I purchased a EDUP IEEE 802.11 b+g USB adapter, to connect with my DS. I dont want to change the security settings on my Linksys broad band router from WPA to WEP, so thats why i bought this. When i set up my ds i have the correct SSID and WEP information from the adapter. when i attempt to connect, it asks for a IP address. i enter the IP address, Gateway, Subnet mask, and primary DNS from the laptop the adapter is connected too. after i attempt to connect again, it wont let me says to confirm the connecton settings and access point settings! i need help!
