second computer and nothing else..

Well, so far that's what it seems. "Cannot obtain IP address" etc etc.

The Nintendo support with the error codes keeps telling me to configure my router through their site with the admin log in.
