For those having problem connecting to the Shop channel (As I was before changing this setting) there's an easy setting to change that may fix your problems. I read this elsewhere, but it fixed my wii connection for me: change the channel that your wireless router broadcasts on.It's in your router settings - see your manual as to how to access it. Usually it's 192.168.1.1 for linksys routers. My default channel was 6 and I changed it to 11 and then reconnected my wii. I've had no problems connecting to the Shop Channel after I made that change.I have a "WRT54G" linksys, if you were wondering.
It would be interesting to see if its possible to redirect the Wii shop site to a different site at your router, one that allows you to browse the Internet by forwarding you to different sites with javascript, there are a few webbased browsers out there. No need to buy an addon browser :)

Looks like the links from jacobmp92 are no longer working. :( Both redirect to wii.com directly now, I'm afraid.

We needed a packet sniffer for various interesting details. Why are you getting worked up over this? :)

I dunno, I wrote that last night and methinks I was tired and cranky. Too much listening to John C. Dvorak possibly? Oh well, sorry about that.
