PSO and playing online

Today I found my final hardware piece for my game cube which is the broadband adapter for playing Phantasy Star Online. Granted, Sega has pulled the servers with the exception of the Japanese servers in Japan. I have found that there is a set of servers being privately run so you can again play with friends online.

You might ask why I didn't buy an adapter for my Sega Dreamcast? It is simple really, the adapters for the Dream cast are $150 and that is nuts to just play one game. So instead, I traded some old games on Craigslist for an adapter for the Gamecube. Now my task is to setup the DNS settings correctly so that I may play online, org and they do not charge for online play. They only take donations.

The server setup can be found by Googling schthack and following the instructions in the guide. I will update more later as I come along in progress, but I believe my modem is blocking my activity.
