According to THIS SITE (http://dreamcast.onlineconsoles.com/phpBB2/guides_getonline.php#4)
these games are able to navigate the broadband adapter without first priming the VMU or Dreamcast with a browser disc.
# POD Speedzone - US/NTSC
# Quake 3 Arena - US/NTSC
# Unreal Tournament - US/NTSC
# SegaAM2 BBA Config Tool (Outtrigger/Propeller Arena)
I'm currently online in the Quake III Arena Game browsing MANY (to my total surprise) available matches.
most useful piece of info from the article I noticed:
"To have your Dreamcast automatically retrieve an IP on the local network, set the IP, Subnet, Gateway, and DNS entries to "0.0.0.0". This is the standard configuration for accessing a DHCP server, which will automatically assign your Dreamcast with the necessary information upon connecting."
When I used Quake's multiplayer game option to test this out, I just left the ISP provider info completely alone. Didn't even look at it.
I simply assumed since Quake 3 Arena supports DHCP and that I am behind a router, it would detect the settings. And it did.
Which is the whole point of DHCP.
I also have unreal somewhere I think, and will see if that works the same.
According to my previously stated source, (http://dreamcast.onlineconsoles.com/phpBB2/guides_getonline.php#4) this SHOULD save your modem and connection type "TO THE DREAMCASTS INTERNAL MEMORY"? not sure.
We'll see.
Hope this helps someone out.
I have no idea if this is old or common knowledge.
