Wii technical question.

Hello there !!

Long story short.
I've just come by a cheap wireless router and set it up but my DS doesn't like it.
Now the router has 3 free LAN ports on the back and its sat pretty close to where the Wii will be.
Can the Wii connect to it this way (with wires) if wireless doesn't work ?

There will be a USB to Ethernet adaptor available for the Wii, which will plug into one of the rear USB ports on the Wii to let it connect by a normal ethernet cable to a router etc if you aren't using wifi.

That's the thing I was thinking of.
Would that USB attachment not go into one of the LAN slots at all ?
I was sure it...er.... might.

It only works with WinXP though.
I'm still stuck on Win2000.

Well I've just fired off a question to Nintendo technical support.
I'll let you know what I find out

(The USB ethernet adapter MUST go into a LAN socket ....surely..... )

Ok, it might not DIRECTLY go into the LAN on the router but it does eventually.
See awsome diagram...
