Hiya
i have a wii and there is a wireless USB adapter available for the wii that goes in the pc and grants access for the wii over the computer and DHCP or there is an adapter that you can plug an ethernet cable into for a wired connection.

But i dont think you can use an ordinary usb adapter for the wii as it doesnt have the software for it to run on.

thanks guys u both been great help its put me on the right track now so my hat goes off to you
