I haven't seen anyone else post this problem anywhere ( Or if they have, I totally missed it ), but whenever I try to download something from the eShop on my 3DS, it always ends up in an error unless I turn off my router's firewall. Once I do, I have to keep it off until I'm finished downloading.
Anyone else having this problem? And better yet, anyone else have a solution? It'd be nice to not have to turn off my firewall just to download something. I really hope this won't be an issue with online play...
That's odd. Did you give your 3DS a static IP address (aka DHCP reservation) in your router before port forwarding it? Hmm... can't think of why this would happen. Maybe you've incorrectly set your WEP/WPA password on your 3DS?
Can your computers and other devices play games online without problems?
Well, at least it can work if you turn off the firewall. :/
I made sure to double check everything, following each step exactly. Everything is inserted correctly, I am sure of that. Really, the online itself works, it's just when I download titles, it'll give me an error unless I turn off the firewall.
Yeah, everything works fine. The 3DS is the first time this sort of thing's happened to me. Not even my DSi has these problems.
Thanks a lot for your help, though! I really, really appreciate it.
