You have a Linksys Router:
Address is 192.168.1.1

You have to go to Applications and Gaming, give whatever you want to open up a name (for example xbox) and then list the ports you want open (choose both UDP and TCP) and then you must put in the IP address of your computer you want them opened to. I hope that makes sense.

Yeah I totally confused people. XD I am trying to get my security setting low enough so a DS can get through.

www.portforward.com might answer some questions. Also, when you put in the 192xxxxxx address in your address window and it asks for your screen name and pw, as long as you didn't change anything at any point, your name can be left blank and the default pw is "admin".

As far as your DS, I don't know how they are configured but like any other console it probably asks for your router WPA or WEP code somewhere. Copy that code down once you get to your router admin screen. The portforward site should be able to help you with this.

What he said. ^ I'm assuming this is your router since it's pretty popular...
