Having trouble getting online

Hey guys. Trying to connect my Dreamcast via Wi-Fi. Note, I have not tried connecting it to the net via Ethernet, although I do not know if that matters. I tried to set up my Wi-Fi on my Pi via this video here:

I got through all the steps, but I keep seeing this prompt on my Dreamcast. Does anyone know why that might be? I am using PlanetWeb 1.0, don't know if that matters either...thanks!

I dunno about connecting with wifi as I used a wired connection.. but in case you didnt see it..

on the DC Live Downloads section..

http://www.dreamcastlive.net/downloads.html

you can get the XDP browser.. in case it does moke a difference (im not sure)

also you will find a WIFI configuration wizard for dreamPi..

hope that helps or at least keeps ya busy for a while until someone comes along with more knowledge...

I had to use the XDP browser myself. I used this video and had no issues.

Thanks for the replies. The only problem I am not using XDP is because my CD burner only burns coasters apparently, even with Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs so I can only use authentic media atm.

even if you tried to burn a music cd or a data cd it coasters? or specifically when you burn DC games?

if only when you burn games i would first suspect your not burning with something that has the DC Drivers like the imgburn on DCLive..?

I am convinced it is my burner. Just a hunch.

i guess it could be.. but doesnt seem likely considering it burns other CDs normally.. but i am hardly an expert..
I just didnt want your thread to go unanswered since its not too busy today...

what is the slowest speed your burner works at? i burned my stuff at 10x.. my laptop doesnt go any slower than that...

Could also be the model of his Dreamcast though
