Well I just got a nintendo wii, it is so fun.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a wii connect to the internet useing there computer as the router.

I am running vista but cann't figuer out how to make it send out a wireless single.

Please Help!

Do you have a USB Wi-fi gaming adapter for the PC? Alternatively, do you have a wireless router? (that's what I have) The Wii has to connect to something. Without that, it has nothing to send/receive a signal to/from.

I know how to do it with Linux, but no clue how to do it with Vista.

My advice; look around on Google until you have found out how, otherwise I have NO clue.

no, but my computer has a built in wireless card i set up what called a wireless ad hoc network, and turned it on. I went to the wii internet set up, and chosse wireless, it finds the network, but when it runs a test on the network it says Error Code:51030 Unable to find an acces point

I can't say for sure, but it may not be compatible.

Than why would the wii see the network?

I don't know. It just doesn't work with some routers/cards.

And um.... Datel WiFi MAX should work. I think you can find it at any video game store. There's an official Nintendo WFC adapter too, but I heard a rumor that it's not being made since November.

Thats not a rumor Nintendo did decide to stop making them anyways that small USB thing sucked anyways. Anyone is MUCH better off just buying a linksys Wi-Fi router.

the card on your computer isn't set up to work as an access point...

my Wii acquired the wireless network in my apartment right away... no problems...

 

[baby_mike]

that is so odd, my wii can see the ad hoc network i made but the connection test always fails

 

[ShippoFox]

Well, yeah, they do make cheap Wifi routers. I've seen them for $30 or $40 dollars. It is a better bet, but if you don't want to get it, then get WiFiMAX.

I thought so, but I didn't want to say for sure because I wasn't 100% certain.
