Hi all. Apologies that my first post here is going to be a technical support one but I figured it might be worth a shot asking here before I went to the support lines.
I own a Nintendo DS Lite and am currently running a 2MB Virgin Media broadband connection (ex-NTL). In order to play online with the DS, I purchased their Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector, which is basically a Wi-Fi device that sits in the USB port and communicates with the DS, while sending any traffic that needs to go across the Internet down the user's standard wired connection. It's advertised as something for people who don't have access to a wireless network.
Well, I've installed the software and plugged the USB device in, the computer detects it, the DS detects it when you select "Connect to your Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector", so they're communicating OK, but when it comes to the Connection Tests, it seems to connect for a few seconds, probably about 5 to 8 seconds, while it shows full signal strength and a green icon, but then the connection seems to suddenly break, the signal drops down to 0 and everything goes red, before the Error Code : 52103 comes up, indicating that it's "Unable to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection". I've turned Windows Firewall off to test this so I know it's not that interfering, and as far as I know there's nothing else that could be the problem. My connection is via a SACM (according to the stickers on the bottom, an NTL:home 120) and by all rights, it SHOULD be working. Has anyone else here come across these sorts of problems and if possible, could you let me know how to fix it? I'd hate to think I've wasted £25 on this thing.
Thanks in advance
