Re: [DCBG] Dreamcast online help needed!

The Sega/BT one (BT Click) is fine.. I use on for GC
PSO.

I take it your old modem doesn't work?

Are you sure you put the new one in correctly? Are
there any hairs or foreign material on any of the
connectors (I am talking about modem to DC).

Are you sure that the cable is fully connected in to
the back of the DC (it wil click) and that its fully
connected in to the phone socket?

The last thing I can think of is, have you set up your
DC correctly? I mean have you accidentally got it set
for a pulse phone line instead of tone (or whatever
the other option is)?

Just curious, where did you acquire your new modem
from?


Just so you know, i am on my DC right now and use
www.boltblue.com

Regards,
Andrew B

Hi all!

Ok, I recently received my replacement Dreamcast modem
and I decided
to test it out as I haven't been online with my
Dreamcast for a very
long time. For a test, I am using dial up, pay as you
go ISP's just
so I know that it will work. So far I have used two
ISP's. UKU.co.uk
and the Sega/BT one you get provided with Dreamkey
V.3.0. So far I
have no success whatsoever! The message I keep getting
is that there
is no connection with the phone line.

Now, I have been told by several sources that the
Dreamcast still
works online and that there should be no problems, so
why is it that
I can't connect with it? I have even tried changing my
phone leads!
Are the ISP's out of date? Are the talk of it working
true at all?

Any help will be appreciated! This is a PAL Dreamcast
by the way.
