Seriously, what's up with Brawl online?

I have my Wii connected to the internet using the Wii lan adapter and it keeps on saying it is connecting when I go to play it online but I can't get into any online games. It keeps coming up with Error Code: 85010.

I know there is a sticky about Brawl but I doubt anyone will help me in the sticky so...yea...does anyone know what's going on with Brawl's online?

It's launch day, the servers are probably really bogged down. Give it time.

Hopefully that's the only reason I can't get online cause the main reason I bought Brawl was for the online.

I will never understand why guys like you son;t just call Nintendo...wouldn;t that be easier?

I mean, no offense at all just i think you will get a much more competent help by calling Nintendo's own support.l

good luck

He would probably just like to know if anyone else is having the same problem. And yes, I am. I got into a couple laggy matches earlier today. And I just played a couple more pretty smooth matches before I started getting booted left and right.

Our experience shows that error messages within this range are typically caused by temporary network issues with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If there is a problem with the network, our technician's will work to get the service back up as soon as possible. Please retry your connection later.

If you are connecting to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for the first time, or the problem has not resolved itself after a few hours, please review the following:

1. Ours servers may be trying to handle an unusually high amount of traffic (especially if you are trying to play online with a recently-released or popular game, or if there is a new Wii system update). Please wait a few hours and try the connection again later.

2. How are you connecting online? The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is only compatible with Cable, DSL, and Fiber-optic internet connections. If you are connecting via Satellite, EV-DO (cellular), Dial-up, or other types of connections, then you should try to use an alternate type of connection. Contact your Internet Service Provider if you are not sure what type of internet connection you have.

3. The error may be caused by a basic setting on the router that needs to be adjusted (such as the channel). Please review our general router troubleshooting.

If you have tried all of the steps above with no success and you have been encountering the error for a period of at least a few hours, please call 1-800-255-3700. Our representatives are available between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time, seven days a week.

I don't have Brawl so this is just a wild guess: Try putting your Wii in your router's DMZ. Uh, that sounds nasty, doesn't it? :)

If this solves the problem, to make the solution permanent you need to assign a fixed IP address to your Wii (one which isn't in the range assigned by your router's DHCP server) and configure that IP address to be the DMZ.

Um what? Anyway, my Wii is connected with an ethernet cable using the Wii Lan Adapter.
