Even I googled and couldnt come up with a link like that. T h a n k s . Anyways. Pretty much above my head. Im pretty new to this router stuff and what not. Is there a quick/easy fix for this instead of going through all of that? If there isnt maybe you or someone can break it down better for me to help me understand better. Is this more of a router issue or more of an ip address issues coming from that device with the 172.16.0.1?
Ok, before we can help you, we need to know a lot more about your network setup. How do you connect to the internet? What kind of internet service do you have? Are you using a router? If so, what is the make and model of the router? How is your network connected together? Are there any USB connections involved? Which version of Windows are you running? What exactly are you doing when you get this error? Right now we are all running at this blind, so we need a lot more background in order to know where to even start.
Ok, here's where I am not following you. You say you have a Linksys BEFSR41 router. That is an ethernet router with no wireless capability. The Ninetendo USB wireless adapter cannot make a connection to that router, and therefore, all instructions about changing IP addresses on the router have absolutely no bearing on your setup. Where are you getting the wireless connection from? I still don't understand your problem because I don't understand what the wireless adapter is doing on your network.

The nintendo ds uses wifi. So nintendo came out with a usb wifi adapter for people that dont have a wireless router. Like myself. If I didnt change the ip address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 the wifi adapter wouldnt install properly or work. It sounds kinda weird. But are you somewhat following me? Im not sure how else to explain this situation. Let me provide you the install link for this usb wifi adapter and hopefully this will shed some light on the situation. http://www.nintendowifi.com/consumerservice/gettingStarted.do?entryId=home I actually just went there and you gotta answer a couple questions. The first would be yes 2nd no and then follow onto the usb instructions for install. I have also noticed when I installed this adapter it enabled ICS if thats relavent to anything.

Sure. It might be a book but I will try to describe all this best way possible. Here we go. I have Charter cable internet. My pc has windows xp home edition on it. I also have norton 2k5 on my pc as well. I have internet worm protection on with windows firewall off. As suggested be symantec when I installed it. I have a wired router which is a LinkSys BEFSR41 V4 with newest firmware installed. The only thing I have hooked up to the actual router is my pc and xbox 360 itself. Now heres the tricky part and this where that ip address of 172.16.0.1 is coming from my nintendo wifi usb adapter. As stated everything works fine but I just get that error in event viewer. Nintendo had suggested to do this when installing the wifi adapter which I did. Note: If you have any type of router connected to your computer, check your Router's LAN address. If the LAN address is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, we recommend changing it to 192.168.2.1 in order to avoid a conflict that will likely prevent the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector from installing. Please consult your router manual or contact the router manufacturer for information on how to change these settings. Even with that setting with the 2.1 on the end I still get the error. I have changed it to 1.2 and even that doesnt solve it. Now keep in mind with the router settings thats the ONLY thing I have touched in all the settings. Just changing the ip address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 Also in my router settings for internet connection type its set on obtain ip automatically not sure if you needed to know that or not. Just thought I would mention it. So in the end I dont know if I tackle this problem within my routers settings or actually go through the pc settings to fix this. Like I said please bare with me im new to this. If im still being to vague and you need more info. Please let me know I will be happy to post more info if needed. Thanks for the help.
Maybe if we do the following, I can help solve this problem more easily. On the computer to which the USB device is attached. go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.
Can you explain why the Nintendo USB adapter has DHCP disabled and a static IP address set. Did you set it up that way or is that the way it comes from the factory. It seems to me that if it is going to work, that it should be set to obtain an IP address automatically, so that it can get the IP address from the router.
Steve
Thats the way it came from the factory. I havent touched anything. About changing it to obtain an ip automatically. I believe I have tried that and it didnt pick up anything or when it did the adapter would work but my internet didnt.
********Update**********
Went ahead and changed it to obtain ip automatically. It found an ip and what not. Pc internet works fine. However after restarting my pc the internet still works fine but my usb adapter cannot find an ip address. It just keeps saying aquiring address and nothing happens.
This is what microsoft has to say on it when I click the info button.
Explanation
The IP address is not within the scope of addresses allocated for Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or Routing and Remote Access network address translation (NAT).
The most probable cause is incorrect manual configuration of the IP address.
User Action
To automatically reconfigure the IP address, disable and then re-enable either ICS or the Routing and Remote Access NAT component.
To disable and re-enable ICS
In Windows Explorer, click My Network Places.
Right-click the ICS adapter that you want to share, and then select Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
In the Internet Connection sharing area, clear the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection box, and then click OK.
In the Network Connections window, right-click the ICS adapter, and then select Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
Select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection box, and then click OK.
You can disable and then re-enable the Routing and Remote Access NAT component by opening Routing and Remote Access in Administrative Tools.
Ive done the enable and disable of the ics through the actual pc adapter. That didnt solve anything. Looking more into this. About disabling and then re-enabling Routing and Remote Access NAT component. I find it is disabled. Now under the log on tab for hardware profile it said profile1 service enabled. I just disabled it as we speak. Maybe thats the problem? I dont seem to think though.

It seems to me that if it is going to work, that it should be set to obtain an IP address automatically, so that it can get the IP address from the router.
I really hate these non-standard game adapters. I think what you need to do is enable internet connection sharing on the network adapter that connects directly to your router and then assign the USB adapter an IP address in the range that router would normally assign. This would be something like 192.168.1.20, assuming that you haven't changed the IP address of the Linksys router. Try that and see if it works.
Of course the easiest way to fix everything is to dump the USB wirelss adapter and your current router and get a wireless router. How much did you pay of the USB device? Wireless routers can be found for less than $50.

Went ahead and changed the ip address within the wifi usb adapter and the ics is on. The error came up again in event viewer with this.
The DHCP allocator has disabled itself on IP address 192.168.1.20, since the IP address is outside the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 scope from which addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP allocator on this IP address, please change the scope to include the IP address, or change the IP address to fall within the scope.
Would I need to change the subnet mask as well within in wifi usb adapters settings. Its subnet mask is 255.255.0.0

That's going to take me a while to figure out. I don't have a lot of time right now, so it will have to wait until I can find some time.
