can anyone help me on getting this to work cuz i hav tryed everything...

r4ds+win2ds o.8a touble on loading after inputing the ip of host pc...

i hav 0.8e now...

I've got a R4DS and it works fine - try going to Control Panel -> Windows Firewall

Click on the Exceptions tab, then click Add Port, enter Win2DS for the name, and 8888 for the port then make sure TCP is selected and click OK.

Provided your wifi is set up (using DSOrganize or a Nintendo Wifi Connection game) it should work fine.

You might want the latest version as well (0.8e)

just got the latest version and my firewall was off and is now on with the thing monkeynz suggested..
it still doesnt work

Are you using a wireless router? or do you just have a wireless card in the PC?

i got a wireless router... do i need a wireless card in my pc to make this work? cuz in that case... i would say screw it

No, you don't. If your computer is connected to the internet thru a LAN cable, then your set.

its caonnected using a cable yeah... my ds2win still doesnt work

can you browse web pages in DSOrganize?

another thing to try is downloading the wifi test tool, and making sure you can connect.

if either of these fail, then you need to set up your wifi properly - make sure channel is 10 and WPA is NOT turned on.

Other things reported to help is limiting the speed to 2mbps on the wireless settings of the router.

it can connect useing dso and any other wifi program

ah ok, make sure you are connecting to the right ip address - go to command prompt and type ipconfig

my ip ends with .2 and i cant do that in ds2win so i put in .200

LOL well thats your answer right there...

try putting in .002 instead =)

i entered the right ip and it still stays on connecting status wait...
i also hav 0.8f now

what antivirus software are you using? some of them like norton/pccillin have a built in firewall (try turning off worm protection)

im sorry i didnt see that u replyed that .200 should have been .002
that fixed the problem...
thanks alot
is there anything i can do for u.... (win2ds is really slow) it rearly updates the screen

Thats great, I'm really glad you got it working chriss, after our attempts =)

To speed up win2ds, make sure antivirus ignores JPG files (won't be needed in the next version, as I use memory streams instead of saving to disk)

Also turn full screen updates to SLOW or OFF and leave zoomed screen updates on ULTRA or FASTER to get really fast updates for zoomed screen (or vice versa).

Try not to run other programs that use a lot of CPU power at the same time on the PC that is hosting win2ds for optimum speed.

I've added a section in the new help file so other people confused about entering IP addresses will benefit from your trouble =)

ill be waiting for the new update =) i need it for it not to be so laggy for me

and i cant turn my virus scanner off its mcafee...
I hate it but i bought it so...

try right clicking on the system tray icon (by the clock at the lower right hand corner of the screen) and checking either options to turn off JPG extension scanning, or turn off virus-shield or whatever its called.

u cant do that with mcafee
