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

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
