Hello, to play online you will either need a proper dial up account (not sure which ones work, someone else will be able to tell you), a BBA (BroadBand Adaptor), or the 'Netopia method', which i know very little about.

Take a look at this article I recently wrote:

It tells you everything you need to know about getting your Dreamcast online and provides links to the various tutorials.
