   I know that those stand for each subsidiary of the corporation, but what we do not know (for sure) is the function of the site

   I googled for info and found a random blog that I hope helps a bit. Atleast it shows the Leon is wrong.

   ——————————————-
   The error 52230 seems to be a result of the Wii sending a TCP SYN request to conntest.nintendowifi.net on port 80 (the usualy port for HTTP), but not getting a response SYN-ACK response back. This is a typical symptom of a failed internet connection. Such an error is probably not due to a firewall rule, but can be caused by other kinds of router security such as restrictions on access to only registered computers.

   When it connects it looks for conntest.nintendowifi.net (connection testing) and gets a simple test HTTP page. A bit later is asks for wiinat.available.gs.nintendowifi.net, which it contacts using UDP — this may only happen if the above fails. After that, it asks for wiinat.natreg1.gs.nintendowifi.net (as well as natreg2 and netreg3).

   Later it does a bunch of UDP traffic to 207.28.11.12-13, which I
   think it looked up from the previous UDP traffic.
