Hey guys,
I've had my DreamPi for a couple months now, have been trying to figure this out by myself and by sorting through the forum since then but decided I'd post myself to see if someone can help.
The problem I'm having is I can connect to servers no problem -- but once joining a game I get kicked, cannot be seen, or disconnect within a few seconds. This, I assumed, is port forwarding or DMZ issue. So I set up Port Forwarding on my Modem along with the DMZ settings for my Dreamcast:
No luck.
I use a mesh network (Google WiFi) so I figured maybe I have to set my port forwarding rules up there as well. One problem. You cannot manually enter IP addresses for rules, so I have to select from a list. This usually shouldn't be a problem, but it's listing the DreamPi and Dreamcast as one IP address rather than them both having their own. How do I know this?
Well, sometimes, it will display my DreamPi's IP (third from the bottom, ending in 29):
And other times it will display my Dreamcast's IP (third from the bottom, ending in 98 which I know is correct from Quake III):
But it will always be named "DreamPi" and the rule will always change itself to the DreamPi's IP address (29) no matter what I enter the rule under. I assume this is because they're not showing as separate devices for whatever reason. Example below:
Is there a way for me to force the DreamPi and Dreamcast to be listed as seapate devices? Is that even my problem? Am I missing something simpler maybe? Been pulling out my hair trying to figure this out, any assistance or guidance would be appreciated!
