= How to use the BroadBand Adapter =
== Windows ==
* Install OpenVPN TAP Adapter V9, included in the OpenVPN installer: OpenVPN download page
* Go to start menu. Click '''TAP-Windows''' and then click '''Utilities'''. Right click '''Add a new TAP virtual ethernet adapter''' and run it as administrator. It will complete in a few seconds.
* In '''Control Panel\Network and Sharing Center\Change adapter settings''', select the TAP device and the adapter you use to connect to the internet.
* Right-click and select '''Bridge Connections'''.
== Linux ==
Install OpenVPN from your distribution package manager, then run the following commands (as root) to create the virtual interface and bridge it to your physical Ethernet adapter:
<pre>
openvpn --mktun --dev Dolphin --dev-type tap
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 Dolphin
brctl addif br0 eth0    # or whatever your network interface is
ip l set Dolphin up
ip l set Dolphin promisc on
</pre>
You'll also need to change your network settings to configure IP/gateway on br0 instead of your usual adapter. Linux doesn't support adding a wireless interface to a bridge as of July 2012 so you need a wired NIC for that to work.
== Configure Dolphin ==
Config -> Gamecube -> SP1, select BBA.
Now you may play any games which use the BBA.
