Well that's a major plus then if that can be ruled out. You have the 'drivers' for IMG BURN for cdi files by chance?

I know this is not a thread about trouble burning cd's tho. Wish I could offer a better insight on the issue with that error messege.

edit: You already used the video I just linked (first post)

Yes, I do believe I have them. I am starting to think the problem with connecting itself might be tied to the fact that I am using PlanetWeb 1.0.

Pretty sure you have to connect the pi to ethernet first. let it set itself up then go through the whole wifi set up.
Plus make sure youre using a strong enough power supply for the wifi dongle if thats what youre using. cant remember what that is off the top of my head... but mine wouldnt connect becuase i was using an old blackberry charger had to use my LGG4 quick charger.

When i see that error it makes me think its a problem with his LVI.

1. Are both modem lights on?
2. Does one of the modem lights turn off briefly when you dial?
3. Can you see your pi on your router?

The answer to these questions should all be yes.

The LVI was ordered from Dreamcast Live, so I really hope it is not the problem. Could it perhaps to be my 56k modem? I got this one here:

Either way, it seems I am connecting, the DreamPi DOES Show me an IP address like the video shows. Thanks for the reply Xiden, I will try to answer those questions when I get home.

Yeah, that modem looks like this one which is a winmodem/softmodem and not compatible with Linux. The generic modems are always a crapshoot because 90% of the time, the description (especially on eBay) wrongly states that it's compatible with Linux. Heck, you don't even get the same modem that's pictured sometimes. I recommend this modem as it's the cheapest one on eBay and I've personally used them with DreamPi.

You can confirm that the modem is incompatible by looking at the lights when DreamPi is fully booted. If you only have one light on the modem, then it's incompatible.

Damn it, I was really hoping that was the case. Thanks pcwzrd13, I bought your LVI and now I am going to buy your modem suggestion! Will get back with updates.

Hi guys,

So I got the modem...and it connects! However, I get this now :( :

Anyone know what the problem can be? I'm thinking it is a result of using PlanetWeb 1.0 and missing that one field... Thanks.
