Dialing into Quake 3 tells you it briefly

As mista said, during the dial up process of quake 3 arena. The very last step when it says "connected" you will also see your dreamcasts IP too.

I've found that the DreamPi will give your Dreamcast an address that ends in .98
So for example: If your internal network IP schema is a 192.168.1.x network, the IP will be:
192.168.1.98
I'm not sure if the DreamPi is able to handle multiple Dreamcast units dialing into it so i'm not sure if it does, will it also give the same IP address to both? This is entirely handled by the DreamPi and not your router/DHCP server.
