sgstair Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Ok, there have been a number of people who can't connect with this version of the lib, following are some basic troubleshooting points for the current version of the lib (0.3 ONLY - later versions will fix several of these points) But, before all that - check your router's compatibility on nintendo's wifi site: http://www.nintendowifi.com/ - if it's not compatible there it's probably going to cause you grief. Problem:Can't see any access points, but they were there in an earlier version (v0.2)Probable Causes:* this is probably a bug in the lib, I'm looking for it.. Problem:Hangs at ASSOCSTATUS_SEARCHINGProbable Causes:* your router has SSID Broadcast disabled, this must be enabled for the current version of the lib, though it is planned to be fixed in the next version.* your router may be off.... well, it might be! Problem:Hangs at ASSOCSTATUS_ACQUIRINGDHCPProbable Causes:* your router is denying the lib's DHCP request; I've seen this on a few routers and am looking into it.* You have the wrong WEP key or mode configured. Problem:Fails to connect (ASSOCSTATUS_CANTCONNECT)Probable Causes:* Shared key authentication is enabled - the lib does not support this yet but it is planned for the next release.* your router has a configuration that is blocking the DS from connecting. (MAC filtering, or etc..) Problem:Connected OK but can't send/receive data!Probable Causes:* WEP could be incorrectly configured.* IP address may be manually incorrectly configured.* Router may be incompatible! If you guys have other problems connecting, please post them here - I'm sure there are other issues I haven't documented. I'm listing just the problems I know about at the moment. As always, good luck -Stephen Edited May 6, 2006 by sgstair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckysempai Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hangs at ASSOCSTATUS_ACQUIRINGDHCP I have this problem. But, if I disable my wireless usb adaptor on my pc, i'm able to connect to my router just fine. I can then re-enable the adaptor and not have any problems.

754boy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Here is the problem I have: My DS connects to Nintendo Wifi just fine. And, your wifi-lib detects my AP too. But it won't connect to it at all. I'm broadcasting my SSID but the name doesn't appear when it detects my AP. Any ideas as to what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoduv Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) Problem:Connected OK but can't send/receive data!Probable Causes:* WEP could be incorrectly configured.* IP address may be manually incorrectly configured.* Router may be incompatible!And what about this error, but happening randomly ? (seeing it works everytime with WFC games)Router i'm using: Netgear DG384G With packet captures, i'm able to see that it doesn't send anything (not even ARP).It happens even with WEP disabled.

sgstair Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 754boy: you have either a problem with open system authentication (which will be added in the next lib), or your configuration isn't set up the way you think it is - due to your explanation I can't tell which it is. thoduv: what kind of packet capture?I'm not sure what your problem is yet.

thoduv Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Network packet capture (using ethereal). I'll try to do a wireless one, but I'm not sure of what kind of software to use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgstair Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 khalil: could be a failed connection due to lack of shared key authentication support (mis-stated in previous posts, heh), or because your access point isn't broadcasting a SSID. Beyond that it's hard to tell -Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
