Making sure USB works

[Volkner's Apprentice]

Anyone up for a quick 3v3 singles match? No legends, standard rules apply, etcetera.

Give me a few minutes and I'll battle you, I'll PM you when I'm ready. I'm EV training something at the moment and I'm almost done.

Alrighty. I'll be hanging in wifi.

Edit: Alright let's try this now.

While I did have wireless, it was being blocked by my house's main firewall. Obviously we can't take that down so I got a USB connector. Now I was able to get on GTS fine, I was even able to log into the online areas of battling/trading but it still wouldn't let me fully connect with a friend (continuous "firewall" error codes. But I already checked my firewall: I tried battling with just the firewall on, just the firewall off, my whole protection system on and my whole protection system off. It didn't work. Then I checked to see if there were any updates needed for it; there were not.)

Sooooo now I'm trying to use the USB connector, with a non-wireless seperate router. It should be okay, since my firewall doesn't work unless I'm using my house's main network...which this is not.


Haha, what a mouthful. Anyone willing to help me test my connection?

Naruto. but i think you can put anything. and it won't matter. i'm not sure of that theory, so just use naruto.

Haha alright ^_^. Meet you on there. Pardon me if it doesn't connect after awhile..

Edit: of course its D/P not PBR, you know, right?

yeah. i know it's DP. do you have a wireless G-Router from walmart? it works well with Wi-fi max. at least, that's how i got connected to wi-fi.

Well I have no clue what my household router is, something expensive probably, my dad's into a lot of tech stuff.

The router I'm using here is a standard Linksys Wireless-G travel router. The only problem is, it's STILL saying my firewall is blocking it when my firewall isn't even on!

yep. that's the exact one i was talking about.

I'm wondering if the little Lock button on the router itself has something to do with it; it's glowing orange right now and when you hold it down it flashes a white/green. I have no idea what either color means.
