Using your neighbor's Wifi without their permission is illegal.

Please explain what happened when you tried to use your own Wifi in detail.

You have set up your WiFi settings on the game's end, and verified they are correct, right?

Also, you have to actually add someone to your Pal Pad before you can connect directly with them.

Do you have a DS Lite? 'Cause that can't talk on a WPA protocol network, which is what most home routers are configured for (public ones are configured for WEP, usually, which a DS Lite can use). You would have to change to protocol to WEP or go to a public wireless place to connect.

Okay, this might turn out to be long. I have a WiFi Max router for a PC, and a DSi. I have two Mac computers and a PC connected to one network, and the router was connected to the PC. I'm sorry if this question will be vague, but right now the PC is not connected to the network, so I can't check exactly what the problem was right now.

The problem is when I had all of this hooked up, I tried to get the router working using the IP address of the computer. It gave me a message basically saying that it can't use an IP address connected to a network.

So is there a way around this? I tried turning off the firewall to see if that was the problem, though I think that's a bad idea. It didn't work anyway. Once again, sorry if this question is so vague.

Set your router's IP back to 192.168.0.1 or whatever it was before you changed it. Each device on a network has to have its own IP address, so your router and your PC cannot have the same IP address, since they are different devices. You want the router to be the x.x.x.1 static IP on the network, so that every device on the network can consistently find it. Your router is the device that gives each device its dynamic IP address (your entire home network appears as one computer to the outside world through technology your ISP uses to give you access).

R4's aren't always gonna work properly... Nintendo may have programmed the HGSS online system to reject R4 copies. That's the best I can come up with.

Hello. I'm trying to connect to my router? I went to Nintendo wfc settings then I clicked on Nintendo wi-fi connection settings. Then later I search for my router name. I found my router name and enter wep key. I think I found my wep key, but I'm not sure. Few minutes later I got an error code of 51000 or something like that. Can someone help me? Thanks a million. Sorry that I missed placed the post earlier.

This is an Nintendo ds lite. The game I'm trying to get internet connection is pokemon diamond. Please help.Thanks.

It's probably an issue of you using WPA for your security protocol, instead of WEP. You're options are: change it and apply MAC Address Filtering to compensate somewhat for the reduction in security level by switching to the older WEP protocol, get a DSi or DSi XL (because they both support WPA), or not connect at home and go to a nearby wireless hotspot instead (most McDonald's have WiFi now, as do a few other fast food restaurants).

Below is Nintendo's support page for that specific error, which is a little vague because they don't specify which information is system specific:

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

Well, they still have to know what it's called in the router, and most home routers use WPA security, which the original DS and DS Lite don't support. <== Which is what you said with less grammar mistakes (which are hard on the eyes). And you basically said what I said, with crappier grammar. I try to not treat people like they're computer illiterate (though it may not seem like it when I'm having someone troubleshoot something over the phone, though I do that because even the most skilled IT person can forget the simple things).

I'm still on WEP security. It doesn't work even if I'm sitting next to my router, or anywhere in range for that matter. I've never had any problems with lag before, so I doubt that's the reason.

Like I said above (yes, candy cane forest elf is me), I don't think any of the Pokemon games have the capability to use anything more secure than WEP. D;
