Connect Wii to wireless without internet connection Hi Guys, This is maybe an odd request, but I am desperatly trying to connect my Wii to my wireless network (for media streaming to the Wii) but I dont have an internet connection at home. Everytime I try to connect the Wii, I can see that the router allocates an IP to it, but then it drops the connection as there is no active internet connection. Is there a way to make it stay connected to the wireless without an internet connection??

I would love it if someone could get XBMC on the Wii. XBMC works so well on my original (very modded) xbox. But i dont like too much clutter around my tv. Just the sleek Wii not the big clunky xbox.

Until someone does that (if they ever do) i will have to make some playlists for MPlayer CE.]]> Chudson123 Getting StartedTue, 22 Sep 2009 16:41:00 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,34578#msg-34578 Re: Connect Wii to wireless without internet connectionhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,34578#msg-34578
I use DragonMedia Player to play music (I don't use Mplayer CE because of the reason you already stated) but it doesn't currently support SMB (it's on the TODO list but the app hasn't been updated in a while or so the wiki says). I did a fast search and didn't find an app that suits your needings (just in case you are looking for one with a way to stream your files throught your network), sorry.

Going to sleep now,

I am now connected to my internal network permantly! W00p!

I used MPlayer Ce to steam some video files all work fine.

Can anybody recommend an app to do music. Mplaye CE just plays one track then stops (then you have to select the next track) and i really cant be bothered creating a playlist for every album in my collection.]]> Chudson123 Getting StartedMon, 21 Sep 2009 08:59:48 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33742#msg-33742 Re: Connect Wii to wireless without internet connectionhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33742#msg-33742

What if i took my router an Wii to a friends house. Setup my router to connect to the internet, then connect the Wii to the router, which will (hopefully) connect as it will have an internet connection. Then disconnect the internet from the router. Will then the Wii stay connected to the router after the internet connection has gone????

If somebody could unplug their internet from the their router and check if the Wii still holds the connection between them.

Many Thanks in advance]]> Chudson123 Getting StartedTue, 15 Sep 2009 11:59:31 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33469#msg-33469 Re: Connect Wii to wireless without internet connectionhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33469#msg-33469
Sorry I didnt get back sooner, Havent got internet at home, had to wait till i got back to work.

I am trying to use MPlayer CE to access a network share on my PC. When i select 'Network share 1' (as the network addresses are configured in a config file for MPlayer CE) its comes back with the error Network unavailable (or something close to that)

I'm not sure how to check if the HB channel stays connected to the router but i guess that it doesnt. As in the Wii system menu it wont stay connected to the router.

Any recommendations??

my guess is since he didn't respond, he got it fixed... or he hasn't made his way back to an internet connection to reply :D

ftpii doesn't connect to an internet ftp server, it turns the wii INTO an ftp server and then you connect to it from your pc.

and wiiload talks directly from the pc to the wii.

No internet needed.]]> mdbrim Getting StartedSun, 13 Sep 2009 07:26:34 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33275#msg-33275 Re: Connect Wii to wireless without internet connectionhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33275#msg-33275 ChuckBartowski Getting StartedSun, 13 Sep 2009 04:22:24 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33263#msg-33263 Re: Connect Wii to wireless without internet connectionhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,32686,33263#msg-33263

I'd have to agree with TopGun96, why would you want to stay connected without internet.

Uhhh for the exact reason he said...

Quote
for media streaming to the Wii

you don't need the internet to do a bunch of stuff on the wii.. wiiload, ftpii, and for the reason he asked

i believe the answer is no.

of course you can.

He's not trying to connect it to the INTERNET... he's trying to connect it to his NETWORK.

By the way, he didn't answer back so I hope he found the answer.

Have a nice day!

When you open the homebrew channel... is it able to get, and stay, in touch with the router even if there's no internet? (I would test that by myself but my sisters are using it so I can't)
