:P I don't have dial-up. You want me to explain you how to make a PC-DC Server on Windows XP?

Most "normal" people? What exactly is that supposed to mean? Some of us can't get broadband because of our location, no matter how badly we may want it.

First try the follow commands in your HyperTerminal or any terminal program:
ATH1
AT+FCLASS=8
AT+VSD=128,1
ATA

If you get ERROR after put any command, unfortunately, this metod will not work for you. Now, if all is right, before your Dreamcast can dial into your computer, you need to configure it with special ISP settings. I'll walk you through how to set it up using the PlanetWeb Browser.

First boot up the Dreamcast Web Browser (2.0 or 3.0). When you're at the title screen, press start to get the control panel, and select 'Options'. Then select Internet Connection.

You will be presented with a three-tabbed form. The first tab is called Basic Info, and should be configured as follows:

Your Real Name - Put whatever you want here, but don't leave it blank.
User Login - Put whatever you want here, and remember it for when you're setting up the PC.
Password - Put whatever you want here, and remember it for when you're setting up the PC.
Dial Up Number - You have to put in at least one digit here.
Backup Number - Leave this blank.
DNS1 & DNS2 - Put the IPs of your domain name servers here. If you don't know them you can get them from IPCONFIG. Go to the Start Menu, select Run, and type in winipcfg or (ipconfig) and hit enter. When the dialog box comes up you should see your first DNS IP address. If you have more than one you can cycle through them by hitting the ... button.

When you have this stuff filled in, click 'OK'. The next page, Dial Options, should be set up like this:

Leave everything blank up to 'Modem Init'.

Modem Init - Use the default "AT&F0" (last digit is a zero).
Dial - Tone
Dial area code - Off
Blind Dial - On
When done, click 'OK'.

The only thing that matters on the Proxy Setting page is to click 'No' where it says 'Use Proxy'. Then click 'OK'. When you're returned to the main options screen, hit the save button to write the settings to the Dreamcast flash ROM.

If we're going to get a Dreamcast Server running under Windows 2000/XP, the first thing we need to do is get Windows to do something it's not designed to do: answer the phone line without it actually ringing. It involves a little snooping around in the REGISTRY.

In order to get Windows to pick up the phone on demand, we have to hook into the commands sent to the modem when Windows enters it's listening (or monitoring) phase. So go ahead and open up the Registry Editor and see if you can find the Monitor key. Mine is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{bunch of numbers}\0000\Monitor. If you can't find it, get up to the Class key, and perform a search for Monitor from there. You may have more than one, depending on what hardware you have installed (multiple modems, etc.). It's up to you to figure out which one it is. Once you find it, change the first string (usually ATS0=0<cr>) to ATH1<cr>. Then change the second string (usually None) to AT+FCLASS=8<cr>. Add another string with the number 3 and this data AT+VSD=128,1 and another one (4) with the data ATA<cr>

We are going to convince Windows that those silence data characters is actually the phone ringing (which of course is not true), but first click up a couple folders to the Answer key. Before the modem can answer this "fake call", we'll have to take it out of voice mode and back to data mode, and put it back on hook. Do this by changing the first string in the Answer key (usually ATA<cr>) to ATH0<cr>. Now make a second sting if there's not one there already and set it to AT+FCLASS=0<cr>. Make another string (3) and set it to ATA<cr>

The last registry change requires a little more searching. We're looking for a list of modem responses so we can add our fake Ring response. If you're modem uses the Unimodem driver (most do) then you might be able to find it at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unimodem\DeviceSpecific\ModemName\Responses. If not search for something like "Responses" or "NO CARRIER". Once you find it you can add a binary value. Name it "<h10>s", and set it to 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (that's ten bytes, total).

You will have to reboot for these changes to take effect, and if you have to make any adjustments to the registry later on, you will have to reboot to see the changes.

One way to connect the Dreamcast to a Windows 2000/XP PC is through so-called Incoming Connections. You do not need a Server edition of Windows to do this; it can be done with either the Home or Professional editions just as well.

The first thing you need to do is start up the New Connection Wizard. This can be found in the Start Menu under Settings/Network Connections. At the first choice it gives you, select "Set up an advanced connection".

Next, choose "Accept incoming connections".

After you select incoming connections, a list of compatible devices should pop up. Make sure the modem you want to use is checked, and hit Next.

After that it will ask you if you want to accept Virtual Private Network connections. Just say no and continue to the next dialog, User Permissions. Here you will need to add an account for the Dreamcast, so click Add. Type in a user name and password for the account and click Ok. Then just make sure it's checked in the User Permissions dialog box, and click Next.

In the last dialog box, make sure TCP/IP is enabled, click on it and edit the properties Specify TCP/IP Addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2. Then hit Next, and then Finish. Now you have Windows setup to accept calls from your Dreamcast.

You need to run a program called WinRoute to enroute the Internet connection from your LAN to your Dreamcast (Google for it "WinRoute").

To configure WinRoute Lite is easy. Open up the Administration dialog box and go to the Settings tab. Make sure you have the proper adapter selected for your internet connection.

When you're done setting everything up, you're ready to establish a connection between the computer and your Dreamcast. The first thing you need to do here is hook your DC up to your computer's modem. This is really easy but some people manage to get confused here for some reason. Plug one end of the phone cord into the Dreamcast modem, and the other into your PC's modem.

Now create a new modem connection, and click on properties and click on Configure (Modem). Select View Terminal Window. Click Call. When the terminal window comes, in your Dreamcast press Connect and 1 second after click cancel on the console window. You'll hear the modem screech (if all is right).

If you're having problems connecting, and you suspect it may be a problem with the Dreamcast modem, you may be right. Some Dreamcasts were shipped with modems that rely on the voltage of a live phone line to work properly. There is a workaround for this, the so-called Line Voltage Simulator.

Component List
4 Cond. Surface Jack Dual-Surface Mount-U.L. (Dual Jack housing mount)
9V Battery Snap Connector
.47 MFD 100V Electrolyte Capacitor
390 Ohm Resistor
9V Battery

Directions:
Unscrew the left green wire and the left red wire.
Connect the left green wire to same terminal the right red wire is on.
Connect the left red wire to the terminal the left green wire was on.
Strip the wires slightly on the 9V battery snap connector (to be called power).
Connect the red power wire (positive) to the left red terminal.
Connect the .47MFD Capacitor to the left red wire terminal and the right green wire terminal.
Connect the 390 Ohm Resistor to the black power terminal and the other end to the right green terminal.

Is based in that site but as you can see the registry information isn't the same. That doesn't work for me.
