Hi guys

My nephew who lives with me is banned from the internet, ive just come in and found him on the net using the Wii?  I didnt even know you could do this and not sure how he has done it and how i can take it off or stop this?  any ideas anyone?

Just take away his Wii, his mobile phone and lock away your laptop.

If he's banned from the internet (why? - no - don't tell us!) he is banned - and as you are the responsible adult it is your responsibility to ensure that he does not access it.

not sure how he did it,but you can do it with all the game stations now,i have a wii and just setting it up is hard enough without trying to conect to the internet as well hehe.Get him to discounect from the internet or ban it i say.
Good luck

Do you have a wireless internet connection in your house?  If so, you could just change the password

Here is the information regarding Wii internet connection

Most of the electronics that kids have nowadays are possible to connect.  Mobile phones are another one to watch as he will be able to connect whenever and wherever he likes. 

Without a wired or wireless internet option in your house he'll still be able to connect using a mobile connection 'dongle'.

You either have to be able to trust him, or remove his 'toys' for a while.  Good luck with that :)

OOOh, naughty (clever) boy! Dogs a babe is right, the easiest way to prevent him getting on line with devices that have online capability would be to change the security settings and have a new WEP code.
In the meantime console (did you like my pun there? ;) ) yourself that said nephew has got good problem solving skills. Here's a heads up for you, if the boy has a DSi he'll be able to gain internet access through that too, it never ends!!!!!!

oh no lol  Thanks so much for your help guys will try your suggestions, im in catch 22 as cant really take everything off him, but needs to be watched ref internet for his own saftey (cant discuss on here so sorry for being vague) thanks once again guys

opps arent kids cheaky these days, lol,

we got a wii for xmas for our son and i got the thing set up all right with our wep code but cant see how you actully go surfing the net with it gosh im so old :-(

you can put a parent password on the wii , wouldnt that stop him accessing the net

One of the options on the wii start up menu is the downloads channel, on there you can buy the browsing software for some pounds (can't remember how much) which will let you surf the net. When the wii first came out the internet 'channel' was a free download but you have to pay for it now.
