These errors generally indicate a rewall on your PC or router is preventing the Wii from connecting to the 
internet. Try the following:
•  Disable your firewall.  If you are using a Netgear router, disable the "SPI Firewall" under the "WAN Setup" of
  your router.
•  Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) prevent systems from connecting.  Check with your  ISP to see if they are

These errors generally indicate the inability to get a good connection due to wireless interference.  Try the 
following:
•  Check the location of your router.  Move your router away from walls and off the floor and try to place it in a
  central location in your home.  Also, keep it away from metal objects such as metal filing cabinets which can
  cause interference.
•  Do not use other wireless or cordless devices when trying to get online with your Wii. Also, avoid electronics
  that use the 2.4GHz frequency, instead look for devices that use the 5.8GHz or 900MHz frequencies.
•  Change the channel on your router.  By default most routers broadcast on channel 6.  Change the channel
  setting to 1 or 11, as they do not overlap with other channels.
•  If you have security on your router, verify that the WEP or WPA key that was entered into your Wii matches the
  routers information exactly.
•  Change the mode on the router to "mixed" or "b/g" mode.  This is generally found in the "Wireless" section of
  your routers settings.
