Nintendo DS and internet/Wifi connection...(read on)?
If you have a game that supports Nintendo WFC, such as Mario Kart or Animal Crossing, you can check if your DS will connect to your wireless connection by setting up a connection in one of those. ( For more on WFC, see http://www.nintendowifi.co.uk/global/ind... )





You will need to be using the older WEP encryption, not the newer WPA.





Opera DS doesn't, from what I gather, support Flash, so the games won't work.
Reply:You can connect to your PC's wireless, but it's quite advanced to do and requires using ICS (internet connection sharing). My suggestion would be purchasing the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. It's got a step by step guide to getting your DS connected to the internet. As far as the Nintendo DS Internet Browser, it's limited in it's capacity to display and interact with internet multi-media, including, but not limited to flash and shockwave applications. Ideally the Nintendo DS Internet Browser is good for reading some news articles, checking most web mail, and interacting with forums.

Reply:Setting up the Wifi connection on a Nintendo DS is not complicated at all if you already have wireless internet set up in your house. Almost any wireless modem or router will work for this, and if you don't have a wireless setup you can purchase the USB adapter to connect to the internet. If you are running a secured wireless network in your home, the DS Wifi also has WEP key support, so you can keep your connection secure but still enjoy the freedom of wireless.





One thing you will want to note though, you will need a seperately sold Nintendo DS Browser to surf the web (and access sites like Nick Jr online). If you plan on doing a lot of web surfing and would like a little bit faster loading times, you may want to also purchase a memory expansion pack for your DS. This is a small cartridge that fits into the Gameby Advance slot in your DS, so it is completely usable with the web browser.





One thing to note however is that the browser does not have things like windows media player so you will not be able to watch videos on sites like Youtube. You may want to investigate further about wether it would have the ability to run the games on the Nick Jr website (I'm assuming Flash games). It may be beyond the limitations of the browser, I'm not 100% sure myself.
