Dreamcast Secrets

Here are a selection of secrets Sega just dont want you to know...or find out! But we here at Dreamania have got them ALL here for you, ready and waiting to be read by all you lucky Dreamcasters out there!

Its possible to use your own ISP with your UK and european Dreamcast. Here are the details...

What you will need are:
A Copy of Planetweb 2.0 or above (the American Dreamcast internet browser)

Primary and secondary DNS addresses from your ISP

Your username and password from your ISP

And finally you will need a PC to find out all this information (or you can ring the up and seek this information but im not sure weather they will be able to divulge the information).

OK, first when you have all the requirements put the Planetweb disc into your DC and start it up. When it has loaded up choose 'Use own ISP' and enter all of the details there (DNS numbers ect). Now to test it up select connect to the internet. if it successfully conects then success! If it does not Contact me and i will help you out.

Good points:
Can offer faster internet access and faster online gaming

Bad points:
After completely changing the ISP details on your Dreamcast you will no longer bable to access Dreamarena or play certain UK games online (eg Quake 3) as the try to access Dreamarena when they dial up and Dreamarena and its servers are exclusive and only accessable with the Dreamarena dial up number. Games that WILL work online with the new setting that ive seen so far are PSO and ChuChu Rocket. DreamKey 2.5 will also have the option to 'use own ISP' but im not quite sure weather you'll be able to access Dreamarena with the new ISP on DreamKey 2.5
