No more Wii Problems!

Hopefully.

It seems my hunch that it was a DHCP issue was correct. My firewall was happily letting DHCP requests work, but when the machines on the network tried to renew them the firewall blocked the packets. For whatever reason this had no effect on anything on the network except the Wii, which either hung or just plain crashed.

Well it turned out that I had to add “dhcp” to the interfaces in my firewall configuration software and that solved the problem. God knows why it didn’t just block DHCP completely…
