I wish I was that lucky, now the game works I can't connect online. It gives me the message "The server has refused the connection" I have my dreamcasts IP in a DMZ and I've also tried port forwarding. Are there any other options I have?

What IP are you DMZ'ing? Curious if you got the correct IP in. it should end in .98

.98 as it is on dreamcast lives guide page. I also tried port forwarding the listed ports for the same address. Curiously though my dreamcast doesn't show up as a DHCP client on my routers devices list

my router shows my dc connected through my pi's ip address when I search for it. Are you using a router modem combo? or Individual units?

It's a standard ISP modem router combo unit. I've seen my dreamcast appear on the client list before. Perhaps it's my dreampi now

Did you use "pass" as password?

You should be able to connect without any port-forwarding/dmz, that
is needed when you actually want to play a game :)

Yeah I used 'pass' as the password, I updated my DreamPi to version 1.6 just now and I can now connect to the server. I'll have to try a match later with someone but for now once again problem solved. Thanks to everyone for your patience and help :)
