Can't connect.

I changed to Road Runer(Cable Service) and my settings don't work. I've done every possible thing with the settings that worked before. Is there something different I should do with cable services?

what do you have your network options set to for PSO? Is everything set to automatic?

[Lord-Fatass]

No, that doesn't work. Neither does manual settings.

[VioletSkye]

Can you access the webpage via PSO?

[Lord-Fatass]

Doesn't that qualify as "connecting"?

Not always, if you can conect to the homepage, it doesnt always mean you can conect to the game servers.
slect homepage, then try and connect, you will get an arrow symbol in the bottom right of the screen, if this then leads on to the main page your halfway there.
If you can get through on the homepage but not the main game it could mean that:
your memory card may not be working right, is it an official card?
you might have to register your MAC address with your ISP.

Another problem you might be having is if your unplugging one device then plugging in your gamecube, you may need to reset ( unplug then plug back in) the router or modem in order for it to see the gamecubes BBA.

[Lord-Fatass]

Uh, no. That's why I asked.
