Hi. I have a ATT account for DSL, and i heard that you can use that info for dial up. However, when i try and connect, it will say my phone cord is not in the wall. I've tried a lot of different telephone jacks, with no avail. Can someone tell me how to fix it? THanks. | ||||

You may be able to use the same account info for dialup, but you still need a land line. Do you also have phone service from AT&T? It's possible to have DSL without phone service (I do). | ||||

Is the phone service a VOIP type, or PSTN? In other words, do you have to plug a phone into anything (besides a line filter) before you'd be able to dial out? | ||||

Since it says that you don't have your phone cord connected, it sounds like an equipment problem. Do a little basic troubleshooting.
1. Verify you have a dial tone. 2. Check your phone cable between the DC and phone jack. Try a different one if you have one available. 3. Set the DC to dial a cell phone if you have one to verify the Dreamcast can dial out. 4. Try both with and without the line filter. |

you may need to call AT&T to get some more information. I use to use their dial up when i had their DSL service. Make sure that you have the correct local dial up numbers from them as well as the correct DSN numbers. | ||||

Domain Name Server number, try these 68.94.156.1 Primary 68.94.157.1 Secondary... i should note that quake 3 should be set to 0.0.0.0 for both. i have not played it in a long time so idk if the master list issues are sorted out, or if people have to still manually enter server IPs? I had my second dial up page set up for quake back then, you may want to do the same. | ||||

The reson it was not working, (i think) is that to use the dial up, you cannot use the login info for a sub-account. It's impossible to change the member username/login and mine is too big. Is there any possible way to get it to fit? | ||||
