::: You're doing something incorrectly then, it worked on both my router and girlfriend's games (HG/SS and Diamond.) And you can't deposit pokemon into this program as it just spoofs auto-obtain (like when a successful traded pokemon comes through GTS.) I don't understand what you're getting at because you obviously didn't follow the directions if you connect to the regular GTS options screen. If you had set your Nintendo Wi-Fi settings up correctly you will either a) get a connection error because the GTS server domain is not resolving (because your DNS is pointing to their server so GTS can be spoofed) or b) the pokemon will come down as if it was traded to you through GTS. --[[User:Dwarvencrafts|Dwarvencrafts]] 15:59, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

::::: @Dwarvencrafts: Should I take pictures of my connection screen(s) on the DS and prove to you that I have done it right? Because I can do that if you want. --[[User:Nou|Nou]] 18:42, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


:::: One mistake that I sometimes make is hitting B after changing the primary DNS server. Are any of you doing that, by any chance? You have to hit "Save Settings" at the bottom of the screen after changing the primary DNS server, because if you hit B, it cancels what you did instead. Try choosing "Save Settings" and see if that works. [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 18:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

::::: No, I've saved the settings and have tried putting the IP from that linked server as BOTH the primary and secondary, instead of just the primary (and leaving secondary at 0.0.0.0), still just gives me the normal GTS. Which is annoying, because people say it works for them... but it doesn't work for me. I'm not sure if it's my copy of Soul Silver, or my router (Netgear, Pre-draft N wireless) or if it just doesn't really work. But it ticks me off all the same. I've been trying for hours and it just gives me the normal GTS. --[[User:Nou|Nou]] 18:41, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::: Try googling for a sendpkm.py howto yourself if you're that curious about this method and use a .pkm file of your from pkmndb.com to drag on the script, perhaps it will enable you to troubleshoot why you cannot connect to the Pokemon Fan Center's server. I'd link to a foolproof guide but unfortunately it's on a GBA emulator site and admins would most likely disapprove. Honestly I can't see what is going wrong with your setup, even my old counterfeit platinum cartridge can connect to this server. --[[User:Incorrectbacon|Incorrectbacon]] 20:24, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::: Did that, installed Python and the script and it seems to work on the local connection but won't work for the "event" servers outside my network, what the heck? I don't think my firewall should be blocking any of the ports that they want. :/ --[[User:Nou|Nou]] 02:26, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I must admit I was quite surprised this made frontpage on Bulbanews; I thought people here were promoting fairplay. On the other hand, the specific use of the exploit described in the article is "fairplay" enough; I guess my initial response was rushed. Ultimately, I believe this is for the better, the faster Gamefreak learns about the exploit, the better our chances for a clean and fair Generation 5, without cheaters all around; I believe all will agree that the current set of games couldn't be more broken. We an give them no blame if they decide to make the two DS generations incompatible. [[User:Arty2|Arty2]] 07:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
After messing around with it for a long time, I realized I couldn't get it to work in any form on Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver but yet, I got it to work on Diamon and Pearl and I didn't receive any error messages nor was kicked off the GTS, in fact the GTS worked just as normal and I was able to leave on my own volition. ~~Zetaphrem
