DS Misc > how to bridge a wireless connection?

#71148 - adrian783 - Fri Feb 10, 2006 4:43 pm

say if i want to play ds through a wireless network, but then the network requires login and/or wpa, but i use a nintendo wifi connector

do i have to masnually switch the sharing every time? (well..which doesnt seem to work)

or is it possible that i can create something that both my lan and wireless go throught that could utilize the nintendo wifi connector?

In your access point's access control configuration, specify that Nintendo brand devices (use the first 3 octets of your DS's MAC address) don't have to use WPA or the captive portal. If you do not control the access point that you wish to use, then you'll have to wait until TCP, SSL, and w3m are ported to the DS.
