For the life of me, I can't get connected to PSO. I've got my BBA connected to my laptop, a 867mhz PowerBook G4 running system 10.3.9. I've got internet sharing turned on and I'm running dial-up (All2Easy and Juno both, although I intend to get rid of Juno and it's darn hourly timeouts unless it works). I've tried every configuration I could think of, both on my computer and on PSO, without any luck.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing is that I've made the connection previously, maybe about a year ago, and played PSO using my computer's dial-up - could my ISP be the problem? It's not the same one I had then. I suppose it's also possible that I'm using 10.3.9 now - I believe I had 10.2.x at the time. I've got both Episodes 1 & 2 and Plus, but I haven't had luck with either.
I'm terribly sorry if this has been covered. I've been searching for hours, wading through FAQs, boards and Google, so it's likely I'm just getting tired and overlooking the obvious. I do appreciate any help! ^-^
Edit, 11 JUL 2008: I didn't want to bump a super-old topic, but just on the odd chance someone does a search on this subject, I thought I'd mention the results: system 10.3 and up changes some things and apparently doesn't allow you to trick your BBA into thinking it's got a broadband connection by sending your dial-up through a computer then over an ethernet cable. Bummer. :/
