This is soooo kewl.. (at least to quote my 13 year old)!
Using the information from here:
http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc/I am able to access the Mac's HD from within windows! I can use this to transfer files in and out of PearPC! After installing the OpenVPN I set it to an IP of 192.168.1.200 subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and then in PearPC (Panther) I set the network to manual IP and set it to 192.168.1.201 subnet of 255.255.255.0 and then turned on Windows Sharing in the sharing preference. I went to the PC and browsed my network and it shows up in the thing and I mounted and transfered a few documents!
My right now situation is that I can't get on the net from within PearPC because I don't control the router, but that doesn't bother me! I can transfer files!
Now if someone could incorporate the full-screen patch, the windows network patch and optimize it for the different cpu's it would be killer!
Edit: Woot! Someone Did! www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc (thank God for Richard Goodwin!)

Guys a quick question everytime you want to use OSX do you have to reinstall it?

May 26 2004, 13:57
how do you guys get network support to work? do you enable it in windows, but in the config it says its unavailable for windows, unless they got it to work? or is there another thing to install?

Good grief! I would hope not! It takes hours to install Jaguar/Panther (2+ if you don't install all the extras)!
But simply put: No! I haven't had to reinstall, and I have messed around with almost every crazy build and patched build.

You need to follow the instruction at www.kelley.ca/pearpc to modify the config file manually and pay attention to the naming of the adapter in the config file.
You also can't use any of the GUI config file formatters because they change the information needed for the network to work.

You are trying to install an upgrade version onto an empty HD. You need to install a previous version of OS before you can use this upgrade.

My TAP Device is called "Local Area Connection 5", does it need to be something else?

I seem to recall that when you are done installing, it tells you that you will need to restart before it will work. So here is the question.. have you restarted the computer yet?

If you guys want to improve your speed, download ShadowKiller. It makes everything run a tad faster cause theres no shadows.
Now for my problems:
Can someone tell me how to get this networking with a router?
I got it to detect the network card, but I can not get it to connect to the internet what i have:
real card: 192.168.0.1: with sharing on
dns: 192.168.0.99 (router)
then I have emulated card: ip from dhcp
dns: 192.168.0.1
then on osx I have:
ip: 192.168.0.200
subnet: 255.255.255.0
dns: 192.168.0.1
router: 192.168.0.99
what am I doing wrong? It wont connect! any network experts?

Anyone have any success getting networking to work behind a router?
my LAN ip is 192.168.1.1 and the OSX detects the card, but pages still don't load with my configuration:
(in OSX)
IP: 192.168.0.200
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1
I've tried
IP: 192.168.1.200
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1
and
IP: 192.168.0.200
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1
without any luck
EDIT: and when I change it to DHCP, the IP changes to 169.254.XXX.XXX (which I think it means it can't find a DHCP server)
Here's my (working) setup...
True, real-life LAN Router (192.168.1.1)
-My Computer
---* IP: 192.168.1.100
---* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
---* Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (My router is the gateway)
--TAP-Win32 Adapter
---* IP: 192.168.0.50
---* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
-OS X
--* IP Address: 192.168.0.51 Can be set to anything, as long as its 192.168.0.xxx
--* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
--* Router: 192.168.0.50 Your TAP-Win32 Adapter is your Router in OSX
--* DNS Servers I believe this needs to be set to yor real, home router:
----192.168.1.1
----192.168.0.1
----192.168.0.0
This is how my network's set up:
DSL Modem > Router > My Computer, so these settings should only apply if you have a similar setup.

Go to network connections, right click whichever connection your tap-win32's running on, properties >TCP/IP > properties > tick "Use the following IP address"
set IP Address to 192.168.0.50
set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
leave everything else blank, close the dialogs.
