Wireless Network Card - how to make it connect!

[jvc_man]

I think that I got the problem now!

The Wii can find the access point (the connection to the wireless network card). BUT when Wii is testing the connection it's testing the "internet connection" - and there is non on the wireless network!
The internet connection is on the non-wireless network card and comes from the router.
So the thing is - how can I make the wireless network card internet able, forwarding the internet connection from the non-wireless to the wireless to the Wii....

Thanks!

Greetings Björn

go to your network connections folder and right click on the wireless one and click on bridge.

Hello!

Yes, I have XP on my computer.
I will try "the bridge" later tonight, is'nt home right now. Will the bridge automatic make the wireless network internet(able) so the Wii will connect? Hope so!
But thanks for all the help and information - will write if it worked tomorrow.

Thanks!

If you are using multiple nics, one for a WAN connection, and one for a LAN connection, you need to bridge them.

Hello!

A have maded the bride now but it does'nt work, still the same issue. It will find the network but when a run the test it can't find any access point...
I think that all the settings is ok also but the problem must be somewhere... so I don't know...

Please find the solution, maybe someone have a grate idea!
I'm going crazy!

Thanks, Greetings Björn

The wired network (internet) is online.
The network bridge is online.
The Wireless network (Wii) is'nt online.

And when a search throught the Wii for a internet connection - it will find the wireless network - but still is the wireless network not online on the computer. It only goes online when example the Pinnacle Digital Media Center connects to it.

Do not create a bridge between the public Internet connection and the private network connection. To do so will create an unprotected link between your network and the Internet, and your network will be vulnerable to intrusions.

Again, you need to implement Internet Connection Sharing. Either through a hardware device like the Nintendo WiFi Adapter, or through WindowsXP's software ICS. Again, the URL:

Hello!

The guide on Microsoft seems good, thanks!
BUT: When I try to share the internet on the first chapter (Letting other networkusers link to the internet throught this network), I get following Error: "An error appeard when the internet-connection-sharing activated - The internet-connection-sharing can't be activated. A LAN-connection is already configurated with the IP-adress that is required for automatic IP-addressing."

Don't know what this means or what to do!
Thanksful for help!
