Connecting BBA via PC

Yeah. My wireless network connection has to be disabled for me to access my router config pages for some reason, so that's probably why. If I ping in the command prompt, however, I get a response.

Oh. Yeah, you need your wifi connected for it to be able to access. Can you post your wifi connection info. That is connect to your wifi, then go command prompt and type "ipconfig" list the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask of your wireless connection

Oh. Yeah, you need your wifi connected for it to be able to access. Can you post your wifi connection info. That is connect to your wifi, then go command prompt and type "ipconfig" list the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask of your wireless connection

IP:192.168.0.109
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Did you change the settings on that connection? There shouldnt be any network traffic unless both the gateway and IP are 192.168.1.x or 192.168.0.x If the gateway is 192.168.1.1 then the wireless ip address for your pc should be 192.168.1.109

[Alec1382]

That's the one I've been changing all the way along. Regardless, when it came to bridging the connections, I'd just change the settings on the bridge, since I wasn't given the option to change the settings on the bridged connections.

Okay lets make this simple. Set both your ethernet and wireless connection both to automatic settings. Then after they both acquire ip addresses check ipconfig and list the settings for both then we can decide how to setup the router and dreamcast from there.

[Alec1382]

Ah! I see that before I said the wireless' IP was 192.168.0.109. I'm sorry, that was a typo. It was really 192.168.1.109.

Wireless:

IP:192.168.1.109
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Ethernet:

IP: 192.168.0.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

Okay next, make sure DHCP is disabled on your router because it seems as though your dlink router assigned your eth adapter an IP address. Also disable DNS relay on it. Next bridge the connections again and from your dlink router go to that system check page and ping "192.168.1.1"

I still can't access the router conifg pages while the connections are bridged, regardless of the IP settings of the bridge. Strangely, when I looked up "ipconfig" while the connections were bridged, I got this:

Network Bridge:

Connection-specific DNS suffix:
IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:

Nothing would be recorded under default gateway. Also, after I entered custom IP settings and clicked "OK", explorer would have a nasty habit of crashing then rebooting. Don't know what that's about. Doubt it's significant, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.

[brourke228]

Yeah the default IP i think is 192.168.0.1 for eth bridge but that ip is taken by your router atm. It also seems the ethernet adapter needs no gateway when its bridged. I guess just connect up dreamcast with ip address of 192.168.0.3, default gateway 192.168.0.2, and primary dns 192.168.0.2, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 . After connected with dreamcast see if you can browse the web. Also while its connected on your PC ping dreamcasts IP address of 192.168.0.3 to see if you get a response.
