After nearly four whole days trying to get my Dreamcast online, I haven't felt more frustrated in quite some time. I thought I went through all that I had to do and all the pain of the circumstances and everything, I still have had no successful connection yet. I have tried every method known, but none have worked.
Right after thoroughly going through the DC-PC Windows XP guide (a second time), I thought I had everything set up, until I realized that Incoming Connections was not on even though I already set it up. I tried to set it up again, but all i get is a message saying "Routing and Remote Access could not be started" and so on. Any help on getting Routing and Remote Access started up? By now I would have given up, but I won't stop until I can get successfully get my Dreamcast online. Please help. Like... now. |

You are not going to want to hear this, but is there any chance you can use Windows 98? The process for setting the PC-DC server up in XP is much more complicated, as you have already found out.
I personally have no experience setting the server up with XP, so I'm afraid I can't help you there. I know you are probably at the point where you want to throw the thing out the window, but you should start from square one with Windows 98. |

I Agree with Mytho 100% on this one.
You really should just start over with either windows 98, or Me. The success with these two are almost guaranteed, while windows xp / 2000 is almost impossible to get working. I followed the guide here at OC - Using windows Me, and I had no problems - worked on the first try. |

There is actually a guide to get it to work on XP. Right here: http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1956
It seems to be a lot harder to do than older versions though. |

You can run windows 98 within XP using Microsoft's Virtual PC. It can be downloaded free and I've used it with success. You just need to get a copy of the windows 98 setup cd, either disc image or physical copy. | |||

I had that same problem with my attempt at it, I assumed it was just me but I guess not. I couldn't think of a way to fix it either, I tried uninstalling winroute and everything, but I had no success. I attempted it on Windows 98 and it works like charm, sort of. |
