Connecting Online

Post by Animarc »

Hello! I'm trying to connect to this website on my Dreamcast via XDP, and I'm having trouble with manually entering my DNS, as the max character count is too low, and I can't input letters unless I use the keyboard. I'm trying to download the Sonic Adventure 2 DLC. Can anyone please help?

Are you connecting via BBA or dreampi? Dreampi doesn't require dns. Xdp has a on screen keyboard you can use with controller.

I’m trying to use Bba. I have a keyboard periferal, but when I try to use the on-screen keyboard, it doesn’t let me input letters, which DNS has these days.

You only need to enter our private dns not your isps. So youll put 46.101.91.123 there and dns2 is 1.1.1.1

Thank you! That worked for getting me connected, kind of. I can’t get it to let me go to google or anything else. When I try to hit the hot link, it sends me to a Netgear log in, but my internet service provider is Verizon. Any ideas what I can do to get around that?

Okay, actually I figured out the problem, but now I can’t get to Dreampipe or Dreamcastlive. Can you help?
