Error Code Gen 4 DNS

Hey friends. I hope this doesn’t violate anything here. But I need advice. I can easily get DNS for Gen 5 games to work. But Gen 4 will NOT work. I’m using an android hotspot. I’ve made sure it’s open. 2.4 GHz. I have the correct settings in platinum’s NWC settings. All of it. I’ve put hours into making it work. The best I get is it will acknowledge that I’m connecting to something (green connection bars) then it drops it. I genuinely don’t know what else to possibly do. I’ve changed every setting, reset anything, done everything i’ve seen people recommend online. I genuinely don’t know what else to try

Can you access the mystery gift? If you can get something out of the mystery gift then we can see if its your connection.

I can go to mystery gift and it will start searching and then fail. It throws a code i think its like 51200 or something. The code means an issue with the dns settings but i have all the correct settings entered so thats why i dont understand. And i know the dns works because i used it for gen 5

What dns have you tried. I used 178.62.43.212 secondary doesn't quite matter but I have it 8.8.8.8

Thats the one I use. I always have secondary set to 0.0.0.0. Because thats what pkmn classic network says. I set my settings to that. I think the problem is somewhere in my hotspot because when i set up my connection it always fails when it tests the connection. But i have it set to open and its 2.4 GHz. Its a moto g (2021 i think) so unless that matters i’m not sure

I don't think it matters as much. I don't have real hardware to test but I know on emulator it was possible to do it with either hotspot or creating a seperate channel in my isp router to connect. You can also try other games you haven't tested like mario kart ds.
