Anyone know why the new fullscreen+networking combo from richardgoodwin.com/pearpc won't allow for selection of resolutions above 1024x768? The other full screen builds allowed for 1280x1024. I assume this is true for everyone else? Any reason why or a workaround?

I hate the fact that every time I Install something in OSX it has to restart, is this normal?

everyone used to say that os x was perfect, but when u have to restart twice as much as windows which everyone complains about that isnt perfect

ME WANT INTERNET

Not only am I able to transfer stuff to the HD Image from within network neighborhood (or what ever it is called) I can more reliably use FTP to access PearPC. All you have to do is start FTP on the mac under the sharing preferences.

However, I haven't been able to get internet working (but I don't have control of the router to change it from 192.168.0.1)

jedavis1 what did u do to get sharing between the os's to work cause maybe i could get that to work for now

Ahh so it doesn't work on SP2.

yea kinda sucks ive been looking foward to getting it work all day

Look here

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pearpc/...pc-6gib.img.bz2

*don't right click and "save as"*

Just click the link and it will take you to mirror sites.

nvm , got it working - just set to use DHCP .

anything bigger than a 6gb image?

i really dont want to have to go back to sp1 to get internet to work

i only have 10.3 on DVD, how would i go about ripping the image?

isobuster thinks its a CD

Then wait for the patch willvg

I have the following specs:

WinXP Pro with SP1 and all patches
T1 line with a DHCP firewall at 192.168.0.1 (I can't change this)
PearPC with full-screen and network patch
Panther 10.3.3 on a 6GB HD image

Installed the OpenVPN driver and set it to 192.168.1.200/subnet 255.255.255.0 (I don't know why I chose this)

In Panther I opened the network preference and poped-up the menu and it said it found new network device and I chose that and set it for manual configuration with 192.168.1.201/ subnet 255.255.255.0/ router 192.168.0.1 (it complains about the router not being on the same network or something but I click continue anyway)

Open the sharing preference in panther and set it to use personal filesharing, windows and ftp.

In Windows XP I selected My Network Places and selected "add a network place" and put in "ftp://username:password@192.168.1.201" the username/password of your Panther account. Then I double click this after it is created and I can push/pull stuff from the windows side (I haven't been able to share the PC because I am on a Domain controller that doesn't allow sharing of personal folders/PCs)

This is the portion of my config file for PPC.

#
# Network (wasn't available on windows-but is now!)
#
pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

does ANYONE know how to rip this DVD?

I was able to create an ISO from my 10.2.7 DVD and get as far into the installation telling me that it wouldn't run on this kind of mac (10.2.7 is for G5's only)

I used the trial version of Alcohol 120% and used the ISO wizard. PPC booted off of it fine. It mounted it as a CD, but didn't complain.

Alcohol 120 is saying i can only make a .mds file

Can anyone see a fault in my config?

Are commented out, see those # infront? that makes the program ignore those lines so jsut remove those 2 # signs from those and it should be fine.

-bolero

well, it is without # 2 lines up. Should that not be OK?

I'm installing Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.. Check it out

anyone know of a free MDS to ISO converter?

journaled or extended will work. I don't think OSX will let you install on a standard formated disk.

oh okay sorry i didnt notice that

did you install the OpenVpn Tap-win32 driver and enable internet connection sharing in your real net connection? heres a page with instructions

http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc

-bolero

That's been done.

this is really starting to agrivate me, does ANYONE have any idea how to rip the DVD version of 10.3?

I am pretty sure that it doesn't work in Jaguar. I have two pretty identical installs except on HD image is panther the other jaguar and jaguar doesn't work, but panther does. Go figure?

I finally got the connection working! In OSX I went into Proxies and checked Web Proxy(HTTP) then clicking Apply Now (left the boxes for web proxy server blank)

why does microsoft make office look so much better for their rival and not their own windows

exactly.

so does anyone know how to get the resolution to go above 1024x768 in the new fullscren+network combo?

Use this in your config file, it applies just as well

##
## Resolution
##
## 0: 640x480x8 (indexed)
## 1: 640x480x15
## 2: 640x480x32

## 4: 800x600x15
## 5: 800x600x32
## 6: 1024x768x8 (indexed)
## 7: 1024x768x15
## 8: 1024x768x32
## 9: 1280x960x8 (indexed)
## 10: 1280x960x16
## 11: 1280x960x32
## 12: 1280x1024x8 (indexed)
## 13: 1280x1024x16
## 14: 1280x1024x32

## The indexed modes are unsupported.

EDIT: SP2 Users, your patch is out (willvg )

To get people buy Office 2004 and keep apple from making an iWrite and iSheet app.

MS doesn't have a monopoly on OS X software, so they actually need a good product.

Oh really? You mean I'm not the first person to ever install Office?

I'm stunned.

Yup, at least 2-4 other posters were showing it off many pages back.

well microsoft can still spend time and make office look as nice as the osx version
look at office 2003 how much different does it look compared to office xp, 2000, and 97 not much just a slight change. Then look at their version for mac and look at the detail and the 3d graphs in excel

i'm running 10.3.3 with networking, running nice, i like it.

Yeah, I tried that already. It does indeed change the resolution, but full screen mode no longer works. I try pushing F5, but the screen just flickers and nothing happens.

Screenshot of safari working?

10.3.4 is out now to.

Did you change the refresh rate to match what you're using in your normal desktop?
Works fine here

i installed openVPN tap win32driver.. enabled internet connection sharing and i can see the tap-win32 driver in my network connections area but when i start ppc i get thiserror

-bolero

I was being sarcastic. =p

R2 of the networking build was just released: http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc/

THANK U SO MUCH NOW LETS TEST IT OUT

not working

Yup, that's what I get...

now its booting up good

hmm...i am behind a router too, but i can enable internet connection sharing.

well im a little dissapointed, im not sure why pearpc cant find the installed tap-wn32 driver when it is!!

-bolero

just got in from a long day at work, downloaded the new build with the network patch/f5 full screen. installed the openvnc thing as per other post and guess what

WOOT WOOT I HAVE NET ACCESS FROM MY PEARPC WOOT WOOT

all i need now is sound:D

Well, the networking build from that richards site didn't work for me, I had to grab the other one and now it works sweet. I can only imagine where this app will go int he future


I'm also gagging for 1600 x 1200 full screen usage
