    I know this isnt exactly a pc related question-forgive me.We got our son a Wii for Christmas,and are supposed to be able to access the internet wirelessly with it.(I am using a Linksys router-my pc,my older son's laptop,and his PSP all have no problem connecting)However-I am unable to connect with the Wii.Any 4042er's have this game system? Any idea's? Thanks for any help-and Happy New Year!

    nah, never mind i was way off on that one. the Wii has a built in 802.11b/g card, so it should talk to your router just fine. check the distance between the Wii and the router, maybe set the Wii up right next to it or something, just to make sure its not a range issue. i cant imagine there would be too much extra config involved with the network stuff.

    my wii is working fine...all i had to do was go into the wii system and set up the connection...have you set that up? ii had to put my password of course, but once it did that it worked fine.
