It sounds like a port forwarding issue. Make sure you set up either DMZ or port forwarding as described at the bottom of the DC Live Connection Guide.

So I was able to try this out last night and for some reason my computer wouldn't let me go to my router's configuration page. I think because I might have something on my computer blocking that website because it thinks its bad or something else but I couldn't go to it. I also put my DNS on PlanetWeb 2 to 46.101.91.123 just to make sure to be sure like that could maybe help it but it gave me the same proplem. So it looks like I would need to use port forwarding instead, how do I do that now? :)

Either way you'll have to be able to get to your router's configuration page. :(

Hmm? I'll have to try this out again, probably play with my settings. At least I can still play the other games ok :)

Hey guys so to show more what I mean is this is the screen I get now but there was another screen I go to before. This screen ask for the username and password and that should sound easy to do but I can't get it to work. How would I find the username and password for this if I can find them out. I already tried 2 usernames and passwords that I thought would work but no luck

What's the model of the router? I'm guessing it's an Xfinity modem/router combo judging by the "FINITY" I see in the picture. Try "admin" for the username and "password" for the password.

No no! Don't change that! :lol: That's the public IP address for your internet. That should be left on Dynamic. Just find a DMZ option somewhere in the settings and enter the Dreamcast's IP (should be 192.168.1.98).
