I just updated the video tutorial. Simplified things, added newer information, and added a chapter on configuring DMZ.

Does anyone have one or more suggested linux-compatible modems that are still available in the USA, preferably tested for reliability maybe even like not some dodgy chinese quality? Modems like the Dell NW147 seem long gone, and that Longshine modem seems to be an EU only item/doesn't even come up from US searches.

Hello, new to the forums. Was looking to get a DreamPi setup for me and my buddy, but I had a question about the functionality of multiple Dreamcasts online in the same house. Is it possible to have two Dreamcast / DreamPi's configured under the same internet and router? Any router I've seen only allows you to set a DMZ to one local IP, but I was wondering if there is anything that the DMZ is doing that properly setup port forwarding or triggering couldn't do for one or two Dreamcasts?

I created a custom DreamPi image (compatible with Rapsberry Pi Zero W). Here's the link via my personal dropbox account.

EDIT: removed by request.

Once my original post gets approved, the instructions will be there.

EDIT: I've been asked to remove the link. If you'd like a copy, please find it elsewhere or wait for wait for the next update.
