does this only work 1 ds per compy? I tried it with my older yet better lappy and it stops after the password input and stays at waiting. I'm sure it's the old lappy having a different I.P. and things, but for some reason I can't get it running the same way. so what's your experience with a different compy? here's a guide I wrote on another thread that will help you: if it gets to this stage it means 1. Its successfully connected to your wifi network (Your WFC connection settings are correct) 2. Something is blocking communcations on port 8888 UDP *OR* you are entering the wrong IP address So go to a command prompt and type ipconfig What it says next to "IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . :" is what you should type in. If you have multiple adapters try all the IP addresses listed. Otherwise if you are having trouble connecting look at your 1. Windows firewall 2. 3rd Party Security / Antivirus / Firewall software And either deactivate the firewall (not recommended) or open UDP port 8888 This is pretty much as simple as I can make it, do all this and it is guaranteed to work, provided you have got up to that screen lol, this old compy makes it harder than it should be then, I did ipconfig, pushed ok and a little black box with text comes up for a half second then closes its like this old computer hates me or something, or my ds
