Hi, I'm posting here to try and get some help. I haven't used my DS or Wii with Wifi for a long time. And I always use the Nintendo USB connector to do it. I would like to use WiFi again. I've been trying and it acts like it wants to connect, and seems to, but the test does not work. and I get this Error Code 52103: www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=52103&system=DS&locale=langThe messaged displayed on the DS for the error says " Connected to access point but unable to connect to the server. Confirm connection settings and internet availability." I'm thinking it most likely has to do with the Avast antivirus I have now, because I haven't tried to use WiFi since I've had it. I've tried to work around it, but I haven't had any luck disabling it, and I don;t really want to uninstall it, because it works good on my PC. I don't have a router, and would rather not have to buy one if I don't have to. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! |

I also have Avast and I think I had some trouble with it as well, but manged to fix it.
Go into Avast, and then find "settings" and then find a tab called "exclusions" and add the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection to that.

Thanks, I followed the directions just as you said, but for some reason it still does the same thing. |

Go to your firewall and allow exception for NWC.
Directions (assuming ya using Windows)
Go to start menu, then "help and support."
Search for "windows firewall" and then go into the pop up Windows Firewall.
Finally find the "exception" tab there and select NWC.
Then test NWC with the DS or Wii again.
Another suggestion if that didn't work, turn off your firewall, then connect your DS and if successful turn the firewall back on and see if the DS connection stays (I've done this before and it worked).
(Also make sure to turn firewall back on if your don't manage to connect to the DS obviously)
I have to admit it's been a while since I've used my USB NWC, since moving house my Wii is connected online by a wireless router.
Now I need to go to bed.

I do. Thanks though. I've also tried all the above suggestions with no luck. It acts like it wants to connect after I grant the access, then just stops. I don't understand it. |

It sounds like you're at the last problem on the list: It's not compatible with your ISP. I bought the Nintendo Wi-Fi dongle back when it first came out but have since upgraded to a full wireless network in the house which solved all of the connection problems I was having.
There's still some arsing about trying to get the DSi to connect to anything (apparently it only likes one kind of secured connection) but now everything is connected happily all the time.

Sorry to tell you this, chrisno, but I had a problem similar to this, except for a time the Wi-Fi Connector worked, and then soon after it didn't. I looked EVERYWHERE for a way to fix it, and I couldn't find one. Eventually my family just got a wireless router. However, unless I've got my facts wrong, it seems that somewhere around the internet I found that an enormous amount of people were having problems with the Wifi Connector. And of course, can you guess what Nintendo did to help them? They discontinued it until further notice which means you can't even return it for your money back. Hmmph.  |

The answer to all Wii Wi-Fi problems is a 50 foot Ethernet cable.
