I'm new to the whole win2ds thing i have a lot of questions that i cannot find answers to. all i can go up to is starting up Win2DS and connecting is my real problem here.

 

1. First i have the first DS version (Fat one) and as far as i can go, all i can do is access win2ds. When i press auto connect it immediately says "Cannot Connect." I've tried Manual connection and it gets stuck at "Waiting..." when i input the passwords here is what i have done:

 

-I have downloaded and patched win2ds and started up the server.

-I've input the IP address for my manual connection

-I DO NOT have a Wi-Fi usb stick

-I have a computer and laptop that do not work for either

-I have input the right IP for my DS

-Is the Nintendo DS Built in with Wi-Fi connection to my router or do i need a program or Wi-Fi Usb stick to be abel to connect to my router?

 

If any of you can point out one of these problems i might have with my internet,firewall, router, etc

 

-Norton Security is always on

-I've port forwarded 8888 UDP on my firewall

-My Router is password protected (Is that whats interfering?)

-I turned off my firewall (if necessary)

-My Win2DS will not connect

 

If any of you understand any of these problems OR if i'm missing something, please reply with a solution and sorry if this is a newb topic. If these question have been answered please tell me where i can find it.
