It doesn´t works!

hi. The streaming doesn´t works. Phoenix says that there´s a problem finding gamecube, and it´s connected.
I have followed 3 guides in setting up. it´s all configured right but the Phoenix and either the Paradox Gc disk server.
I have a:
P4 2.0ghz
512mb ram
LAN onboard

GC
BBa
PSO ep 1 and 2
Phoenix and other toolz

Thanks

 

Did you set all of the TCP/IP settings on both ends correctly?

 

yep, i don´t know why it isn´t working, the TCP/IP settings are ok.

 

Are you using a direct crossover cable connection or a network hub/switch/router? Also, what version of Windows are you running?

 

i´m using a crossover cable (GC to PC directly). I´m running windows xp home edition SP1.

 

When you turn on the Gamecube and startup an online Phantasy Star game does Windows detect a network connection? Also, do you have that connection bridged to another one? That will cause a problem. Does the jack on the onboard NIC have any lights on it? Do they light up or blink? Does the onboard NIC otherwise work when connected to another computer or network device if you usually have it hooked up to one?

 

there´s no light on onboard NIC. Windows doesn´t detect the connection when gc it´s on. I can´t test if the onboard NIC works with another computer. I will try to find another LAN adapter, but this should work too. i´m not bridging any connection, i have dial up so i have another modem separately.

 

Also to verify proper TCP/IP configuration, open a Command Prompt on the PC and at the prompt type "ping 192.168.1.100" without the quotes. If you get replies, your PC is configured correctly. Then try "arp -a" and see if the IP address 192.168.1.32 is listed. If not, you don't have a physical connection. Either a faulty NIC or cable. Also check in your motherboard's BIOS to see if the onboard NIC is disabled. If it wasn't being used for anything prior it might be disabled.

 

nope. All works ok. I tested the cable with my other pc, it works. I bought another LAN card and neither.
The problem it´s the gc connection. Are you sure this works?.

Thanks

 

What results did you get when you tried what I posted above?

 

the TCP/IP settings are ok, i tested it with other computer ´cause if not connected the cable it says: "Unable to resolve host". The arp -a test returned me "ARP entries not found". I tested with gamecube on, starting an online game, and with others methods too.

I know that the cable and the LAN card works, cause i tested with another computer. The gamecube and the PSO works too, i played PSO. The only thing i don´t know if work, it´s the BBA, but it´s new, i never tested it but it´s new.

Thanks

 

The arp -a command not returning any entries indicates that connectivity is not ocurring between your PC and the Gamecube. Had connectivity been established, you should have seen a list with atleast two entries, one for 192.168.1.32 and 192.168.1.100. How about the "ping 192.168.1.100" command, what results did that return?

 

I said, the ping command worked well, when cable was connected with the other computer

 

But what response did you get when you ran that ping command after attempting to stream while still connected to the Gamecube?

 

When connected to gamecube, it says me, "unable to resolve host".

Thanks

 

That means that TCP/IP is incorrectly configured on your PC. Right-click "My Network Places" and select properties. From there, right-click the network adapter that is connected to your Gamecube and select properties again. There will be a box labeled "This connection uses the following items:". Double-click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and set all properties as per my tutorial. If configured correctly, running the command "ping 192.168.1.100" from the command prompt without the quotes should always get replies.

 

NOPE, it´s well configured, when i put the cable on other PC, the ping worked. The problem it´s connection between GC and PC. The ping only works when cable it´s well connected. I said, The TCP/IP settings ARE WELL, all the other things ARE WELL. the problem it´s the connection between the gc and the pc. I insist, I tested the TCP/IP settings with another PC and worked.

 

You cannot verify TCP/IP for proper configuation by connecting to another PC. The settings are specific to the Gamecube connection. Check what I said above and after you have done that run the ping 192.168.1.100 command. If it is not successful when connected to the Gamecube, your PC is still not configured correctly.

 

My PC its configured well, the problem it´s that i CANT ping the 192.168.1.100 cause windows doesn´t detect the connection when gamecube it´s on. THAT THE PROBLEM, when gamecube is on, it says "cable disconnected".

 

Dude you don't get it, Icemonkey said if you can't connect your PC to the GC then the PC is not configured correctly to hooked up to the GC. Think about it man, if the PC is configured correctly, then why is there no connection established between it and the GC? You are only assuming that the PC is correctly set up when it's not. Reconfigure your PC and follow Icemonkey's instructions again.
