Finally, I can use nintendo wifi

The following post is uber geeky, but it brings me so much joy, so I can't help but share.

Last night I was listening to Leo Laporte's Security Now podcast, and they were talking about static IP addresses. So this morning, I was poking around my router configuration, and I thought i'd try out my nintendo DS's wifi connection again. I gave my DS a static IP, and then set that IP as the DMZ, and what do you know it works! Now I can play Mario Kart online with japanese kids!

I'm so happy.

I think the Netgear customer service people did tell me about static IPs and DMZ config, however, I hadn't done it all at once until this morning.

If you want to play Mario Kart with me, my friend code is 536936 453759

Ummm...I'm happy that you're happy and my middle son used to play something against some dude in Poland at three in the morning but forgive me if I pass on the Mario Kart! I thinik I was traumatised by the first computer tennis game and have never fully recovered.

Mario Kart? I am addicted to this silly Runescape.com. I play with my kids and their friends mostly, but I have actually met 2 or 3 interesting adults! cheers!k
