The infinite Wii loop

Some time ago I got myself a Nintendo Wii and, given my new wireless capabilities at home, went to configure the internet settings. Unfortunately I have to go through a proxy server in order to connect to anything, but normally it's not a problem, at least to begin with.

So I went through the settings on the Wii but was never given the choice to connect via a proxy, so of course I couldn't get online. I looked through the intertubes to see what the deal was and it seemed that the Wii does give the user the option to connect via a proxy. Upon further investigation I saw that this option doesn't appear unless you have Wii update X.X.

In order to get this update I had to connect my Wii to the internet and download it.
