This guide describes how to configure the Sega Dreamcast for Internet connectivity. The following assumes that the Dreamcast has successfully been connected to and tested on a TV. Make sure that a phone line is connected into the Dreamcast. You will need to have the Dreamcast Browser CD in the drive in order to proceed. Plug in your keyboard, if available, or use your controller to enter the information with the onscreen keyboard.

In the Dreamcast manual, there is a place in which you can write down all the settings which will be needed. You may want to copy the information from this sheet to the book for future reference.
