I'm having trouble getting my Mario Kart to go online here in the quad. First off, I can't get my own wireless router setup in my room for some reason (if anyone can help me with that...great!), but I can't even get the UMR Wireless Network to work with the DS. Has anyone else gotten it to work?

Well I figured out I had to register the DS, so I can play on the UMR WiFi, but I'd still like to be able to play in my room, can anyone help me with my Wireless Router?

The DS only supports WEP encryption and not WPA. I'm not sure what the UMR network uses, but I wouldn't be suprised if its not compatible with the DS.

right now UMR uses a 64 bit WEP key, apparently they're trying to replace that with a WPA setup sometime in the near future:

Quote:

UMR IT also supports the 802.1x standard, which allows customers to connect securely without needing a WEP key. Customers who wish to use the 802.1x wireless network instead of the regular network should follow the appropriate set of instructions below.

All customers should migrate to using the 802.1x standard before Spring 2006.
