Hello..if you can't already tell, I need help now!!! I've been on PSO for a while, but in between my Hunters license expiration we've switched to DSL....I got my BBA, and I paid for my Hunters License via PSO explorer, as I have been since I started on GCN....now I can connect...as far as the screen that tells about "Minhiro" and your Hunters License expiration....but when I press A nothing happens...and the ship select doesn't show up....eventually the connection times out from no action....Anybody have any way to help?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Once I get back online I'll gladly play!!
currently my main character "Ebb" is at lvl 67, but I'm a slow leveler lol...I need the lvls badly!!!

hmmmmm. Very confusing. I guess if it's showing the Minhiro screen, it's connected. Unless the Minhiro screen is stored on the PSO disc, in which case it might not be connecting at all to a server, and displaying the message anyway.... I guess it's connecting though. Have you tried connecting to the homepage from the Main Menu?
Maybe you've got a time out set up on your BBA. Try looking in the network options.
How have you set your GC up? Through a router/switch/hub, ICS, direct connection?

It could be a problem. It's strange that's its connecting. So I'm going to state the obvious, but it's probably at your end. If others can connect.
It might not like how a GC connects to your ISP (not enough protocols are adhered too), I really don't know. It therefore rejects your connection...
Sorry
d-dude.... never been called that :p
decs is fine
. Not dex though >_<.

alright thats cool...I figured that too.....thanks "decs" lol....I have a good idea but all I need to find is someone willing to let me borrow their MSN username and password...then I can get some access numbers from the area I live in.....but not too many people would be willing to do that lol n.n;
This really stinks....thanks for the help...people please feel free to post if you have any way to help!!!

alright this is really bad....Sega says my ISP is supposed to Work, nintendo can't help me much lol....and my ISP sorta closes it's welcoming gates when I tell them "I need the info for a video game" All of my info is correct, the ID, the Password, the DNS addresses....I just can't think of anything that might help...I even reset my DSL modem a couple of times lol!!!
Man this is confusing...I need to get on soon!!! PSO is my second life, and it's a life I enjoy living even more than my real one lol...so many friends!!!
HELP!!! PLEASE!! THANK YOU lol!!!

If everything right and it's connecting as you say, I have no idea... is it a new game? Pre-owned? Try looking for some sort of time out in game. And try connecting it to a PC via a network card or by a router. Something that stops the GC connecting directly to the modem.

Ebb what cable are you using to connect your gamcube with your DSL modem?

I'm not sure, how could I tell? It's an ethernet cable if thats what you mean....
PS: Decs, what do you mean look for a time out in game? and also, what do you want me to connect when you say....."And try connecting it to a PC via a network card or by a router. Something that stops the GC connecting directly to the modem." I don't understand what you mean..... I wanted to get a wireless router...but they are extremely expensive n.n; and I'm only 14...money like that doesn't come around too often....a reliable one seems to be at least $100 US...sorry I don't know what that equates to in Euros though.....
Thanks for all the help so far!!
