Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector Pop-Up

Hi,

I have recently got the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector and it is a great piece of kit. Get a full signal for my DS and my Wii...

One thing that I do not like about the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector is the Pop-up you get on the desktop saying that a device has connected to it.

If you have you Wii connected to the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector and have WiiConnect24 on this pop-up comes on screen about every 10minuntes or so as the Wii checks for updates.

What I want to know is if there is any way of turning this pop-up off?

Thanks
S.

Re: Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector Pop-Up

does this thing support WPA-PSK (as the DS doesnt support this)

can i connect a psp/ps3 to it?
if not...what equalivent device can i buy that will enable me to connect DS/Wii/PSP/PS3 to internet via my laptop.
(i already hav a wireless router...but it too far for a decent signal for games)
