Error 102?

[Zach Moonlight]

Hey k8lin, I've *just* got it sorted properly. Have a check through the link decswxaqz left you, but here's what I did:

Go to Start -> Run -> type in cmd and click ok
For Windows XP, you need to type in ipconfig/all, then press return.
You should see the two results for your DNS servers. Leave this open.

Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
Open up 'Network Setup Wizard'.
Click next twice.
Where it says 'Connections:', choose the one you need for the Local Area Connection.
You should then get options talking about your PC. One should say something like, "This computer connects directly to the internet. The other computers on my network connect to the Internet through this computer."
Select that one.
It'll then tell you to select your Internet Connection. Your broadband modem should be the one you choose.
It'll then say 'select your private connection'. Again choose the Local Area Connection one.
You then need to give your computer a description and name. You might want to phone up Blueyonder and ask them if they require a certain name, if the one you choose doesn't work.
For workgroup name, try something like "PSO" or the game console.
It doesn't really matter about the file and printer sharing, but I chose to allow it.

Now go to the cmd thingy again. Type in ipconfig/all again, and you should see that *routing* is now *enabled*.

Now go to Control Panel -> Network Settings. Enable the Local Area Connection.

Go to the Gamecube's settings and make everything automatic, save for the DNS server information. Type that in. Don't bother with a hostname. Don't fill in any proxy details. Not the address OR the port number.

Save your changes.

It should work now! ...At least that's what I did, and it worked for me. That was literally like 100 hours' work! =p Hope this can help you, and others like us.

Ok somebody needs to walk me through this........step by step...

I went to Start -> Run -> Cmd

Message Pops Up: Cannot find file "cmd" or one of its components etc...

Help...Im running Windows 98 and Im getting error 102.
Im using a BBA and Im trying to find my DNS Servers since the "Automatic Settings" didn't work for me.

I just want my Primary and Secondary DNS Servers...IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR PSO GODS?!

[decswxaqz]

Start->Run-> winipcfg
Click the little "..." button next to DNS Servers for the Secondary DNS server.

I was trying to remember that ren code. That's the line that takes you into the little window and allows you to switch your IP adresses right Decs?

[Rabid]

Start->Run-> winipcfg
Click the little "..." button next to DNS Servers for the Secondary DNS server.

So I entered those and its still not connecting......

Its still error 102......

[Teh EkwEE]

Okay do you have two IP adresses? If so change to the second one on the list, then go to your modem and pull out the power cord, Be warned you won't be able to get on the internet until you switch back to the original IP, After pulling out the cord take out the USB Cable, and put in your ethernet cable, wait around 10 seconds to be safe, then put the power cord back into the modem at this point in time you should be able to(If you have all of your information right[I had to have one of the tech guys from my IP company walk me through the setup process]) play online now.

I got so far, and still it denies me GOD DAMMIT its so annoying, i hate my router

[K8lin]

sry for double post, but the setup worked, and my router was enabled, and carried it on blah blah blah, and the DHCP wont connect with the GC, and when i restarted my pc, the router disabled itself..

Im really confused and getting very tired and sick of trying things...GOD DAMN YOU ROUTER

You can try this guide, it's for xbox but its the same config for any router connection:

to be honest as long as youre using rj45 'straight through' cable and have everything plugged in the right slots there shouldnt be anything major going wrong. Esnure your routers are set to dhcp mode so they can assign ips to each of its clients, this way you can just leave the gamecube setting on 'auto'. Let us know if this helps.
