I was trying DHCP but with the DNS set manually, but looks like the game does not like it (it didn't work). After changing to static ip it worked just fine, thank you for the tip. It's interesting that the game does not use the XDP BBA setup saved in the console already as well.

Thanks Shuouma for developing this server, is awesome! I had my first online racing with SEGAMAX.

Btw like someone said before, the PAL release does not work with the BBA, it does not detect it (I was scratching my head wondering why until I read that).

I will try that with my BBA. I strongly suggest that this should all be noted on a game specific "warning" on a connection guide strictly for this game so all can just go there and reduce connection questions.

Much faster than expected...interesting the game/server communication is that selective.

The leaderboards for POD as well as Monaco are now viewable on DC Live! Note that Shu hasn't implemented the Monaco Top 10 yet so that's just going to show 0s for now.

No Monaco will work, that is, both points and track/lap record will show OK on ur site

Monaco only gives points in the Championship mode, so if u would play a championship
the result will be updated accordingly.

I haven't reversed the Monaco Track/Lap record message for Monaco yet.
