You wouldn't be able to connect to the Toy Racer server if this was a problem with the DNS. Only 46.101.91.123 will allow you to see the Toy Racer server. The DNS server you input on the Dreamcast will be ignored as DreamPi will always use 46.101.91.123.

Guys, sorry for the late response I've been very busy lately. As Impulse said we are in the process of getting new server hardware I just ordered the parts yesterday. The motherboard died on our current server and it is no longer usable. However, you may have noticed it came back online yesterday. I hooked up the hard drive to our old server motherboard/cpu from a few years ago so in the meantime while I'm building the new server everything should still be accessible. The new server will probably be online some time late this month or early next month. We might have some disruptions as we transition between them so I'll keep you informed.
Regards,
brourke228

So the server has been back online for a while now but today marks the deployment of our brand new server. Everything seems to be running like before. And the dc-talk master list is back online.

We plan on addressing issues with 4x4 evolution server as well in the near future.

Guys, our 4x4 server should now be working again. It was called to my attention awhile ago that the Evo server was having issues. I've been busy with work but finally had time today to look into it. It looks like our server firewall was dropping the packets being sent to it from the game client even though they were being allowed because it was having trouble tracking the session state. So I just had to remove the keep state option for traffic on the ports that the game uses. I tried connecting in-game and I'm no longer seeing any issues. If anyone is still having problems connecting to our chat server let me know. Thanks.
