but you only have to do the other steps ONCE.

PART 2-
Connecting with your Wii:
You must do this every time you want to connect on your Wii.

1. Make sure your computer is on and LogMeIn is in your system tray.
2. Go to the Internet Channel Trial Version.
3. Go to the “type a web address” screen.
4. Type: logmein.com
* Save this site as a favorite for fast access.
5. Log in.
6. Go to My Computers.
7. Click on your computer name.
8. Let it connect to it. Be patient, this may take a little while.
9. Type in your access code.
10. Wait…
11. Click GO on Remote Control.
12. It might say that you are connecting with the same computer to this computer and it’ll show a picture that won’t happen on your Wii. Click
Connect Anyway.
This might be because your Wii connects through your router(or USB Connector) to access the Internet, and your computer has the same IP.
13. It’ll load your computer screen!!!!!!!!!

Click on something with A. Double-Clicking WORKS!!! You’ll notice the page will refresh when clicking. The Wii can only get one state of your computer at a time, so you will need to click the refresh icon to see something happening or what you are typing. Luckily, you don’t have to click that SMALL refresh button, you can click anywhere to refresh.
