I'm trying to play Mario Kart over my WiFi, but every time I try to connect to my Dongle, It looks like it's connecting, then the little icon in the top left corner ( I think it's the signal strength?) goes from a nice healthy green to an empty orange colour, then gives the following error.
Error code: 52103 Connected to access point but unable to connect to the server. Confirm connection settings and internet availability.
I'd just hunt down a Netgear wireless router. I was going to go the dongle route but I've found the router to be a lot more versatile, working with ALL my wireless game systems rather than just a couple. It's about the same price, too... I got mine for around forty dollars!
I've been using mine for a few weeks. Takes a little bit to get it going. I think its the firewall. I have to plug and unplug it a few times to get it to work, or if I'm feeling impatient I just turn off the firewall for a minute. Works right away then.

I just purchased a 24$ LAN adapter from the nintendo.com store and 50 feet of cat5. The adapter is nice for the DS but damned if I want to leave my pc on all the time, and I don't care much for wireless as Im in an apartment complex full of fucks who steal connections from others anyway.
The dongle fucking fails. Well, the official software for it does.
If you have the software installed, pray your dongle doesn't have to reconnect everytime, otherwise some IP conflicts prevent it from connecting after a few tries, and you have to reinstall the software to become clean again. It also blocks local network connections FROM other computers (you can access others fine). I'm trying a hack but having no luck with it at the moment. Just get a wireless router if you can afford one.

But yeah, firewalls can kill the whole thing.

It used to work. But I haven't used it in a while.
