GCARS-CS "failed to configure"

Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2005 8:30 pm

I'm a beta tester for GCARS-CS, and I've just tried testing it with Kai Diagnostics.

At the moment, I cannot get Kai to properly configure the GameCube running GCARS-CS. Kai says "Nintendo GameCube, failed to configure."

Details:

GCARS-CS version was v0.3a (private beta)
GCARS-CS Cube was 192.168.2.32.
GCARS-CS was set to be Player 1, Player 2 was set as 192.168.2.3.
My Kai PC was 192.168.2.3.
My router was 192.168.2.1.
Mario Kart: Double Dash configured fine in Kai Diagnostics, so the problem is not my setup.

I have Ethereal logs of the exchange, but because both Geocities and my FTP client are acting up, I cannot upload them. TheDaddy, if you want them, give me an e-mail address to send them to and I will send them.

Wait a second..... I *think* you have to have DHCP enabled. To enable DHCP, set your GameCube's IP address (in CS net setup) to 0.0.0.0.

what about player 2
should it also be all zeros?

no.... you have to enter the IPs of all players except yourself.

Tried again with DHCP enabled in GCARS-CS. ControlSim froze on the "Contacting the DHCP server" part.

All settings were identical to my previous post, except that Player 1's IP was set to 0.0.0.0 to enable DHCP.

Ethereal logged a DHCP packet, but nothing ever showed up in Kai.

If anyone wants the Ethereal log, just post your e-mail address.
