ps I reinstalled the computer do I need to clear my settings on the wii and redo the whole thing? thanks.......

Harsh measures lol.

Yeah clear your wii settings and start from scratch. Make sure all your passwords etc match and net settings.

Without knowing more I can't really offer any more advice.

I'm sorry for annoying everybody but I have another problem........ Everything was fine after I took Lepruk86's advice by clearing my wii settings and just redoing my internet connection thing. So I played a couple of online races of mario kart and after about 7 races it threw me out and I tried going into it again but then that error code 51340 came up again so I went on to the wii internet to see if it was working but it wasn't. I am now getting very confused because I fixed that problem about 2 hours ago should I just bring it back to the shop I got it from and replace or is their anyway I can fix this I really need somebodys help. I am starting to get angry and very very confused.

It might help if you told us what apparatus you are using to connect the Wii with. Is it a Ninty Wi-Fi USB adapter or a router ?

If it is the former, try disabling all your firewalls. See if that helps - there is a known collision problem between those USB adapters and firewalls.

[tortoise girl]

Yes I do use a Wi-Fi USB adaptor and we do have firewalls but if I got rid of all the firewalls on our computer would that affect the safety on our computer? if so is there anything else I can use instead of a USB adaptor... I really need somebodys help.....

[Lepruk86]

Why do you use an adapter? Assuming you have a router surely your wii can connect straight to it?

As for firewalls you can set-up specific access for devices or alter your security settings to something like WEP (lower security but still provides a password).

Allowing TCP and UDP Traffic:
The Wii console may require unrestricted access to several sites across various ports and protocols to function correctly. These addresses and ports vary, and may change in the future without notice. Many software firewalls restrict outbound access. Only if your firewall blocks outbound traffic do you need to enable this traffic:

TCP:
Allow traffic to all destinations on ports: 28910, 29900, 29901, 29920, 80, and 443

UDP:
Allow all traffic to all destinations. (Necessary for peer-to-peer connections and game play). Our Network Test tool can be used from a computer behind your firewall to test if outbound UDP is allowed.

Opening up those ports may help with random disconnects as well. Good luck and hope you get it sorted. (again without seeing the PC and Wii it is hard to be helpful any further)
