I can connect to Worldwide and Regional events with Mario Kart, but I can't connect to Friends. Nintendo says they are different types of connections so connecting to Worldwide and Regional events doesn't necessarily mean connecting to Friends should work since Friends are a direct connect between systems.

I've tried creating a NAT and forwarding all UDP traffic to the Wii, but that didn't make a difference.

When I connect, I get a Nintendo Error:  86420

"Works for Mii" :-)

Sometimes it takes several days to weeks to complete the pairing with some friends, but it does eventually recognize the friend's box. I believe this is a Nintendo issue, not a networking issue on my end.

I do have uPNP enabled on the router since I trust everyone inside (basically one winderz box, plus a handful of macs and one kubuntu aside from the wii.)

Wii and Pfsense didn't work for me out the box, I was getting same error code.

My WAN has 5 ips
My Wii is on LAN, with NAT to a bunch of home machines

To get it to work, I used a Virtual IP (CARP type) and a spare WAN IP, NAT 1:1 mapping directly to the IP of the Wii, and made a really crude rule
WAN - UDP - 1-65535 > Wii IP : VIP

-maybe I should review this... It was far more important to make the Wii work at the time!
I did first try a bunch of UDP port forwarding but that didn't work.
uPNP is off on my pfsense

Mii / Friend sharing has taken between 2 and 30 mins for the few people I have currently shared with.
