(NO LONGER A REQUIREMENT)How to connect DNS style (PSO+ Connection guide)

[PokeLinkEB]

This is still here for historaical info. Because of how Krono set the new server up there is no longer a need for MR dns on the players side.

Note, this guide applies mainly to connection with the U.S. version of PSO+


Ahem...

1. First of all to get the MR.DNS

Spoiler:

Note if you download MR.DNS its been preconfigured for use, you just need to run it and then get the ip of your computer with ipconfig at a comand line



2. After you have that installed you should see a text file named redirect (make sure its in the same location as MR.DNS), erase whatever is in there & replace it with 173.214.164.235



3. Go to your Windows Panel then type in run, hit enter, type in cmd, hit enter. (run is not always required)

4. Now type ipconfig & hit enter once more! Where ever it says IPv4 or something similar write it down for later.



5. Now go to options before you start PSO & go to your Network Settings > Provider Settings > Provider 4 > Edit

Spoiler:

6. Change it to l33tserv or w/e you prefer [next] Set it to not automatically disconnect [next] Set DNS address to manual & copy what you wrote down into Primary DNS [next] Leave the ports empty, unless your a PC wiz [next] Finish & save.

Spoiler:

7. Run Mr.DNS & try connecting online, hopefully it works, enjoy




If you notice a Text box in PSO that asks about Hunters Licence and some crap like that Just hit "a" on your controller to pass it. As of Now we do not require a registration its just a small server hickup.

Video of the gamecube part is Located here

To make it easer and you never have to change the gamecubes settings go and set your computer as a static IP, I have done this and by a click of a buttion on my computer I can go to other servers aswell

[PokeLinkEB]

Okay pictures are up now for some visual help.

P.S. I like making polls

[I3ot]

lol why does one poll option say DIE? xD

[Major.Roboto]

Oh some trouble shooting tips


Game Cube Does not connect and ME.Dns does not close
Make sure the game cube has the computer right IP, this will be a bit more problem matic with a laptop as Ip leases on routers change every 24 hours,
Fix : Set a static IP on your computer, (Make shure its out of your DCHP range on your router) mine is from 100 to 200 so I use digits like 50, my laptop is 19.168.1.60


The reason I am posting about this James had this happen to him,

[Kroniedon]

I voted die.... xD I'll be integrating this into a full connection guide later on

[Major.Roboto]

I was bored and made a video on it




I kind of got to test out a new program so yeah

[PokeLinkEB]

Nice of you to do this

[Major.Roboto]

wellcome, like I said I had nothing to do and wanted to test out my system

[Major.Roboto]

this is a guide I wrote for another site I went out with a bang there

Spoiler:

just so yeah

[Captain N]

for the pso plus connection guide i thought pso + did not connect to 192.168.xxx.xxx ips? I thought you had to run a dns and use your external ip.

[Major.Roboto]

I herd it works just fine, might also work if you change your routers lease.

[PokeLinkEB]

Hopefully people can start using this soon, just need to set the IP up again.

The server works with PSO non + atm you peeps.

I just tried it with pso+. I'm able to log in(hearing the different music, not standard lobby music), but no welcome screen or ship select screen appears. Do I have to register a guild card or something somewhere?

[Captain N]

I'm on. worked well for me. master needs to disable the hunter license validation fail. it will confuse the noobs like jake. Where is my max attack S. Better place that up or i HAXors.

[pooyan]

It must be my pos zyxel modem/router. It won't even give me an option to dmz. I get the same timed out err 100 from another server.

purchase a linksys router and jsut have your zyxel modem bridge the conenction to the linksys. i have a westell modem/router from at&t and i hav eit just bridge the connection to the linksys router.

lol, it is disabled, it's just where we used the different method of connection xD

[JThud]

can anyone relink the needed download as i need mr dns since i have pso plus and mega upload no longer exists

[Kroniedon]

If it's any consolation, the server is receiving your connection, that is, if you're the character named "Pooki" I think it was? I've been watching the server console logs closely today for just these instances. Hopefully we can get a DNS redirect server put into place for PSO+ users sometime this week. If you're using PSO+ JP or PAL version, you should be able to connect without using the PSO+ connection guide methods and just using the standard dns connect (Just adding this in incase you use a different version than NTCS).

Did you try the downloads tab in the forum nav bar? xD

[Major.Roboto]

Hey man, I'm no new guys.

Anyways just hit A to pass the message. its a normal message something relating to the server.

We do not require regestration at the moment.
