Ha ha, that title caught your attention didn't it?

Well anyway I'm having a Wii bit of a problem; I can't get my Wii to connect to the internet through my Mac. I followed the instrucions EXACTLY as stated in the guide right here on MacRumors, and no luck at all.

I tried it twice because the first time, my airport card wasn't on (silly me), but it still won't work.

What channel is your Airport set on?

Does it except your password?

I don't know what my airport is set to, and I don't have a password.

Are you set up to use DCHP? If not, you'll need to manually input the IP address.

I have mine set to channel 8 and I set up the Aiport to Distribut IP addresses via a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT.)

Try setting up a 10 digit WEP password. I had to do this to get my DS connected. You should have a password set regardless. It will preven WiFi leaches in your area from sucking up your bandwidth. ;)

This is my Wii settings;

Wireless Connection, and then I chose my network "Bubbles," which is under SSID.

Typ of Security:
WEP

Auto-Obtain IP Address:
Yes

Auto-Obtain DN:
Yes

Proxy Server:
Don't Use

MTU Vlalue:
0

Hopefully something will click and you can get it up and running before the "News Channels" is made active this weekend. The VC games are great. :)
