wep encryption & wii

hi folks, today i realised that my home network is unsecure when my bro-in-law brought his laptop round and connected automatically. that is not the problem but i have just noticed an unwanted "Intruder" has also accessed it within the last 2weeks

i have now enabled WEP encrpytion and the network is secure, however, my wii will not connect to my router/internet.

i am getting the following error codes: 52030 / 52031 / 52130. i have been to the website which tells me what they mean and followed their instructions but i still cannot get online.

has anybody overcome this problem without having to turn off the wep and making their network unsecure again?

many thanx for any input
pete

Have you told the Wii what your wep key is?

Re: wep encryption & wii

All i had to do with my Wii and wireless network was to type my code into the Wii when it found my network and it worked flawlessly.

Re: wep encryption & wii

thanx for the replies.
i think that i have sorted it now. what i never did was tell my router what the mac address was for the wii. i have done this for both wii and ds and they are working fine with encryption on
my head is hurting though
thanx again
pete
