I strongly recommend isntalling a dedicated NIC for the Gamecube into the PC you intend to stream from. If you attempt to run it on the same subnet as your router it could disrupt the rest of your network during streaming.

 

Thanks IceMonkey but the thing is the space where my other PCI slot has a usb card (its not plugged into the pci slot obviously it just takes up the back slot and is plugged into the motherboard) I have 2 usb plugs in the front. Well anyway does anyone know where I can pick up a copy of PSO? I can't find it anywhere except eBay.

 

You wont find pso for sale new in any retial outlets because its been dicontinued. so the only way you can findit is second hand. so check the second hand part of all your fave video games stores, then if no luck youll have to buy off the web.. either ebay / buy rite games or lik sang. if you are interested in any of those online stores just copy and paste it into google...

 

For those of you trying to stream with a home Internet router, you can configure the router to use addresses in the 192.168.1.x range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If you use the router to auto-configure attached PC's just make sure that it is giving out addresses in that range witht he exclusion of the 192.168.1.32 and 192.168.1.100 addresses. They should be manually configured for the Gamecube and streaming PC respectively. All devices should be attached to the router using patch cables.

 

Soooo I guess nobody can help me still?

There is no guarantee that you will be able to browse the Internet and stream at the same time. Some have gotten it to work although others can't for one reason or another. It would be helpful to know if you're using an Internet router of any kind. As far as the network conenctions go, they both need to be enabled. They also need to use addresses that are on different logical networks. The one connected to the Gamecube on the PC is using 192.168.1.100/24 so the other NIC should use something in the 192.168.0.0/24 network or something like that. Just note that it also needs to be in the same network as the addresses used by the router if applicable. If your router auto-configures connected PC's make sure it's not giving out addresses in the 192.168.1.0/24 range. You should not have Internet Connection Sharing enabled on either adapter. The segment you have the Gamecube connected to does not need Internet access which is what ICS would be used for.

 

Icemonkey say I have the setup so my GC is on another NIC card and I have my router plugged into the other. How should I configure the NIC card with the GC on it and should I do anything to my router settings if I have the second NIC card just for GC?
And how do I configure my router to do that just for the GC? Please help!

Thanks.

 

The router shouldn't be able to tell that you have a second network adapter installed in your PC. Setup the NIC attached to the Gamecube as per the tutorial. The one going to the router should be using an IP address that is not in the same network as the Gamecube IP. To help better, what IP does the NIC to your router currently use?

the guide really helps, but for some reason i have tons o questions.

1.) Can i just unplug my ethernet cable from my modem, and hook it up to the gc?

2.) When the cables are connected, and PSO is on, is the computer supposed to show that there is an active connection?

3.) Do i need a router or something? cuz this is what im using:
-Gamecube
-Laptop
-Ethernet Cable
-Mario Party 4 (its in a .gcn)
-PSUL 1.1
-Paradox GC Disc Server
-BBA

4.) i have more questions. i just dont remeber them. heh ^_^"

thanx to whoever helps me

also, i kind of didnt want to read 15 pages of help so i kind-of just put all questions together

 

1) If the cable is running directly from your PC to your modem then it is likely a crossover cable and it will work if you disconnect it from the modem and run it to the Gamecube but ONLY if it is a crossover cable.

2) Your PC will only show a connection when you start an online game in Phantasy Star Online. This can be either an actual online game or starting up for streaming to/from the PC. Otherwise, your PC will not show the status as connected even when PSO is running.

3) If you use a crossover cable as described above ( 1) ), you do not need to use a router. Simply run the cable from the network adapter in your PC to the Gamecube.

 

ARGH CROSSOVER!!!... well.. my dad said my ethernet cable isnt a crossover cable, so umm that dont work. i was wonderin if u could explain usin the router. i have this router, i dont know if it will work tho. its a "EtherFast Cable/DSL Router" Model BEFRS41. would that work? and if it does, can i use my eithernet cables? cuz i dont have any crossover cables... thanx ice

 

You can connect the Gamecube and any PC's to the router using patch cables but you will have to make sure all of your PC's use 192.168.1.x addresses in order for everything to work. Note that during streaming other PC's connected to the router may have trouble browsing the Internet or each other if they share resources and also make sure that the address 192.168.1.32 isn't being used by another PC as how you have to statically assign it to the Gamecube.

 

"You can connect the Gamecube and any PC's to the router using patch cables but you will have to make sure all of your PC's use 192.168.1.x addresses in order for everything to work."

Umm... that shouldn't need to be true. The problem here is, if your router, and your home PCs are on 192.168.0.x (as opposed to 1.x), and your PC for streaming, and your Gamecube are on 1.x, each little mini-network should be able to talk amongst themselves (the 0.x talk to 0.x and 1.x talk to 1.x). Which means you should be able to stream just fine through the router, but if you want internet access through the same connection, that's the tricky part.

 

AHHH.. thank you very much every1. i got it to work. so ive been playin Mario Party 4. the only times it lags is before the mini-game starts, and loadin. otherwise, its perfect. thanx every1

 

Some routers are funny about handling multiple subnets on the same internal interface. I've heard some people say that they could do it and others have said that there were problem with the router not knowing how to route the packets to/from the additional subnet.

 

you always need a crossover cable if you are running a pc network card direct to the gamecube, ethernet doesnt cut it...
