I compiled some pictures that show DynaStab connecting to my DS via the internet 3000 miles away on the east coast. Thank you DynaStab for the pictures and testing the DS as a server!

You may think after seeing the “127.0.0.1″ that this is a hoax. The reason DynaStability needed to connect to localhost is due to the strict firewall that I am behind and cannot change settings on. We accomplished the connection via a SSH tunneling procedure. If I was not behind such a firewall, DynaStab or anyone else could have easily connected by typing the DS’ IP in the netcat command prompt.

 This is a small snapshot of a dmesg output to show that what machine type the server is. As you can see, it is a Nintendo DS:

 This is the full dmesg output given from the Nintendo DS:

 This is a snapshot showing that a PC or DS user can connect via telnet or netcat session to play a text based adventure:

This is a blog that shows how to make the Nintendo DS a standalone webserver that can serve html, text-based adventure games, and a lot more. Sound has even been streamed from DS to DS (it did sound weird since there was no buffering though) Pictures are included. Other uses of netcat can be used for port scanning and remote shell logins. This has been tested via DS to DS and DS to PC and PC to DS across the United States via the internet.
