You could just you a dial up connection. This site says http://vtisp.com/ works with dreamcast and is only $4.70 cents it should work even if you are europe and all dreamcast online game are meant to be played on dial up.

Thanks for the link, but either way i would need a uber large cable, theres no phone lines upstairs. And i know DC games are meant to be played on dial up, but that doesnt mean pso wont run better on broadband, all the opposite i would say lol. But above all, i already made the bba purchase.. And i would hurt me not to use it when it costed what it costed!

Have you tried bridging the connection between your BBA and your Internet. I pretty sure you tried this already but Im just tring to help.
Go to a list of your internet connections on your windows computer.
Connect your bba to your pc
Highlight your internet connection to your connected cable
When they are both highlighted right click it
Click on Bridge connection
wait for it to be done bridging it
Then you dream cast is connecting to the internet
Then when you configure your internet settings
Automatically get everything but if you have to get it manually you DNS Servers
You default gateway and anything else you need to manually connect.
You can go to to cammand prompt and type ipconig/all
and get the info. For you Ip adress 0.0.0.0 and any other zeros that I missed. That will activate the DHCP Servers.


Srry if it makes you sound like a retard it did to me but thats how I connected my ps2 to the computer and I just copied this of a website and filled in words. I am a noob here to and I just want to get one more person online.

Srry for the long post.

[Dr. Pariolo]

lol dont feel sorry for that!
yea ive tried bridging too, and no luck no matter what i do, it says cable is unplugged. Seriously, everything points out my bba is broken, but its not. Nevermind, i have already surrender. Im cable a 30 metres large cable ASAP and ill do it the old school way.

This is why I refuse to enter the wonderful world of "wifi"

belgian postal service is on strike... so cable's postal package is waiting on the frontier... =s but thanks for asking

[Dr. Pariolo]

lol funny. the day you ask, it arrives. Now, question: do i need to make it crossover or not? Its not a "premade" cable, i have to grip connectors and cut the cable. I couldnt find a 30 meters long cable so i had to buy it per meter lol. Remember, its gonna be BBA <----> Router. I got only two connectors so i must not screw up lmao. Ill be able to make the installation by the end of the week (need to make holes next to the door frames etc) but this week im working a lot unfortunately =(

[Dr. Pariolo]

Yes i did try setting that kind of dns. And no go =(

And thanks for the diagram mate. Will be helpful.

Finally. I got this shit to work!
But now i cant connect to the only server shown at the shipgate, Vega. Using very latest dc talk iso. First of all ship name appears in red, which doesnt look very nice. Plus, 0 players, but i expected that. Once i pressed A, the buttons at the bottom right just keep flipping for a min then the game tells me to go screw myself. Am i doing something wrong?

btw, maybe this will help noobs like me.. If you got a fresh dreamcast(flash memory reseted), configuring the bba straightaway wont work.. You HAVE TO have a dial up profile, even if the data is completely made up. Thats compulsory. Then, plug back your bba and configure it. I know, no sense, but thats the way it is.
