Getting online with Wanadoo 1MB - Azekiel - 14-11-2005
well, i have nothing else that i can connect into my lan port, but its an on-board one, so it just connects directly to my motherboard, and hopefully thats working properly. my pc is about 2 years old, although sometime (hopefully) soon, im getting a new motherboard bundle..that'll be sometime between christmas and februrary.

voxie Wrote:I'm confused... should I be trying to connect with LAN or dial-up?I'm guessing you're posting through that very same PC you use Wanadoo Broadband for to connect to the internet, and again post this message! So no, there's nothing wrong with your internet connection, and you don't need to change anything there. If you can't get online through your Speedtouch 330 Modem then it maybe why, but i shouldn't have thought so.
When I hear 'dial-up' I always think that's a 56k modem being talked about >_<
My 1MB Wanadoo connection isn't 'always on', I do have to dial up first. Perhaps this is where I'm going wrong? Do I need to 'dial-up' at a certain point, so my GC can detect it's there? If so, when?
I'm using broadband, and my GC's BBA, so I presumed I'd have to try getting online via LAN.
Should I try conneting via Dial-up on my PC, is that even possible with my 1MB connection? lol
*head hurts* Yeah Lee-yoshi, I think we're all running out of ideas lol
Hi Azekiel
Let's just hope all this faffing about is worth it, eh?
Try the following (Really going out on one now, this method is really only good for PSOProxy to communicate between your PC and Gamecube).
> Go to your 'Start' Menu.
> Click 'Run'
> Type 'cmd', a DOS box appears on the screen and asks you for a command.
> Enter 'ipconfig' and hit the 'Enter/Return' key, your IP address, ISP Name, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway details appear on screen. Enter these into your 'SEGA Network Info' file on your Gamecube memory card. Now try dialling up and see what happens/if there is any noticeable interaction between your Gamecube and PC.
Azkiel, so basically you have nothing underneath the 'LAN or High-Speed Internet' option in 'My Network Places'? :S That's quite wierd if the computer has a LAN port on it... I'm not that great to tell you how that might be fixed. You say you don't have anything you can plug into it, but obviously you're trying to connect your Gamecube up to it, so what happens when you connect your Gamecube Broadband Adapter and PC up together via. a LAN port and try connecting to the internet through your Gamecube (PSO)?

i have the 'wireless broadband connection' and '1394 connection' under LAN or high-speed internet.
and when i connect my GC BBA to my PC there isnt any noticable connection estabished, no indication that my PC even realises the GC is there..bah...

I'd recommend trying pratically everything i've suggested with the 'Wireless Broadband Connection' then upto this point, and if nothing, then maybe try the 1394, but i've never seen why thats there or what is does :S

ok here is what I do I just directly connect my gamecube to my router and just work with it that way and you might want to set it to dial up.

ok, thanks a lot lee-yoshi, you've been very helpful
and masterofchaos, if i could hook it up to my router directly, i wouldnt be trying to route it through my PC would i?

Actually, I have been reading, just not posting lol!
I'm not online yet. I haven't had time to fiddle with everything yet, and I've kinda lost where I was having a problem in the first place now! lmao! So I have to start reading this thread from the beginning, and doing things over... This'll take me a while... :S

Okay, I've tried everything, even typing my IP details into my GC mem card, after typing 'ipconfig'... And I've come to the conclusion, that the problem is with my PC. No matter what happens, the LAN comes up as unplugged! It's never said it was connected.
I'm going to try some hardware detection and troubleshooting, see where that gets me...

Try another PCI slot? What NIC did you buy? or was there already another one there
