Since Sp3 install, my son's Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connection fails to connect
sporadically. We seem to have narrowed it down to something to do with
Windows firewall. (?) Any suggestions?

You can always disable the windows firewall, most likely you are using a
wireless router and most probably it has its own firewall built in so
you really don't need the windows one.

No , not true. The wi-fi is a simple USB device. I'm still hooked up to
cable and I need a firewall. The Nintendo wi-fi is listed as an exemption
but it will still be unable to connect sometimes. At those times if I shut
off the firewall it works (?)
