I start up by hooking up my cat5 cable turning on the gamecube and PSO and try to connect to my pc.on the pc side I'v did everything on there but the network card says unplugged and it never connects.do I need the internetto get this to work.I'v spent so much on all the stuff to get my gamecube to my pc and I'm jest lost.I would love to stream are rip my on game.can anyone please help.

 

You need crossover cable.

 

thanks I'm new to the streaming games.whats a good brand to use and is it close to the cat5 cable.

 

crossover cable is cat5 cable but wires this order:

I found the best this to do was to buy a second NIC ( like 20$ or so) and cross over it directly to the GC with a good crossover.

 

Why buy second NIC? you dont even know what NIC madden have, may be already good.

 

what is an NIC

 

i got it working just using the wrong cable.I went to redio shack and got a crossover cable plugged it in and soon as I did network connected! I was like a kid at christmas.man thanks to all that helped me out.the cat5 cable was not a crossover so thats why it did not work.now I get why they call it a crossover the wires are swithed around on the ends.man I'm so happy I can't beleive I did this and with help got it all working.thanks again.
and now for my next step trying to burn the game to dvd-r.I hope this is a little easyer.
hope this all helps someone else out like it did for me.

 

Nerver told him to buy one, I told him I HAVE one. I have Highspeed, So changinf my IP each time i want to connect to my GC is a pain, so i bought a second NIC (Network Interface Card) and dedicated it to ip X.X.X.100 to connect to my GC.

 

connecting modem to USB port is good solution too, unless you have over 12MB net...

 

Stop connecting the modem directly do your computer and get a router instead, then you won't have to.
