001-0502: Questions about what could be wrong. | Pretendo Network | Page 1

I bolded the main points that I'm wondering about as well as the specifics about my specific situation.

I know that there's going to be fixes for this in the future, but I have a couple of general questions about this. For context, I have two devices. I first set up a PNID on my N3DS and it was working fine. I started to have issues connecting to the server after I set up a second PNID on my O3DS. I locally friended my own devices together so I could get more plant pals for Mii Plaza: Flower Town.

All I'm trying to do is add a couple of friend codes to my N3DS that I've received, but I've been unable to get connected to do this.

I don't know if there's problems with having two devices in the same household/network, or, more likely, problems with using the same email address for two different PNIDs (it doesn't seem to be an issue cause I can log in on PC with both of them, but who knows. I sure don't.)

I have tried using my phone as a hotspot and connecting through that, I have tried setting the IP address to "do not auto-obtain" and changing the IP address, neither has made a dent in this issue; I open up the friends menu and 20 seconds later I get 001-0502.

001-0502 is a general connection error that has been plaguing Pretendo for the past few months

#

Fixes will be released soon, but for now here is the main proven way to fix it https://wiki.erdbeerbaerlp.de/pretendo:101-0502

I've been trying that, but even though I can connect to the internet, and despite having changed my ip, it still drops the same error code. Do I have to have specifically one connection setting and only one connection setting for the fix to work?

what?

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 1:54 AM

#

the connection cards. you can have up to 3

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 1:54 AM

#

yeah use your normal wifi connection

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 1:55 AM

#

I'll give it a go. I'll delete all but the home network and then try switching between two ip addresses a couple times.

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 1:56 AM

#

your other connections dont matter

#

you dont need to touch them

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

well ive done it like 12 times, always get this.....

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

yeah thats good right

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

and then get this anyway

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

what did you put the IP address as

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

idk if i should drop my ip address—

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

buoyant rune idk if i should drop my ip address—

its only the private network one. nobody can do anything with that if theyre not connected to your internet

#

it literally just shows the IP address of that device in that network

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 1:59 AM

#

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 1:59 AM

#

no i mean what did you set it to

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 1:59 AM

#

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 1:59 AM

#

right so what was your 3DS's original IP address

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 2:00 AM

#

well, I've been going back and forth between .128 and .170

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 2:00 AM

#

so .170 was what the console originally had

#

uhh try changing your MTU value to 1500

#

it might not be the overuse 0502 error it could be a different one that I think the IP fix doesnt effect

#

and then try 1500 mtu on both IPs

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 2:01 AM

#

alright, I'll do that

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 2:01 AM

#

otherwise theres not much you can do with this fix im afraid

#

the next best option is to use phone hotspot

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 2:01 AM

#

f e ck

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 2:02 AM

#

again fixes will be released soon

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 2:02 AM

#

okay, so it has nothing to do with the fact I made two accounts on the same email, that's at least reassuring

yeah no it doesnt

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

wait, holy crap the hotspot thing actually worked this time lets GO
IM FRIEND-ING EVERYONE QUICK

glass scaffold Jul 1, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

Yeah hotspot usually works

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

oh, I have to use data for hotspot to work. That's really weird...?

#

I just unplugged my wifi router for a bit and it worked. That’s what the Nintendo support page recommended me to do.

buoyant rune Jul 1, 2024, 2:23 AM

#

i'll give it a go, I'll just check if my housemate is stuck in some meeting rn first, lol

#

Okay, I have come to the conclusion that pretendo just reaaaallly hates the home network

#

(powercycling the router didn't work)

try entering the 3ds into the DMZ in your router settings. That's something else the support page said to try.

You said if you unplug the router and plug it back in the error 101-0502 will not be there. Does this step go with his method that he is using to fix the error code or are you saying just in general if you come upon the error code 101-0502 to just unplug the router and plug it back in and it will maybe fix it
