Help with Ds Fire Card

Im not sure if this is allowed but dont know what else to do. I purchase a fire card and hooked it up to my pc, guess im stupid because i assumed (keyword assumed) that it would run automatically,. The card worked but doesnt seem to connect to pc. Do i have to do something to it to get it to work?? TIA kathy

Oh right, you need to connect the Fire Link to your PC with it still inserted into your DS and then you turn on your DS.
