Okay so I JUST got Wifi last night, so I could partake in Pokemon wifi battles.
My problem is I can get to the wifi room and see people I have exchanged Friend Codes with...
But when I talk to them it Attempts to load it or whatever it is doing then the error code 86420 pops up.
i looked it up, it says its prolly the fire wall, otherwise it will just go away by its self.
(I tried turning off my firewall, and all thos other steps nintendo said to do...)

This morrning i FINALLY got a battle, I battled this guy a 4 maybe 5 times.
now its doing it again, and i mean for the past 6 hours ive been tring virtally non-stop and it wont work, except for that one time.
I also tryed last night for about 8 hours and I just cannot get it to work...
It just recently worked for one more battle, now its back to the error code.

When i talk to the person it does the error code, when they talk to me, it says ____ failed to responed...

ANY suggestions would help!

Please PM/VM me. thanks.

I know this might seem a bit simple and stupid but take the power out of your router and then start it up again.

If not on the router settings (which should be under 192.168.0.1 in your web browser on a computer on the network.) check that your DS is a registered device on the network otherwise there might be some security conflicts that could be blocking incoming connections.

Other than that cant think of anything... never had this problem. Sorry

@ ktn: If the router is yours, and it's using your internet, then your neighbour shouldn't have any right to put a password on it unless you asked them to password it. If the case is that it's using their internet then you will have to ask them to change it. If it is your internet, your router and they put a password on it, tell them to remove the password or you will alert the authorities, because what they have done is illegal.

@ Dialga812: That error code is because the USB connector is conflicting with your firewall. Here's a link for more info. ~link

I recently started using a new wifi card and now uTorrent keeps showing an error message. It says "Not connectable. A firewall/router is limiting your network traffic. You need to open up a port so others can connect to you." Does anyone know how to make it recognize that the port is open?

I'm using windows xp home sp3.
The firewall I use is NetDefender.
The new wifi card is Sprint Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 Mobile Hotspot.

I tried what it said in the uTorrent section of this thread http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=134506 but that didn't help.

I used the firewall port scanner to check the one uTorrent says it's using and the firewall shows that it's open. Is there something I can do with the settings here? http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9462/portforwarding.png

Also if some one could suggest a router to buy to work with this.

For a while I have been trying to download Darkrai in my Euro Pokemon Platinum, however I reckon this is a problem with the DS.
My home connection has the wrong security settings so I have gone to hotspots to connect. I have found viable hotspots, with good reception and Nintendo WiFi support. I'm fairly sure all information I've entered is correct.
However, when I try to test the connection in the WiFi settings, everything appears fine at first, then the reception bars go to 0 and I fail to connect. I cannot remember the error number and can't get it at this moment, but I remember the message as being something like "You have no IP address". The IP address is set to auto, so I think I should be given one automatically or something. If I need to enter one, I don't know what it is.
I think I remember something ages ago about some number on the bottom of my DS, however I can't see one on the DS itself, and if it's on the sticker on the bottom I'm probably screwed, seeing as that no longer exists.

For the record, I am using an Euro DS and Platinum, and my DS is an original one. I think the hotspot I was trying to connect to was provided by "The Cloud". Also, all this is in the UK.

Please could someone help, there are very few days left to download (I'm lazy I know), all help would be appreciated, and don't hesitate to tell me if I'm doing something stupid.

I'm not sure what your problem is but have you tried using the nintendo wifi's website for help?
Yes, I have. It is no help, and the European forums are down, so I can't ask there.
Bleh, it's the last day of the download, I'll just try it, maybe it was having a bad day or something.

Wifi on my DS just doesn't work. I've done everything I can think of including taking all security off the router and it still won't work.. so I've just given up with it.
Which sort of DS do you have? Cause when I was trying to get on I saw someone using a DS Lite and it looked like they did it fine (if that's what they were doing).

Hiya... I'm not completely sure this is the right place, but I'm so sick of failed trades and I don't even dare to imagine how things are going to be once I start wanting to battle people on WiFi! I seem to be able to trade and connect fine to some people, but to most my connection actually times out and one of us gets disconnected. This happens so often I can surely say it's not a problem on their side. With the few people I can connect to, it works absolutely fine.

I'm using a Belkin N Wireless router, the firewall is turned off, I've changed the connection speed to 20MHz thinking that might be making a difference.. but it did no good.. I've also tried to check my DS details and manually put in IP adresses, gateways etc but still no improvement.

I don't know what else to do and considering buying one of those wireless USB adaptor things.. however I heard bad things about them too .. -_-'

Again, connection and trading works fine with some people, with most people it does not work at all and ends up with disconnecting either the one responding to the trade, or me if I respond to someone elses trade and tells me "failed to respond".

Adding info: I'm in the UK, strangely enough it works perfectly in the GTS in game. lol It's just when connecting to certain other people in trades etc that it wont work.. -_-' And I'm normally always next to the router, and there's no mention on the nintendo WiFi sites about my router being neither compatible nor incompatible..

goto www.nintendowifi.com and see if it's on the list of compatible/Usable but doesen't disconnect routers
if it's not, buy a nintendo DS wifi USB

I have gone through the same thing as you, so the USB is the only way.

You have to make sure all the Info is put in. When you connect to your wireless router, and the test is successful, It normally should work. I would suggest re-installing your router, and try again. Then when trading try to keep as close as possible to your router.

If this doesn't work contact your manufacturer and they may help. The wifi USB isn't the best, I've always preferred normal routers to those.

How far away are you when you're attempting to connect to the router? Mine is weird - if I sit in my bed it can't pick up the router at all, if I stand by my door I get two signal bars, but if I stand right next to the router my DS even denies its existence. (It's a juggling act when I'm trying to battle Dx - I get the same 'failed to respond' message).

How's your thirst for adventure, Captain?
