Re: Connecting the Wii through Vista

Yes as I said in my other post, you'll need to move the IP address of the
LAN on the router to something other than 192.168.0.xxx, I'd suggest that
you try 192.168.1.xxx or for the router 192.168.1.1 and LAN1 of 192.168.1.2.
Nothing should really need be set different in the PC, because you are
connecting to a Wii.
