DC Internet via P.C. Linux (by Darkmoon)

[jmetal88]

I found a better log file to watch, /etc/daemon.log:

I'm guessing that "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP" is my problem, but I can't find anything through Google that tells me how to fix it.

[jmetal88]

Got it!

Hadn't enabled IP forwarding.

This guide helped out a lot:

[jmetal88]

Well, I can browse the web, but PSO is sending this instead of my user name:

'}#@!}!}!} }4}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } }%}&}24ch]j~}#@!}!}"} }4}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } }%}&}24chW~}#@!}!}#} }4}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } }%}&}24ch^D~}#@!}!}$} }4}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } }%}&}24ch}2$~}#@!}!}%} }4}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } }%}&}24ch[7~}#@!}!}&} }4}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } }%}&}24ch'

I'm perplexed.

Yeah the inducer works, as far as the handshake goes.

As for actually doing anything, it fails miserably. Messages.log seems to be the file of interest, although I can't tell what's going wrong yet:

Connection dropped after a few, I take it you got that part lol

Alright, I got that fixed, now I need to figure out why the Dreamcast can't resolve any IP addresses... I'll try a few different options for DNS servers, I guess.

Have you checked the connection from your PC's side?

Well, I can browse the web, but PSO is sending this instead of my user name:

I'm perplexed.

Are you using Ives's quick boot Schtack disc or an original?

[jmetal88]

Are you using Ives's quick boot Schtack disc or an original?

Well the first two are sorted out already, so I'll just answer this one. I am using an original PSO. I have both version 1 and version 2, they both do the same thing. Sega GT also does this when I select the Internet link that's supposed to take me to the web site. So it seems to be the norm rather than the exception, and I have no idea, if those three don't work, why PlanetWeb 3 would dial up and let me browse the web without issue.

It's too complicated for me and i'm running ubuntu 7.10 on imac g3 and not sure if that will work. Is the broadband adapter worth the $150 ?
