how do i get the wii internet hook up

minismok

wii online play IS GONNA HAVE lobbys. i say this b/c 1. u wont have to kepp re-entering a new friend code for each online game. and 2. every 1 online game will have the same friend code. so for a game that can fit 100 people online like everquest or socom, once u put in the game, u will begin wit 100 people logged onto that one game. for instance in blazing angels (1st online game for wii in america- 16 players online in 1 game) once u log into ur username then u will have a max of 16 players for that game. so to answer ur question simply no u dont need to re-enter a friend code for a wii game unless that game can connect to the DS.

go to wii settings. click internet. connection 1. search for an access point. click on the one u want preferably the one with the open lock. test connection. ur online.

i want to get my wii online so i was thinking about buying the Wi-Fi usb adapte however i read somewhere that it isnt compatible with AOL which is what i have. Anyone know if this is true or not? Would apreciate it :P

minismok

if it doesnt then return it. but im pretty sure that it is b/c i dont see why they would leave out AOL from the addapter.

Question:

My friend added me, as I did him. However, it won't let us message each other, or anything - it's as if we haven't added one another. We checked each other's Wii Codes, and they are correct. On top of that, we've re-added each other several times.

Suggestions? <.<

youll get bold on each others consoles in time. its just that online play is coming next month and people want to b able to have friends to play with and the internet is jammeda little b/c everyone is either downloading something from VC or its jus that its tryin to get everyones friend codes to other consoles.

This is probably a really dumb question, but I cant find the answer. My message board icon says that I have a new message. It has a (1) under the envelope. However, when I click it, it takes me to today's page and there doesnt appear to be a new message anyplace. The only thing thats there is the stats envelope (the one that has your playing time breakdown), and thats it. I've opened that, but it doesnt take the (1) away. Any ideas? I've only had my Wii since yesterday, and I checked that day as well, and there are no new messages. I'm sure I am missing something easy.

oin the wii menu when u look at the bottom right hand corner and see the wii message board icon and the number under the envelope then thats how many messages r in the board if all uve doin is play and u havent receive any messages from other people from ur list or from nintendo then u WILL have a message with the play time and nothin else there. ur not missing anything all u have to do is go in there when u see the slot illumination light up. the number under the envelope is there to tell u how many things r in the board its not there to tell u if u have any NEW messages in the wii message board. instead od paying mind to the icon instead if ur worried about a new message from someone then look at the slot illumination to see if it is glowing.

hi, when i hook up my wii, on both of my TV's, the screen bounces terrible. is it because it is PAL and i have american TV's? or is it a bad system

altair808@

I got tired of playing in widescreen and decided to switch to 4:3. One problem though: The screen doesn't fit correctly when I play Super Mario 64. I went into my options to fix this, but it will only let me adjust the screen horizontally. Is there a way to adjust the screen position vertically? If not, would it be possible for Nintendo to include this feature in their next Wii System Update?

minismok

u most likely dont have everyting hooked up rightto ur tv.

minismok

y not go wit the normal format???
