Computers & the Wii?

We are pulling our hair out trying to connect my grandsons Wii to the internet. The router we are using is a Livebox by Orange-Wannadoo..We have a laptop connecting a O.K, But the Wii will not connect.Have done all the right things, wep nu to allow access, but everytime the message comes back that its locked.Speaking to Wannadoo about this was a waste of space, i don't think they understands there own product, In bearly understandable English he came up with the old Acorn that the computers were down, whats that got to do with some advice i don't know..Anybody out there with the intelligence to sort this problem out...We did turn off the firewire whilst trying to connect, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Computers %26 the Wii?ducati



Hi, good answer from the guy abve, he's the only one who really knows what he's talking about apart from me of course and what is the first guy on about with $200 for a wireless bridge. I got mine for 拢25.



I haven't got a Wii but I have got a 360 which connects wirelessly. Wii comes with wireless as standard I believe.



First thing is make sure that your router is set up as a dchp server although if you are clever you can work round this. DCHP is easiest as it alocates an IP address automatically when you try to connect.



On your Wii also ensure that in network setting (If it's like my xbox) that it is aslo set up to obtain IP and DNS address automatically.
