I cant seem to find these things because they were discontinued (duh) but i got lucky today and i saw one
on display today at a store but i didnt pick it up...

just wanted to confirm with those who do have it with them now, is it still working? does it still allow
online connection? is the connector still functionable?

i dont wanna dump 30 bucks for the connector and find out later that it is completely useless...

I think it only works with Windows XP, or maybe lower. You should go to the nintendo site as the people at the site might be able to help you.

If you have Vista u can also get it to work with vista as well u will just have to download for the vista version from the nintendo website. I have the adapter for a long time it works great.

because of the discontinuation. i assumed from that, that the connector would become deactivated or something... so i can safely buy one and use the adapter for my Wii and DS... thx!

I had one and quickly stopped trying to get it work when I wanted it. Nothing but problems but you may have better luck. I finally went with a wireless router.
