I see, so in that case it shouldn't really matter that it's using the .98 ip.
I'll give that a look at, what's weird is that its an issue that suddenly appeared though, it was working perfectly a few months back, and I've changed nothing since so it's bizarre.

Re: Problem using static IP address
He's referring to the Pi, not the Dreamcast. The Pi shouldn't have the .98 IP.SEGA RPG FAN wrote:It wants to use .98 by design. It's so you have a predictable IP address to port forward to.
Yeah that's strange. I just tested this with my own router, starting the DHCP range at .99 and after restarting my Pi, the IP changed from .5 to .101. So it should work.Orange Heart wrote: Edit: So at this point I feel like it's a router issue, while I set the DHCP range, and I restarted everything on the network, the dreampi still defaults back to the .98 ip regardless, even though its not within the range
You can try using this command on the Pi to renew the IP: sudo dhclient -v -r eth0 or sudo dhclient -v -r wlan0 if you're using Wi-Fi.
