Here's a post on another site containing information pertaining to your problem:

Most people seem to have been unaffected on here, but I've had a VERY frustrating few hours sorting this, so thought I'd put up the typical issues and suggested solutions.

NB - a lot of the searching I did was for the Linksys WRT54G, but these seem to be generic.

Router channel

Fixed for a lot of people by changing to 1 or 11.

Firewall

Try turning off - if this helps you can always used DMZ on your router.

Static IP

Seems to have helped a lot of people using static IP rather than DHCP.

DNS Servers

Setting these to static has sorted a lot of people out.

If you have a combi modem and router, go to start > run on your PC, type

cmd (enter)

to bring up your DOS command line. Type

ipconfig /all

to bring up your details, the DNS details are at the bottom here. Put those in your Wii, off you pootle.

NB - and it's a big one as this is where I fell down. IF YOU HAVE A SEPARATE MODEM AND ROUTER you will need to go to your router and use the DNS servers from there, they WILL differ from the ones on your router. Hence why I just wasted four hours of my life
