1. Go into the Nintendo DSi menu (Wrench icon on the main menu screen.


2. Select "Internet," and "Connection Settings."


3. Erase your existing Internet Connection Settings and set up a new connection.
   
4. Once you have established and tested a successful connection test, try the connection to the Nintendo DSi Shop again.

If you have verified that your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system's internet connection is working, then there could be a temporary issue with the Nintendo DSi Shop. Please wait awhile and try your connection again.
I hope this helps :D

The DSI has the ability to connect to wireless networks. This means that if you are at home, or somewhere that offers Free Public Wifi, you can join that network and use the wireless on your Nintendo DSI. Otherwise, you will not be able to connect wirelessly to networks without their password.

These instructions come from http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/dsi/en_na/usb/index.jsp and should be able to help you solve your problem. Good luck!

1. Turn on your Nintendo DSi and access the System Settings by clicking on the wrench icon.
   
   
2. Scroll over to the third page, and select "Internet."
   
   
3. Now choose "Connection Settings."
   
   


4. Click on "None" for "Connection 1."
   
   (Don't see "None" for Connection 1? To ensure any existing settings don't interfere with getting connected, tap the button, then choose "Clear Settings.")
5. Click on "Search for an Access Point."
   
   


6. The Nintendo DSi will search for any wireless networks within range. Once it is finished searching, it will display the names of all the wireless networks it finds. Look for your wireless network. (If you're not sure which is yours, or you don't see any wireless networks, click here.)
   


7. What to do next will depend on the "lock" icon you see next to your network on the Nintendo DSi. Click the image below that matches the lock icon you see on the screen of your Nintendo DSi.
   
   

You need to connect using a Wireless Access Point, or Wifi internet connection.

If you have a home wireless network, you can use that.


Instructions here
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/dsi/en_na/usb/index.jsp

You need to make sure that the wireless router in your home has either WEP, WPA, WPA2, or no encryption. If it is set to any other encryption level, the DSi will not be able to connect to the network, no matter what.
To set up the network on the DSi, you need to go into the System Settings from the main screen. Go to page 3 of the settings and tap 'internet', then 'connection settings'. Choose any of the 3 connections, and hit the button next to the one you've chosen.
You should be able to automatically connect by clicking "Search for an Access Point". After the list of access points is generated, choose the one whose name matches the name of your network. If the connection has a little 'lock' symbol next to it, it means it is encrypted. You will need to either enter the network key that is assigned to your router, or remove the encryption from your router (not recommended). After that, save the settings and let the DSi test the connection, and you should be finished.

Here is a link to the downloadable Nintendo DSi XL manual: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/UTL_ops_eng.pdf

On page 73 of the manual it has a good description on what the requirements are to connect the DSi to the internet. At a minimum you would need a broadband internet connection (cable modem, DSL, etc.), and a wireless router to run a wireless network. The DSi connects to the internet over a wireless (Wi-fi) network.

Once you have the equipment set up you need to join your DSi to your wireless network. Page 79 of the manual describes the most common scenario for connecting a DSi to a home wireless network.

hi an ip adress is the numeric adress that your Internet Service Provider gives you that your modem holds in memory. to find yours go to google and type in "MY IP ADRESS"

Greetings,

Here are the steps to connecting to a wireless network with your Dsi according to Nintendo:

1. Turn on your Nintendo DSi and access your system settings by clicking on the wrench icon.
2. Scroll over to the third page, and select "Internet."
3. Now choose "Connection Settings."
4. Click on "None" in "Connection 1."
5. The easiest way to get connected to Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection is through the "Search for an Access Point" function of the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL.

Thank you for using FixYa! =) If I helped, please give me a rating.

Error Code: 051099 This error code can occur for two different reasons:

• You are trying to agree to the User Agreement of the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL, but are receiving error code 51099. This can occur if the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL tries to connect to Nintendo's servers to download the User Agreement, but there is no existing Internet connection setup on the system. To connect your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL to the Internet, please click here.
• You are trying to play a Nintendo DS game online with a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL, but your home Internet is set to WPA security. Please read the following:

There appears to be a compatibility issue with the security settings on your router:
Are you using WPA security?

No, I am using WEP security

If you are using a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL, you will be able to connect online and use many online features with WPA security. However, you will not be able to play original Nintendo DS games that are Wi-Fi compatible, as they are only programmed to work with WEP security. In order to play these games online, you will need to do the following (If you are not receiving this error when attempting to connect games online, click here):

• Change your wireless security to WEP or temporarily disable wireless security if you wish to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.


• If you are unable to log into your router or do not know how, you can check our router look-up page (link) to see if it is listed. If your model number is not listed, check any similar models from the same manufacturer for default information. If you are still unable to log into your router, please refer to the router manufacturer or the company that provided it.


• Make sure your router is not on our list of incompatible routers. If it is, we recommended using a router that is compatible or co nnecting from a hotspot location.


• The wireless security settings are typically found under sections labeled 'Wireless', 'Basic Wireless' or 'Wireless Security'.


• Change the security mode to WEP, and chose your encryption type. The 64-bit encryption type typically uses a 10 character key while the 128-bit encryption type uses a 26 character key. Hexadecimal keys consist of letters A-F and 0-9, whereas ASCII keys have no limitations and are case sensitive. Be sure to use the key that is listed in 'key slot 1' and make sure you are not using a 'passphrase'. For specific information about changing your security type please see your router's manual or contact the manufacturer.
Important Note: it is recommended that any changes made to the router are performed from a computer that is wired via Ethernet cable to the router. In addition, any changes made to wireless security must also be adjusted on other wireless devices in the home that use the router (e.g. laptops, other game systems, etc). For instructions on how to change these devices, refer to the user manuals for these devices or contact the manufacturer.


• Establish a connection in connection files 1-3 on the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL. Make sure you are putting the WEP key into the Nintendo DSi exactly as it appears on your router page.

If the error persists while using WEP (or if you are receiving this error with other Wi-Fi features), follow these steps:

• Keep trying, as there may be a temporary network issue. If the problem persists, or has been consistent over a period of time, move on to the next step.


• Configure the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL manually
  Please note: if your router is set to broadcast the network but the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL is not finding the access point then a manual setup will not resolve the error. There may be another problem, such as interference, or a basic setting in your router that is causing compatibility issues. Be sure that your router is set to 'Enable SSID broadcast' or 'Enable Wireless broadcast'. If you prefer to keep your network name hidden, verify the correct spelling and case of your router's SSID.
  

if your computer can do the internet, the only thing i can suggest as i have limited knowledge is that you get a Nintendo LAN adapter which you plug into your computer when its online and it sends the WiFi signal to the DSi
