Hello! I'm new here (just connected to google through my DC for the first time tonight ).
Sorry, I'm unsure if there's a way to search for topics, so I don't know if this has been posted before.
On to my question: Is it, in any way, possible to play DreamCast games over the internet *without* Port Forwarding?
I only ask as it is more than a little difficult to do with my current modem/router setup.

Re: Port Forwarding
not really.. if the game requires it you will have to port forward or DMZ the dreamcast in order to play online..

Re: Port Forwarding
im assuming you got this sorted right. A quick google would have returned:
Open AirPort Utility.
Select the AirPort.
Click Edit.
Click the Network tab.
Network Options.
Click "Enable default host at"
enter the local IP you wish to use and done.

Re: Port Forwarding
Stick your gateway IP , your router IP in your browser and see what she do
I like the port unblock/forward for everything else but my Dreamcast games wasn't having it so I just enabled DMZ on Dreamcast IP
If unsure , as soon as you connect to Quake 3 it tells you your Dreamcast's IP =}
