We'll be needing a bit more info than that sir!

First off, are you on a wireless internet connection? If so, click on the Wii button in the bottlom left corner of the Wii menu, go to options and then click on Internet. You then just have to sort out details regarding your internet connection, and you should be away to go =]

If you're wired to the internet, you'll have to buy one of the USB-ethernet adapters going around, but make sure it's one specifically designed for the Wii; other ones won't work apparantly.

Hope that helps!

He may also be asking about the World Wide Web.

If you meet all the requirements Jazzem is suggesting, then you should know you need a browser (just like any computer).

The Wii browser is Opera and is downloadable from the Wii Shop Channel (it costs 500 Wii points, about 5€).
The Wii Shop Channel is accessible from your Wii main manu, of course you have to be already connected.

I think you should focus on this question: how are other machines connected to the Internet in your house?
If you have a wireless router, you can start right now, otherwise...we need more infos (and you need to buy some extra hardware).


[EDIT]: I read again Jazzem post; if you have a wired connection you may chose to go wireless (USB Wi-fi, which will also bring your DS onine) or stay wired (and you need an lan adapter AND a patch cable).

Only you're not allowed to swear on these here boards...you'll annoy Sherriff DEMON212 and his deputies (myself included).

Try to watch your language mate...another slip is a ban.
