Attempting to get internet to DS

That product has been discontinued for years and is not supported by Vista or Win 7.

Which is why I didn't mention it cause I knew this. T_T;

You need to get a wireless combo router (which is pretty cheap these days). You can plug the wireless router into your existing ISP router and just use it for your DS. It will work just fine.

...I just ethernet to ethernet it? This sounds like impending disaster.

The other thing you need to know about the USB dongle is that it has the WORST range. You have to be sitting next to your computer to get any signal. Even worse, it typically disconnects you if your computer pops up a screen saver. It's a very bad product. My buddy fought with his for months while we were playing Mario Kart Wii when it first came out. It was absolute suck.

Uuuh my screensaver is set to "never" so I wouldn't really have that problem. Since I never finished unpacking my laptop is on a TV tray at the moment with a cord going to the router ~3' behind me. Range isn't really a huge deal, I'm supposedly fucked out of Time Warner's "wireless" package anyways since I didn't ask for it.

Really all I need this for is the 5 minutes it takes to schuck a pokemon to and from the dream world, that's about it. :|
