Getting the Dreamcast Broadband adapter to work without the browser software?

Can anybody tell me how to tell whether my broadband adapter is working. Just bought it. I see no link light on my switch when I plug in the my ehternet cable. I have tried both a cross over cable and a straight through cable. The person I bought it from says I need to use the planetweb 3.0 browser to activate it. I think I should at least see a link light with it plugged in. Please somebody that has this device please tell me if my thoughts are right. Thanks

shakes my head) , boy what a dummy user you were, you DOES need a software like planetbrowser or other program like gnu linux ,the main reason is the hareware driver has to be loaded into and avicates the hardware ,you can't just plug it in and just power up expexting a link light ,don't use a crossover cable to a hub ,the crossover cable is for linking between 2 dc or a pc to a dc or a pc to pc
if you're hooking up to a hub ,use straight through cat 5 network cable
if you want to get info or dl dc stuffs go to /dcemulation.com i know that site alway have one stupid popup ad
so ciao!
