i can connect, but i cant connect to people and vice versa. i keep getting this error. i went to nintendowifi.com and:

Unable to establish UDP connection to the game server.

Please verify that your UDP settings match the settings on your firewall.

Home:
If this error occurs regularly, while you are playing at home, it is likely a connection problem related to your firewall settings. For more information on firewalls and the Nintendo WFC

I clicked a link and it gave me this info:

Firewall compatibility

Firewalls can be very tricky to get working when attempting to do online gaming. Software firewalls, hardware firewalls, and firewall-enabled routers can affect communications within your network. You may want to consider temporarily disabling, or remove firewall products or incompatible software or hardware firewalls installed on home networks to enable game play.

If you are technically experienced and have good knowledge of networks and network configuration the following detailed information regarding required protocols, ports and communication needs needed by Nintendo DS systems and/or the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector may be helpful.

Nintendo DS units and the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector require unrestricted access to several sites across various ports and protocols to function correctly. These addresses and ports vary according to game, and may change in the future without notice. We will continue to make reasonable efforts to update required addresses, ports and protocols as these change over time.

While Nintendo makes a concerted effort to test and document known incompatibilities with software and hardware, it is impossible for us to test and document them all. Detailed information regarding the necessary ports and sites has been included below for those customers who want to use and configure their own software or hardware firewall.

Does anyone know how to disable all the firewalls? or somethin....
