people keep telling me how simple on the surface it is (Super Smas Bros) but how many layers of depth there are.. I'm never convinced


Wii time is going to be sorely lacking in coming weeks with Fable 2 and Fallout 3 however (plus someone gave me The Orange Box for my birthday - woo hoo)

The Joys of 86420


Some people get no problems at all and others can open a room but no one can connect or they can't connect to an open room... if you get 86420 then read on...


According to some sources, it is in fact down to your wireless router and the following recommendations are to be found - Follow in order if you can and test at each stage


1. Do an update of the firmware on your router (remember to back it up first)


2. Change the channel of your wireless router to 1 or 11 (it seems that the Wii prefers these for some reason with 1 being optimal)


3. Put your Wii on a Static address at least 11 higher then your router (i.e. 192.168.1.12) (this needs to occur both on the Wii and the Router)


4. forward all available UDP ports, usually 1 to 65534, to the IP address that you have assigned your Nintendo Wii. You do this in the port forwarding section of your router.


5. Provide the Wii with some compatitable DNS servers. Go to https://www.opendns.com/start?device=nintendo-wii and follow the instructions on there.


6. If above fails to help then open up a DMZ for the wii on the router (allows it to by-pass the router firewall) or just disable the firewall on the router


Hopefully if you follow these instructions in order then it should solve the problem for you (no promises like)


Finally I have to say sorry for not appearing for the races last night, a Jacket Potato with Ragu sauce on it was calling my name stronger then the Wii did :-S

I was getting this error but after a short time I stopped getting it. The workd rounds suggest that it is router based and thus connection based but I am not convinced as the connection must be their in order to see your friends and attempt to join them in the first place. The Nintendo site says that this is often just a temporary issue and resolves itself. My guess it is actually a server issue i.e. a problem at the server that manages the connections.
I'd connected many times with no problems, and then suddenly got it the other night for the first time. And then it went away again, all without my touching any settings at my end. This really makes me doubt very strongly that it's anything to do with routers. I reckon it's all at the server end.
I had to do a lot of research as I always got it, and now witht he work arounds, I don't .... it is true that sometimes there is a server issue, but for a lot of people, the above workaround solves the problem. I think it also depends on how games firendly your router and firewall is !!

The whole connectivity side of the Wii sounded dreadful compared to a 360 before I got myself a Wii


Now I know it's dreadful compared to etc etc


Downloading software means I have to stare at a screen for 15-20 minutes and not be able to do anything else on it?? It's 2008 ninty - sort it!

Sorry, putting this post on 2 threads to get responses.


Has anyone had trouble getting gamecube games to work on Wii? Keep putting different disks in, and it just won't read them! Very annoying, as I have loads of Gamecube games I want to revisit / start!!!


Could just set the gamecube up again, but that's beside the point! :X

    • Anything that improves the front of the station has to be a good thing. Opening up the square in front is a superb idea, it will show the beauty of the architecture of the station, just as they did at Kings Cross when they ripped out the monstrosity of the 1960's frontage and now the station gleams. People probably go there to see the beauty of it. Now wouldn't it be good if once opened up and cleaned up, people visited to see how wonderful it then looks. I guess there is a generally lack of trust that the station square will open by the end of next year, HOWEVER, when the current frontage is removed and the square is opened up as it originally was it will look grand.  
    • i) You must think Liebour can do no wrong, can lie through their teeth and yet you appear to believe every word Starmer and his stooges utter. ii) More assumptions made by you, well guess what you're utterly W R O N G, seems like that's your first trip, just as I predicted.  iii) and you won't be blaming me old man. Shockingly, I actually have to agree with some of the points you've raised.  Reform are the relics of BNP and UKIP, both detestable so add them together and you get an even worse result which is Reform that the UK can do without. 
    • Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.
    • You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again.
