Anyone know how Wii is connected to the Internet? I heard somewhere that it only has an USB entrance thingy (never remember the international word) and that with the console it follows a converter where u put the Internet cable into and plugs into the Wii USB. However this would mean that u have to remove your Internet connection from your computer to Wii, which sounds kinda stupid.

It has built in wireless, so if you have a wireless router it'll connect automatically.

its clear you're much smarter than me, i could never figure it out.
So you havent seen the E3 2006 or gone to Nintendos website and read some of their info, all this info right infront of your eyes and you cant come to a conclusion. Its clear you want to be spoon feed everything so I refuse to continue this pointless argument.

Then I believe you need an ethernet adapter for the Wii, which you can plug a regular ethernet cable from your modem into. If you have a router, you don't need to unhook your computer from the internet or anything.
I do have a router, however that one is 10 meters away from my computer, which has a 15 meter cable running to the router. So in this case I have to choose between Wii internet or COmputer internet, is it possible to split one cable into to two cables? Like a "ethernet extansion cable" thingy?

You would need a wired router or a wireless router. Then all you have to do is connect them using a CAT5 (Ethernet Cable) to your PC and Xbox or using the Xbox Wireless WiFi adaptor.

If your router has multiple ethernet ports (which it should), then you simply need another cable.
