What I'm asking is how your computer is connected to the internet? If it's coming from a wireless router, you can use that same internet connection on your DS.

Otherwise, you will need to buy a Nintendo WiFi USB Adapter, which you hook up to your computer. It's fairly expensive, so it's better to use a wireless router if you have one.

Six bucks fairly expensive? That's what they go for on eBay.

The don't make them anymore, so they're rare.

^ They cost more than that. New, they cost around forty US dollars. Used or on ebay they cost around twenty-five to thirty.

They are certainly still making them.

I'd recommend a wireless router, rather than a the USB thingy, but that's just me. Networks can be a pain in the ass to set up. If you get that USB adapter, you're all set to go, I think. You simply go into your game of choice (Mario Kart, mayhap?), then Wifi, then connect... and you're all good to go

Yeah, I got the USB adapter and it's good for just DS but not for Wii because you can't have Wii connect24 unless you plan to have your computer on 24/7 so I think the wirless Router would be better.
