I connect to the internet through a wireless card for my laptop.
Can I connect my Wii to the internet through the laptop via a usb cable.
If so where do I get the cable as it looks different than a normal usb cable connector on the Wii end.

Thanks for the help

Ummm...if it's picking up a wi-fi signal, the Wii has it's own wireless card.

You might even be able to use it. But turning it off will increase your chances.

Do you mean you're connecting to a router using the wireless card? Or is it a cell wireless?

Then you will have to ask someone more knowledgeable in networking.

There's probably a way, but it's not my area of expertise. Sorry man.
