u need a wireless internet router or a nintendo wifi thing.

if u have wireless internet, just get a ds game that has wifi and go to wifi settings. and just keep going untill you reach acess point 1, 2, 3. select 1 and then select "search for an access point" and then it'll search for it. if the signal's strong enough, then you can select to connect to the signal. then u just test the signal, if it works then your wifi bound. go to wifi match or watever it is and u just go from there.

A WEP key is the security key for your internet connection, everyone who knows about it has it. or WPA also. You can get the code in your router settings, if you dun have one you dun need one. but if you have one the code is generated then. you can see the code and put it in your DS. Can you tell me what router or wireless connection you use? Maybe i can find the settings.

If you need help finding your WEP key, this is how I find mine:

Start menu > Control Panel > Wireless Network Setup Wizard

Once here, click Next in the new window that pops up, then make sure you click on the bottom bubble for the task "Add new computers or devices to the "Insert name here" network. Click next again.
Now you click on the bubble that says "Set up a Network manually", click next again.
Finally, click on "Print Network Settings" and your WEP key should be in the little text file that pops up. Hope it helps. :)
