    What I do not understand, it is how you carried out your addressing. You do it manually? You do not have a router and thus of waiter DHCP it is that? All is an access point connected together through?

    Here's how to use your Mac to share your internet connection with your DS:

    1. Make sure you're connected to the internet via something other than the AirPort card (i.e. Ethernet).

    2. Turn on Internet Sharing:
    * Go to System Preferences, click on the Sharing icon, then click on the Internet tab.
    * Change the Share your connection from: pop-up to 'Built-in Ethernet.'
    * Under the To computers using section, check the AirPort box.
    * Click Airport options...
    o Enter an easy name such as nds. Leave all the security options blank -- implementing security is an exercise left to the reader -- then click OK.
    * Click Start in the Internet Sharing panel.
    For sharing internet access with other computers, this is usually sufficient. However, the DS doesn't play well with the built-in DHCP server, so we have to manually configure the DS. To do this we, must gather some info...

    3. Gather Information:
    * Open Terminal.app and type ifconfig en1. In the output...
    o Look for: inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask ...
    o Take note the IP Address (the x's) associated with the first inet (mine was 10.0.2.1; yours may be different).
    * Type dig. Near the bottom of this output will be SERVER: followed by an IP address. This will be the DNS server you will use for your DS.

    4. Configure the DS:
    * Edit your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings from within a compatible game.
    * Select a connection to edit.
    * Choose Manual Setup.
    * Enter the following parameters:
    o SSID: nds (or whatever you chose in step one)
    o Auto-obtain IP Address: No
    o IP Address: Take the first IP Address you obtained earlier, and make the last digit bigger. i.e., mine could be 10.0.2.4
    o Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    o Gateway: The first IP Address, unchanged. (e.g. 10.0.2.1)
    o Auto-obtain DNS: No
    o Primary DNS: your DNS SERVER from the earlier dig output.
    * Test your connection at the top of the screen. You should have no problem connecting.

    That's it, now just have fun!
