No, it was the same one. I fixed it though. I Figured that since I changed ISP's that the original settings were configured in a way so that it wouldn't work on this new ISP so I did the uninstall-reinstall trick and it worked.

This should be noted incase someone else has the same problem I had.

I need help finding my WEP Key. My router is connected to my Windows XP, which I can't access because it has a virus! But I was thinking that I can see my router settings in my other PCs, like my Windows 2000, and my Macintosh, which has Wireless LAN from the router. If I can access them through those two, then where may I find the WEP key?

Just checking cos I went online and my mum was all like OMGWTFBBQ because she thought I would rack up the phone bill on my DS o.o so yeah, thanks anyway.

**Grammer** · 12th April 2006, 9:21 PM

Never mind, my friend code was wrong, haha I'm stupid, BTW, this was Metroid Prime Hunters.

**Deoxys Prime** · 12th April 2006, 9:47 PM

...Error code 0? WTF?!?!?!? I checked NWFC and it said invalid!

**pharaohguy530** · 12th April 2006, 10:03 PM

Yeah.....Thats strange alright. Pikafan had that too. Something strange is going on.....I'm thinking its related to error code 10000 which means that there is something wrong with the ds. I'll email nintendo about this and figure out whats wrong.

Hey guys I want to buy the wi-fi router but, in the manual it says that I need high speed to connect... And I have medium speed will it work?

**The Thrashmeister** · 15th April 2006, 11:50 PM

...Medium speed? I highly doubt there's such thing as medium speed internet...

Hmm. You might want to go get an upgrade. You can probably find online or at an electronics store. I dunno. =P

**Voltguy65** · 19th April 2006, 7:39 PM

PLEASE HELP ME!

Okay, in my house, my computer has no USB port.

An, how do you know if your router is wireless? (Don't tell me to check the manual. I lost it.)

PLEASE HELP ME!

**Voltguy65** · 19th April 2006, 10:11 PM

Is anyone here?

**Octillery** · 20th April 2006, 2:22 AM

If your router is a wireless router, then it gives off a wireless broadcast. Search for an acess point and see if anything comes up. And never EVER double post while I'm around :0 or else I shall post saying utter nonsense o.O

**megakevinexe** · 20th April 2006, 6:10 AM

For those who can't find their WEP key when trying to connect, here's what you do:

. In your browser, type in your router address, like 192.168.0.1 for example.

. You will now have access to your router. Don't save anything though while you're there. Some routers may have a different setup page.

. Go to Wireless, then go to Wireless Security.

. You should be able to find your WEP key there. If you have more than one WEP key, remember that the DS can only accept the WEP key in the #1 area. If you're WEP key is all asterisks(*******), then you might have to manually enter a new WEP key. Do not use passphrases for your WEP key! It won't accept it that way! Use a 10-digit number that you can easily remember for your WEP key.

. Once you find your WEP key, type it in on the DS, and voila, you will know have access to your access point!

You will probably need a username and a password to access the setup page, ask your parents what it is.

**Voltguy65** · 20th April 2006, 8:27 PM

Sorry for double posting. I faced the DS towards the router and I got an acess point! It asked for a WEP key code, so I just kept pressing 4. It accepted it! But when I try to test the connection, it says Error 51300 (or 53100. I forgot.) I don't get it! Should I move closer to the router? Please respond. I really want wifi. Oh yeah, the acess point said NETGEAR. That's the name of my router. And if I move far away from the router,the only acess point there is, is a point that says Customer ID. By the way, these access points both have red locks.

**Nick Mckenzie** · 22nd April 2006, 12:48 AM

I only got an answer saying " I don't really know" for this question, and that didn't really help.
What stores have wireless routers in them, and which ones are in Australia?

**Paradox** · 22nd April 2006, 12:52 AM

Any decent computer store should have them, they are not hard to come by

It may have accepted the WEP key but that doesn't mean that it was the right code, you need the WEP code as the connections are protected (hence the red locks) whoever set the router up should know it
