I think I know what the problem is…

See, there are 2 “main” types of wifi, one known as WEP, and the other as WPA.All Gen 4 Pokemon games are ONLY compatible with WEP, unless you buy accessories to make work with WPA. So even though your 3DS may get access to the internet with WPA wifi, your SoulSilver, along with a lot of the pre-DSi games (including the DS & DS Lite), will only allow access to wifi with WEP or an accessory such as a NWFC USB. So really, its either…

Okay, here you go:

Error Code: 51099

Most Likely Cause: ‘It appears that the settings entered into the Nintendo DS are not compatible, or the router’s broadcast settings should be changed.’

How to fix: ‘Try creating a new connection with your system.’

If you need more help, go on to ‘Google’ and type up Nintendo Error Code 51099.It should help.

Okay, nevermind. I found an old answer relating to this:

the question: my sister’s heart gold game won’t connect to wifi but my black game will why is this?

the answer was…

Heartgold and Soul Silver you still need the Nintendo WFC USB. you have to purchase it. Black and white you can just do it overinternet.
