Saturn Netlink router advice

Post by dave_van_damn »

What do you guys do when switching between playing your DC and Saturn online? I have my wireless router set up for Dreamcast DMZ. Will I need to reconfigure the DMZ if I want to connect with Netlink? If so, I have a spare wireless router - can I switch it out for my DC configured router each time I want to connect with Netlink?

I do DMZ for dreamcast, port forward for Netlink.

If you're dead set on DMZ, you could try setting the VOIP adapter's IP address to 192.168.x.98 (I'm assuming you're using the dreampi?) and just keep one plugged in at a time. Some routers might not like that though.

Oh, so I can just use port forward for Saturn? I guess I misunderstood the instructions in the guide! Gonna try and get set up over the next few days.
