Nintendo DS Internet browser

We sometimes go to the public libraries in Denmark, and they've got to have open WiFi connection.
Today, I tried to check Internet connection via Nintendo DS Internet browser.

First off, WiFi setup on DS should be done.
So I tried automatic connection setup button and it detected WiFi access within 5 seconds.
However, unfortunately auto allocation for IP address failed
as the secondary step.

So, I tried to get network setup info with note PC that I had in case.
The following image shows dialog that I referred to know network connection detail.
(IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers)















Right after I put these info on network setting mode in Nintendo DS, I confirmed Nintendo DS could connect to the Internet.

Now, I don't have to take my note PC to find some info while I am out. It's cool.

By the way, to change default search engine from yahoo to Google on Nintendo DS browser, you should put the string like "http://www.google.com/search?q=%s".
"%s" is a placeholder for keyword for search.
