    Have you a firewall set on your network? It may be blocking your DS from connecting

    What security do you have on your home network?

    The Nintendo DS doesn't support WPA/WPA2, which is what most people use nowadays :(

    Strange, it should work with WEP enabled. How about MAC address filtering? That turned on or off?

    DS aside, I would suggest getting rid of WEP in favour of WPA or WPA 2. I wouldn't lower the protection on my wireless just to go online with the DS. It's annoying but a secure network wins out in the end ;)
