I have a cable modem on my Win2K machine. I am trying to set it up so that I can dial in with my Dreamcast to access the internet. It seems to work at first, but then the dreamcast reports 'Unable to contact host, could not look up it name'. Sounds like a domain name server thing, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Just like Win98SE win2K has internet connection sharing. go to the network properties and look foor your connection, right click it for the properties and on the sharing tab check the box for ICS. You might have to play around with the settings that allow you different types of access to the internet to suite your needs.

Tried that. The Accept incoming connections almost works, except for the '... could not look up it's name error.'
