So I have been trying to set up DMZ or Portforwarding and have run into a few roadblocks and I made a topic yesterday but that appears not applicable anymore. I think I might be SOL but I figured I would ask one more question.

The only way I can access any router configuration settings is through the Plume App which does not allow me to DMZ but does allow me to Port Forward by making an IP reservation. When connected the dreamcast does not show up as a device connected to the router, however the Pi does. When I went to manually set-up the dreamcast for port forwarding it asked for the IP of the dreamcast which I know and the MAC address for it which I do not know. Just wanted to see if anyone had some thoughts or ideas.

Test the dreamcast ip + raspberrypi mac address

When a router can detect the dreamcast ip .98, always show the same mac address as the raspberrypi. In fact, the modem does not have a mac.

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately that did not work when I tried to test with AFO. Seems like when I did that I could no longer detect the Pi's IP address

I have an alternative solution for you, when you open individual ports to raspberrypi and inside dreampi we redirect to dreamcast. Let me know if you interested and PM me at Discord: User > "Scrivani"
