Hi,

I bought a BBA last week and I'm having trouble setting it up.

I'm using XDP and following the instructions from this video -

The only thing I'm doing differently is that I can't find a secondary DNS address, only a primary one, so I've left the 2nd field blank.

My BBA is connected into my DC (duh) and into my broadband home modem in port x2. Port 1x is connected to my wireless router.

Any ideas what could be the problem? Thanks!

Which game are you trying to play? Most people find that PSO works if you configure it with the Website option in USv2 and not with XDP. As for Quake, I have no idea what the best method is for that game. PSO also requires that you configure a fake dial-up ISP (with any non-BBA browser) before you can use the BBA.

Haven't even gotten as far as to play a game - just literally used XDP and was hoping to connect to google.com but it says cannot reach the host.

AM I setting it up correctly?
So far its: DC>BBA>Broadband Modem>Line into wall

I do know my secondary ip addy is 0.0.0.0, not blank, but this is not your problem. You might want to check your router to see if the DC shows up.

Have you figured this out? I'm pretty sure there are some very good YT videos on it.

I remember using XDP on mine and just assigning an IP and giving it the gateway of my router.

I think that was the jist of it. = )

I got it to work by connecting the BBA into my router, rather than my modem.

I can get online on the XDP browser and on the auto connect PSO disc but I'm struggling with Quake 3 and Toy Racer. Not sure how to bring up the master list in Q3...

Before logging on with the DC, you will want to go to the online server link/option at the top of DC-Talk webpage for the active server list and write down the IP addys & ports. Once you are connected and get to the "Master Server Not Found" message, you just have to select the option at the bottom right (the "More" button) and enter the IP addy and port. From there, select the bottom right button again (I believe it is the "Info" button) and if all is well, select "fight" at the bottom.

Looking forward to seeing you online.
