Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

i am glad you said that, That proves what i say you are saying it cant act like that but do not know what it even means LOL AP mode means it turns into a access point allowing upto 14 computer to connect to it and share resources as in files and other network interfaces(as in VM Connection)

sorry if this sounds like a nasty comment it is not meant like that. my wii connects to my computer fine VIA AP mode with any type of Encryption including MAC protection mode. and i used to use this type of set up before on another net provider and the original telewest surfboard modems. granted this is a new wifi card but i know it is working fully.

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

Sorry dude, that doesn't make no sense at all?!

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

AP=access point , right i will try and get the grammer right this time.

when a wi-fi card is set to AP mode this will allow other computers to connect to you and share resources as in files and internet (as in cat5 broadband)

does that explain what i mean better , and by the way its my wii connecting to my pc not the other way.

also there is AD hoc mode which means HOST TO HOST with NO ROUTER but i have the same problem

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

Makes sense now - but this wont work, I believe you need to have a Wifi router in the first instance. As your broadband is Wired so the connection doesnt know what to do with it.

I am fully aware of what it means, but you will NEED a router.

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

so how does the wiiconnect usb dongle for pcs work then,That use your existing broadband connection.
I think i would rather by one of them than a router i only want the wii to connect nutting else and that is not a sure thing with routers as they are easy to exploit or decrypt security
but with a wifi card or wiiconnect dongle its a different matter

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

Well they are both just as expsensive, if not cheaper.

The truth is, if people want access to something, they will get into it, no matter how secure it is to be honest!

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

its just so annoying that i have this nice new wi-fi card and i cant bloody use it lol its stupid.

sorry for being sounds so angry its just its starting to really p*** me of now

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

Sorry dude, I know

But you did buy it without checking! :)

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

no i did not buy it mate my mate owns a pc shop it was free, and so will the router or wiiconnect dongle. oh well i will get a router tomorrow then i think i will pay the 200 quid tho and and get a Cisco 1801W Integrated Services Router at least i can configure that to be more safe

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

You might get some answers about the capabilities of your Wifi card if you mentioned the manufacturer and model number, and whether you'd got anywhere searching the web for a manual?

Only an idea...

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

What??? Sorry dude but now your not making no sense...

You just said a router a Wii dongle would be free from your mate, then you go on to say I am gonna spend £200 on a Cisco Router!!!!

ARE YOU BLOODY INSANE!

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

It can be done, don't ask me how, but i know it can be done.

Clear all the bridge mode settings you have, stop ICS in windows (Internet Connection Sharing) and set it up from scratch. It is most certainly possible to let something else connect to your Wi-Fi card when it is in AP mode. And, through windows ICS have all requests forwarded to your NIC, so that online play is possible.

Just skip the specific bits about the zyDas device, and substitute it for your device (When setting wireless Access Point mode).

HTH. :D

As for this, a £200 router is overkill, a £20 - 40 jobby will do just fine. And the Cisco will likely just confuse you. (It would me)

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

Make sure that the WiFi doesn;t have a gateway set, that way it'll never try to route through your WiFi card. ICS should work OK between your wifi card and the net/usb

Re: some help before i cry LOL
 

I'm pretty sure you don't need to be using a bridge in this scenario, just ensure ICS is ticked in the properties of the connection that's connected to the cable modem(control panel/network connections). If Windows is automatically bridging the two connections, which I've seen happen before, then right click on both the connections and select remove from bridge then disable or delete the bridge.

" a £20 - 40 jobby will do just fine"

No way would I pay for a sh*t which is what jobby means here in Scotland.

Totally irrelevant yes, but I couldn't resist, sorry ;-)
