DS development > wmb.exe says waiting, but the DS never sees anything...

#78587 - sofakng - Sat Apr 08, 2006 5:03 am

Let me start off by saying the wmb.exe v1.0 WORKS but none of the other versions do. The problem is that v1.0 doesn't let me specify the name of a file to upload... (or does it?)

The other versions (more specifically, v1.4 beta 1) says "Sending multiboot beacons & waiting for authentication" but the DS won't see it what-so-ever.

I know it's not a problem with my network card (WMP54G v4) because wmb v1.0 works.

Has anybody else had this problem? Does anything else know how to fix it?

Also, the echo test program also does not work... (the program runs sucessfully but the DS does not see it)

I've only ever used v1.4, but every once in a while my DS has a hard time finding it. Usually only takes about 5 seconds or so, but sometimes it will just sit there for 5 or 10 minutes first. Probably not the most helpful response, but maybe yours was just having a bad day :)

Yeah, that happens to me too. I get download errors pretty much every time if another DS in the house is using NWFC, but they connect to the wireless router while I use a wifi card in my PC for WMB (and nothing else).

Try changing the channel...
It defaults to 7, and maybe your channel 7 is overloaded with something..

sometimes, that helps (at least for me)
