Do you know if you can use a nintendo DS on the uni's wifi system?

I would be interested to know - i could buy the web browser add on and check my e-mail on the move :P

I don't know the Ds system, but the Uni's wireless system requires you to install an application which takes some control away from the wireless login. I'm going to say that it is unlikely that this program will run natively on a Ds, but there might be a freeware version out there somewhere.

On my DS lite I can only access wireless networks that are WEP encrypted. And it doesn't have it's own search function so you have to know the full details of the network you're trying to connect to. It's fun at home but I rarely use it on the move. The Opera browser is also a bit of a let down.
