    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?

    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!
     
    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.
