Answer 1

Nope. It just has one. You may need to enter the MAC address of the wii in to your router's white list to get it to connect.

1. From the Wii Channel menu, select "Wii Settings" (the round button on the bottom-left of the screen with "Wii" on it).
2. Select "Internet," then "Console Settings."

3. The MAC address of the Wii console is displayed on the first line.

Post back with some more detail on what you are trying to do.

Sorry, please post the exact message you are getting from the wii. I'm thinking this is a firewall thing, but I'm not sure from your description.

Forget the MAC Address. Try the following:
Switch your wireless router to channel 11.

If you are using encryption (and you should be ) use WEP, and make sure you are using key number 1. The wii only looks for key #1.

If you just have no idea how to do any of this, post back with the type of router you are using, and what OS you are running on your computer, and maybe I can help.

First you cant enter a mac address on your computer, it comes statndard for every machine and they are all differenct. Kind of like your home address no two are the same.

Second to reveiw your mac address so you can configure your wii device. You need to go to a command prompt,

Here are the instructions.
1. Start then Run.
2. In the run dialogue box...type cmd (in the blank data field) hit enter. It will bring up a command MS DOS APPL

3. At c:\ Type ipconfig /all enter

Your output will look something like this...

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-13-72-0D-5A-2E

The physical Address is your mac address
