    Good news is, I finally got Diamond, and I'm loving it. :) I spent 12 hours straight yesterday playing it. Lol
    Bad news is, I can't trade or battle with anyone because I live in Thomaston, which is like surrounded by mountains, and there is only one tower there, and I live 3 miles from it. Every time I try, it says couldn't find a connection. So about the only time I can trad eis when I stay at my Grannys or when we go to town for something.
     
    too bad =/

    i keep playing one guy who keeps walking to mcdonalds everytime he wants a battle. never figured how blessed i was to have wifi.
     
    The only time I have wifi is when I go to my apartment or Arbys. When I get paid this summer, I'm going to get one of the USB ports you plug into your computer to make a hotspot and use that. :)

    There's an idea for you, Abyss... get one of them. They're about 25.00 here, and they work even if you have dial-up.
     
    Do you have an internet connection at your house? If it goes through wires, it shouldn't be disrupted by mountains, even if you have a household wireless router. Kinda like a house phone in relation to a cell phone... but you can buy a connection wire that hooks up right to your PC, and allows you to get to WiFi without technically going on WiFi.
     
    hey i feel yah, but i dont have to same problem... i can't get my stupid router to work, it keeps saying "No Internet Connection found", SO STUPID! all i can say is if u have wi-fi, your rlly lucky
     
    Lol, I Agree with ya. I never even heard of Wi-fi until I got a DS. >.<

    Actually, more, those things cost about 40.00 over here, in the Ridgewood GameStop.
     
    I have a Nintendo Wi-Fi Adaptor (the one that goes in your USB port) and I've had no problems with it - in fact, it's really reliable.

    They only cost £29.99 over here, and seeing as I work weekends, that's not much to pay to play my DS and Wii online.
     
    Is it actually true though, that the USB's work even with dial-up?

    PS: Also, forgot to mention, some internet providers such as AOL, don't allow you to have WiFi connections, no matter what accesories you have in your possesion.

    awesome can you tell me what this is? i have a burning desire to get Wi-Fi. Thnx
     
    I only have one spot in my neighborhood that I can use Wi-Fi. Some people give me confused looks when they see me sitting on the sidewalk with my foldout camping chair.

    There used to be another spot right by my work (which is where I spend most of the day), but those jerkfaces blocked my connection after a week or so of using it. I guess they got sick of me sitting outside their store. Next time, their sign should tell the truth. "Free Wi-Fi" bull, it should say "Free Wi-Fi to people who buy stuff every day."

    I wanna buy the USB Wi-Fi thing, but I'm low on funds...
     
    I found a spot! :o Wow.. But it says I got to set up something... Lol, I don't know my own IP address.

    ...no they don't. You need to have a Windows PC with internet access. Nintendo's never made such a thing where you don't need a computer. You're probably talking about a router, which shares the internet connection over to the whole of the household wirelessly... but that's not actually made by Nintendo. o_O;
