Alright, first of all, this could be the completely wrong forum. I don't know. If it is, I'm really sorry.

So, I bought the WifiMax DS dongle about 4 months ago. I worked on the settings for hours and finally got it to work. Long story short, I would lose my connection a lot. I finally got sick of it and gave up.
But today, I pulled it out wanting to play Animal Crossing on WiFi, so I plugged it in. Usually, you're supposed to see something that says 'LAN connection settings" or something in the task bar. That never appeared for me. I know that you need to change the settings and stuff, but I can't because I can't seem to find them. Maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know. Also, the software that came with it is still installed, though I lost the CD, so I can’t uninstall and reinstall it.
I know that the WiFiMax was a bad purchase, but right now its all I have. I can’t afford anything else. So, if anyone could help me with my problem (I can’t change the settings.)
I’d be very grateful!!
