Dreamcast BBA not getting IP / Internal Memory Clearer?

[ImportBoy]

I having trouble getting my Dreamcast BBA to get a local IP address from my router.

I tried configuring it in using two versions of the Passport (Japanese software), and the BBA Utility in Propeller Arena to no luck. Odd thing is, after trying the Propeller Arena utility once, the Dreamcast now freezes when I try to access the utility again.

And to make sure it is not my Verizon FIOS supplied router (which can be a pain with some things), I connected it to my old Linksys router; no dice.

When the Dreamcast tries to get an IP the activity signal LED on the router does flash, so I know the BBA itself is working; just refuses to get an IP.

Given that I obtained my Dreamcast secondhand I am thinking perhaps something is screwed up in the internal memory relating to ISP settings. I have Phantasy Star Online data in there as well (though I never played online; could careless if it erases the data). I also did some configuring of a DC-PC server over a year ago using the modem. Does anyone know a working program that can format the internal memory?

Any thoughts?

Well I was able to fix my problem, basically I had to tell the Dreamcast to use a certain IP that I know nothing else uses on my network. Copied DNS and Gateway settings from my PC and everything works. Still don't know why DHCP was failing, but as long as it works...
