Error 86420, I presume?

How do you connect to WiFi? If you use the USB Connector, try to use the connector without the included extension cord. It's worked for me, oddly enough.

I use a router, not the usb

airconditioning July 27th, 2008 9:33 PM

Oh. Sorry, then, I have no idea.

St. Anger July 28th, 2008 1:58 PM

Dang it, if my wifi was an annoying person, i'd choke it.

Anyone Having Trouble With Nintendo WiFi?
 
Greetings all,

For the past few days I've been having a trouble doing anything wifi with my Pokemon Diamond.
I have all 3 green bars lit up and connection is successful, but it stays frozen on trying to log me on.
Is it my game or everyone else, too?
Thank you all! ^^

I can't get on. When searching for a connection I have full bars for about 20 seconds. Then it suddenly drops to none and I get a 4200 error.

My Wi-Fi is just plain old stuffed up. All bars are lite and everything. Then when i get on and i challenge someone or/and trade with someone it freezes. It is very annoying.

evilmagikarp94 August 5th, 2008 11:53 AM

Mine is fine maybe America's is down

Belinda August 5th, 2008 1:05 PM

Sometimes I may have some problems simalar to you, but not often. This can happen because your router if your using one,may not be connected correctly and this could be the case,or if your using your computer with a usb cable plugged in sometimes it will not work correctly. Most likely causes usb cable not plugged in correctly,not connected to the internet on your pc,and wi-fi may be having some problems.

Will a multiple selection of wifi dongles work other than the nintendo branded one? I'm after one but on a tight budget, and I've read in places that the nintendo one is quite awkward messing about with. Saying that I used to have a dongle and it was a right pain until I got used to it. Basically, can I get any dongle and set it up so itll work with my DS?

Also does it work with windows vista or do i need xp?

Yeah they aren't too hard to find...then just set it up. if you want to connect to your wifi on your DS, go into the Nintendo Wifi settings at the title screen.

Well, my problem is that I've now had my DS for about 3 weeks, thus completing all of the standard Pokemon Pearl (only getting all obtainable legendaries, elite four and such) but now I've got my Pal Park... and I'd like to trade online with my Wi-Fi, as I don't have a game slot for advance games for my DS and I can't find any of my old games.

Anyway, the problem is, i've been trying to connect my DS to it's wi-fi for those 3 weeks that I've owned it. I've looked everywhere on nintendo's wi-fi internet page and nothing seems to help. I've tried to reset my router to get sufficient settings that I apparently need to connect up, but i can't seem to reset it and my mother has no idea where the router booklet that we have (NETGEAR), is. Now, the other day i tried to put in all of the correct settings for the IP, subnet mask, gateway and all that jazz... but it didn't work. So, another method I tried was using the search option to find what other portals I could use... but the ones it found were unsuitable and not in Nintendos list of security abled options. If you get me. So, I'm sitting here with a DS i can't use on wi-fi and i really would like all the 488+ pokemon :(

it's really frustrating as i no longer know how to obtain my primary and secondary DNS.

lilliwn August 29th, 2008 6:50 PM

You can read the Diamond/Pearl manual starting page 28,
there's very detailed guide on how to setup and use wifi....

Detox August 29th, 2008 6:57 PM

Well I myself use a router,but you can get a ...usb......thingy.......

Lily Mew August 29th, 2008 10:33 PM

Don't do that! That's not very nice. Well, it depends - there is one of three ways, I think.

1. Use a USB Port that hooks into your Nintendo DS (you can buy this at walmart.com) if you don't have DSL.

2. If you have DSL, you need a router. A router can use the signal and bounce it all around your house - so you could be in the bedroom and probably get a signal.

3. I think there is a way to get on wifi on wii, but since I don't own an actual Wii, I don't know, except it deals with cards for $10 and up.
