Error Code 52102

[EchoingMirrors]

I tested out GTS emulation for the first time yesterday by sending to my DS the VGC10 Eevee on pkmdb. This was using HyperGTS version... I'm not sure, but it was last modified May 19th, 2010, and the filesize is 799,744 bytes if that at all helps. That seemed to go fine, as my Pearl version now has a shiny Eevee carrying a Focus Sash on it.

However, I noted that I could not send anything to my computer for SID checking. The program log looked like it was initiallizing something, but the connection seemed to time out? I'm afraid I didn't save those logs.

So I decide to try and send myself another Pokemon, this one the Movie11 Shaymin also from pkmdb. I should note that I'd exited the GTS to check on the Eevee in the PC to make sure it didn't brick my game or something.

However, this time I am completely unable to connect at all, despite repeated attempts. My Wifi bar will be at full green for several seconds, then turn red and give me the error code message 52102, see nintendo for assistance, etc, etc. It's always that error, and despite trying a few different things (running ShinyGTS, using sendpkm.py, turning off my firewall), I can't ever seem to connect. The GTS and DNS always seem initialize fine in the apps, but I just can't connect.

This is sort of a different tangent as well, but related: now whenever I put in specific DNSes such as the one for Pokecheck, no matter whether or not I put it in primary, secondary, or both, I always connect to Nintendo's GTS instead.

Please help?

1) I have this problem ALL the time. When your computer is booting up, try putting it into Safe Mode with Networking and see what happens. For me, this gives me a 100% success rate. If so, that means your Firewall or Security program is the cause. If not...

2) However, from what I understand, a normal connection with nintendo wifi needs to be possible in order to this to work - for me, I am CONSTANTLY having WFC troubles, which of course, is a part of the problem.

Thank you! Whatever the issue was (I can't completely rule out the second one, since in 4th gen I can connect to NWFC fine most of the time barring a few isolated incidents, but in 5th gen Wifi hates my connection), booting it up into safe mode did the trick! A few hiccups- ShinyGTS still failed for some reason, and once HyperGTS returned me error 52202, which apparently is a firewall issue, but ultimately it worked like a charm without too much coaxing needed.
