Problems that it can be.

Now on your PC goto your Desktop and Right click on My Network Places, and goto Properties(this should open a folder up), Right click on your LAN connection leading to the internet(this is the card that you access the internet with from your PC) goto Properties, look for a check box that say Internet Protocall, In it you should find information that your computer uses to access the internet much like your DS, simply input an IP Address on your DS that has xxx.xxx.xxx.7(x should be the same as on your computer the only thing you should change right here is the last digit), Subnet Mask should be 255.255.255.0, the Gateway and DNS should be the same as on your PC.

Ok, I've heard about not much mac support for the wifi stuff so I was wondering, I use the airport station to get wireless internet throughout the house, does the DS wifi work with that or I will I have to find another way?
 
Question:

your WW code is 0730-7545-1773. Where did you get that number? When I go to the Wi-Fi setup part of it, all I see is the Wireless Internet "name" I use for the internet.

help ASAP please, over at the Animal Crossing club, we're going to have a New Years Eve get together
