  1. hey umm ive been wanting to hook up my wii the internet for a long time and today i got their lan cable thing, and…it still dosnt work…. wheni just try with every thing on auto, it says 52120 which is their code for ” just turn your modem off and back on again and see if it works” so i tryed putting in allllll that info, the ip address, the subnet mask ect + the dns servers, then it says my wii has the same IP as my comp er something else. i dont understand , this is very frustrating if you can help me plz send me an e-mail. thank you

  2. Ian, dunno if you fixed the ip problem with your Wii, but try adding one number to the last four digits of the ip address to the wii.eg. 192.45.76.111 is your ip, change to 192.45.76.112 so the wii one is slighlty different. dunno if it works but thats what i was told to do for my DS.

  3. My wii changes the ip address i put in there for example i put in ***.***.0.5 and it automatically changes it to ***.***.000.005 not sure but i am pretty sure this changes things can someone please confirm/deny this?

  4. 1) hit start
    2) hit run
    3) type in the run prompt CMD
    4) a command prompt should open up
    5) type in “nslookup” with out the quotes
    6)Your dns should be the one that says adress:
