Belkin Router Wireless-G

It also says your "Friends" connection could also be the problem.

I walked my mother through the steps. Her router has a range option.

*sorry for the tedious questions* But your router's firmware is also up to date? Do you have a firewall setup on your router? Encryption on your wireless connection?

I updated my firmware, disabled my router firewall, and the WEP encryption is no secret to me

I may try that Lenny.. We have had several conversations on the phone with Nintendo, and they did what they thought to be effective, but unfortunetly it didn't work. I may call them again here shortly.

I've never been one for networking, and all I've learnt has been since midday this Saturday for my Networking assignment, so I might be terribly wrong here, but if your Mam's Wii is listening on every port, it shouldn't matter which port you open for yours.

So if you open port 7720 (inbound and private, TCP&UDP) for and link it with the IP address of your Wii, then connect to your Mam, it might work. If it does, I'd try going back into her router settings and doing the same - open port 7720 (inbound and private, TCP&UDP) and link it to the IP address of her Wii.
