maximum679 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 ***Is there a way to connect to win2ds on your computer from another router. Example my computer would be connected to my router at home and i would connect my ds to like an airport router and they could still connect. If you can't connect them from 2 different routers then someone should find a way to which would make win2ds amazing!*** **Does my ds HAVE to be on the same router as my computer for it to work?** ~thankssssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
