PC internet connection lost when switching on wii

Janicewii · 06-22-2007, 12:26 PM

Help! Bought a wii a month or so ago. Have PC with wireless internet (plus laptop with internet and PSP with internet)All worked perfectly, including wii internet connection. Last week noticed wii was quite warm even when not in use. That night switched it off at plug. Since then have realised that when wii is switched on PC loses internet connection (and will not connect at all whilst wii is on). Also other devices (including wii) won't connect to internet when wii is switched on. Can anyone help?Loath to start looking at settings etc as all working before! Thanks

Perhaps you have not allocated enough address to DHCP?

Be more specific in the error you get on the PC when the Wii is on. Is it unable to detect the wireless or does the wireless connect and doesn't receive an address or does everything seem to work fine but you cannot get to the internet
etc...
