Need help hooking up my dreamcast to pc to share broadband
I found this document on the web that explains how you can turn your pc into a dialup server for dreamcast and share your broadband connection. You need winroute and a dial up server installed. The problem is the instructions are for windows 98.
I found this document on the web that explains how you can turn your pc into a dialup server for dreamcast and share your broadband connection. You need winroute and a dial up server installed. The problem is the instructions are for windows 98. I figure that whatever win98 can do win2k can do as well as far as networking goes. The only prob I have is I cannot get win2k to answer the "blind dial".. Meaning I cannot get the modem to answer without the signal or something. In win98 the guy explains how to do it in the registry...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to trick the Windows Dial-Up Server to pick up the line when the phone line is not ringing, you have to enter the standard modem Answer command into the registry. Open the Registry Editor and browse your way to:
"My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\0000\Monitor".
If you have more than one modem installed you might not want "0000". Browse to whatever one you're using for the Dial-Up Server. Now set setting "2" to "ATA<cr>", so that it looks like the picture below.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Win2k as you would have guessed lacks this registry key.
There is a link on how to do it with win2k server ... but it requires two phone lines two modems and I only have win2k proffesional it does not have the same ppp and routing features that win2k server does. Im sure the winroute method will work with win2k as soon as I figure out how to do this blind dial thing.
Any ideas? Heres the link to the page....

Well I found the registry key the one I was searching for I used an O instead of zero.. 0.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000
I added the ATA<cr> which is the modem answer command I have found.
However now when I enable the modem in my incoming connections properties it constantly ticks about every 2 seconds. Like its hanging up over and over again. Event viewer says "The communication device attached to port COM3 is not functioning." Dreamcast modem cant find pc modem . Found another post from a guy who had the same problem on google groups. Damn. I dont want to install win9x. I refuse. Oh well. Maybe Ill just install linux. ( after reading a few hundred docs on ip masquerading and ppp )
