I looked up the error at nintendo and it looks like my zonealarm won't work with it. It says it won't work with zonealarm internet suite and I have zonealarm antivirus and firewall but I guess it's the same. I got the software to install and my ds will connect to my computer in the registration tool but when I do an internet connection test it says unable to connect. I set up my zonealarm to allow everything it needed (according to the nintendo site) but it still won't connect. Is there anything I can try or am I stuck buying new antivirus/firewall? thanks
btw my error number was 52203
eta: looks like it is my zonealarm. I forgot that I just got a netbook which doesn't have zonealarm (it has mcafee) and as long as I completely shut off my firewall it works with it. So for now I will just use that and be sure to buy the mcafee when it expires (which I think is a trial) since I don't know what other programs won't work with it. or if you have one tell me what antivirus and firewall you use, please. My other option is to try to return it and get extra routers in order to have both the wep and wpa security on my computer. I really would rather not use the netbook for the connection so...
