DS Wifi15 Mar 2006 07:08 am
Hello again, the test app has been updated to allow outoging TCP connections to be made! There are still a few bugs and things not 100% implemented at the moment, but you can connect to servers and download webpages! Still some work to be done but very exciting :)
The lib test is in the usual place at wifi_lib_test_.nds and wifi_lib_test_.ds.gba
I’m also updating the 1emulation.com thread.
And for all of you sissies out there who don’t know how to make a valid HTTP request, connect to a site and type the following in (sans quotes):
“GET / HTTP/1.0″ followed by tapping CR and CR
:) enjoy

how can I view webpages or similar? I get some errors..

Can you be more specific? Given what you’ve said I don’t have a clue as to what your problem is.
If you think you’re supposed to see a graphical rendering of a webpage however, this is incorrect- this is a protocol level test and only allows you to see the source code that gets sent over the internet representing a webpage.

This is soo cool. Now we can expect lots and lots of programs being released!!

Could you make the .nds file compatible with the Multi-NDSLoader? Right now it doesn’t have an icon in the listing and it hangs at “waiting for ARM7 to init..” Thanks,

dslinux already has a web browser ;)

Should this work with a soft-AP?
I think have one running with all settings right. I can connect to the soft-AP, but when I try to do anything I just get a black screen for a while and then nothing happens.
If I try the Wardriving feature it tells me that WEP is off, but I can’t find any option in the soft-AP settings to turn it on or off.
Sorry if I’m being annoying. =)

Of course!!

How do you connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector?

Awesome!
I associated with my WEP’d AP, DNS’d OK, connected to a host, and transmitted stuff both ways! My biggest problem was that I’m not too accurate with the keyboard. :) (I’m sure that’ll come with practice…)
DHCP didn’t work for me, but I’m not sure whether that’s intended to be working (maybe not?).
Anyway, I’m very excited for release of the library with TCP. Can’t wait!

Gina: sorry, I’m not sure what the problem is – the next version I release might fix it, but I don’t know, I’ll try to do some research on it.
OHGOME: Troll! Troll!
mrNinya: you just get a blank screen? please be more specific. If you made it into the TCP connection and connected to a host, this is expected (ever use telnet?)
Ap: search on google/1emu forums, lots of other places have tutorials
Scott: Great :) (and yes, DHCP isn’t there yet)

[...] Steve Stair’s announcement that outgoing TCP/IP is done comes as a welcome relief for many. It’s been a long time, though considering the amount of work taken to get this far, that’s perfectly understandable. Me, I’m not terribly worried about incoming TCP; though of course it would be nice to have a complete network protocol suite, it’s the ability to make connections to existing servers, and to start writing proper network games that really has me jazzed. In fact, I also have several games half ready to go, though they need some work; I’ve been distracted by other things, and their polish isn’t wholly applied yet. [...]

Keep up the progress.

Great blog.. =] and thnaks for the dswifi project,, its fantastics.. you´re the best!

Using the demo program, I discovered that the neighbor behind our house has a broadband connection and it works great from my bedroom. Thanks again,

Thank you sgstair for your awesome software :-)
I’m very excited for the future applications of your library :-)
March 16th, 2006 at 5:11 pm
Do you need working DNS to test the outgoing TCP? I’m not able to get outgoing TCP connections to work, and I’m not sure if it is a DNS issue or what.
A couple of questions:
Do you need working DNS to connect to a host specified by a dotted ip address? I.e., 192.168.1.3 or something
Can you specify a wep key in ascii, or does it need to be in decimal/hex?

all my wildest dreams about the DS just came true.
once a tunneling community is established and i can play advance wars DS over the internet, i can die happy.. no.. wait, not till i play SSB3.. then i can die happy.
stephen, man. thank you so much for being the awesome person that you are. thank you for making this happen.

There is a way to highlight the pressed key but only write when unpressed.. so we can chouse the right key even with touchscreen miscalibration

Helo
I like your good wifi app. and i have a tip: you could make a buttom to switch off the light or when you close the screen the light will be off.?
You are the man Stephen

To all those guys asking for features and such in the wifi test app: Bear in mind that it is just a test application, designed to showcase the features of the library; it’s not a full-blown functional port of NetStumbler (darned close, mind). My point being, it’s not the main focus of the work being done. If you desire new features in the test app, anyone’s welcome to dive in and nab the source, since (I believe) it’s all BSD licensed.

Imran: Yup, though that’d be MIT licence :)

Sometimes “GET / HTTP/1.1″ isn’t enough. For some hosts, like what caitsith2.com is on, you have to do “GET / HTTP/1.1″, CR, “Host: http://www.caitsith2.com“, CR, CR, to get the desired page.
March 19th, 2006 at 7:42 am
caitsith: yes, but if you use HTTP/1.0 it will work :)

Awesome work.
WordPress is the best BTW.
