I have some questions on how to get online, and yes, I have read the guide several times.

Okey, shoot.

I have this:

*Dreamcasts (Pal and NTSC-J)
*BBA
* PSO PAL_60 SCHTHACK version, PSO-PAL v2, PSO-US v2
*Planet Web Browser 3.0

Do I need Static IP on PC and connect it with a router togheter with the Dreamcast, when I use the SCHTHACK version of PSO?

I have used the Planet Browser to config the BBA, everything stands on zero, but DNS1, that stands on: 67.163.183.83

Is it wrong?

I use,

Username: E4367CA4
Pasword: 5YWXZG3D

because, Username: 1FB659BB Password: NsMToQw2

doesen´t work for me.

It depends on what server you are trying to connect to. Dc-talk or schthack? It also matters what version of pso you use to connect with. What guide did you read?

You configuration seems to be confused. When you use the schthack ver. pso to connect you do not need to connect through a pc using dr.dns or dns serv. It should just auto connect. Put all your dns fields back to default which are probably 0.0.0.0 This will allow you to connect to schthack ships.

For dc-talk server ships: Putting the dns in alone will usually not work when using the official pal ver.2 You would need to connect your dc to a router that is also connected to a pc. Setup that pc to have a static IP. Put that PC local IP(static ip) into your dns 1 field. Then you need to run this program on your PC: http://dreamcast-talk.com/uploads/pso/dr.dns.rar Make sure to allow the program to connect if you are using a firewall. Connecting to the server should now work. But, a much eaier way would be to download and burn this version of pso that auto connects without changing anything or connecting to PC: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3D5ZQ45J

You do not need a password to connect to pso server. You only only need a pass if your Broadband ISP. But most don't need a pass to connect.

Also, US.ver2 will not connect to any servers anymore.
