i have mine all like that
routeris 192.168.0.1
ip: 192.168.0.50
DNS just like ViciousX said......

the tap-win32 connection in xp has an ip as 192.168.0.1 is that right?

-bolero

at default yea, I had to change mine because it was conflicting with something else on my network

Generally, remember that (these are assumptions that I've made from my experience today, some may not be true in every case)
1. Your Tap-win32 adapter's IP# is what OS X's "Router" should be set to
2. It has been narrowed down what OS X's DNS should actually be set to, I used those three values because they're generally router values, and they ended up working for me
3. I believe OS X's "IP Address" can be set to anything, as long as the first 3 parts of the number are the same as the first three parts of your "Router (in OSX)"/Your Tap-win32 adapter
4. Your router can't be set to 192.168.0.1. This interferes with the Tap-win32's default address OR Internet Connection Sharing (not sure yet). Try 192.168.1.1

If all else fails...Try using DHCP

nothing
Im going to keep tryong later


@ViciousX: Im from Bayamon

i ahve tried DHCP, but it gives me a huugge wakced up ip address, and the network setting say in mac osx that it hs a set-assigned Ip address and the net may not work wit ha yellow caution sign


is there even a way to be sure that the internet connection sharing is working correctly between the main connection and the tap-win32 one?
-bolero

hmmm
smacked in the TAP driver (the beta one), enabled the network in the config. into osx. preferences. networking. detected. apply now. there.... got internet

darn that was easy

go to start > run > cmd
type ipconfig

paste what you get there here (If it shows your internet IP address, you can edit that out)

lol you lucky people who get it to work right away!!!

edit: heres what i got ViciousX

i have nothing in my "network connections" labeled anything like "internet connection". i do have my "local area connections". so is there some other way to enable internet sharing without "internet connections" or is there a way to get it back. as far as i know, i've never had it during this install (about 1.2 months old). any help would be great.

Enable ICS on "Local area connections"

how come it says that i dont have a cable plugged in? anyone else have this problem?

It'll say this until you open PearPC

the cable will be plugged in once PearPC is loaded and set to use the network

Edit: ViciousX: damn... u beat me to it

no, i mean in OSX, it says there isnt a cable plugged into the card

i installed it, updated my config, and didn't do anything else. When i booted into osx it configured automatically. maybe i'm just one of the lucky ones

bolerodan, how did you fix that previous problem?

the previous problem of pearpc not finding the tap-win32 device?
i jsut downloaded the latest ppc R2 from the website posted a couple pages back or so.
but still havnt figured out this ip configuration problem.. heh

-bolero

Okay, in OS X try:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
DNS (Use both these values): 24.150.160.1
24.---.--.-- (Your Internet IP#)

I fixed it by Enabling Local Area Connection 2 in Network Connections.

Its the LAN connection made by the tap program... If it is disabled, you get that error.

ViciousX: i don't see it anywhere.

Post a screenshot of your Network Connections folder in Tiles view

this is what i see:

@viciousX: darrnn i typed everything in and nothing worked i still get "unknown host" in safari when loading the page

-bolero

does the VPN patch work for XP SP1? i tried running the one off of John's site but i got an error

Make sure the Internet Connection Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing service is on, and double check the ICS on the nForce onboard adapter.


I'm out of ideas
You're completely sure ICS is enabled?
Try adding 192.168.0.1 and scwe3.on.cogeco.ca to your DNS list, just for kicks

OK i tried loading this, and it says:



So this means I have to have a RealTek RTL8139 installed in my PC, correct? I have a few stored away in a box. Shall I install it?

no. that means you need the OpenTAP driver provided with the tutorial and the special build. it will add a virtual network connection to your pc

I hope not. I'm sure I have an Intel onboard network card.

eaglebtc: noop, you don't have to install a realtek card, just installe that openvpn win32 driver, enable ICS and you're off to go.. some minor changes in osx as well, but that's well documented.. sure you have installed the right openvpn driver and rebooted after install?

I downloaded the RAR mentioned two pages ago, but where is this "special build" that has an OpenTAP driver?

ok i figured out my problem, for some reason the TAP adapter isnt getting an IP from my main adapter, i have ICS enabled but it just isnt giving it an IP address, wtf is going on here?

*sigh* sometimes I wish the Neowin servers were set to 20 or 40 pages per post, instead of just 10.

I'm downloading OpenVPN right now; is this what I need?

eaglebtc: klicky here

Where are you guys getting the 10.3.3 or 10.3.4 combo update? Links on apples site leads to non-existent page :-/..

Thanks .

Whooo. OSX is now loading.

edit: Eek. I got a "No" symbol in the middle of the screen. The pinwheel thingy is still spinning, though. I guess I have nothing to be worried about :confused:

edit2: OH wait, it's loading the CD. Gotta switch the primary and slave devices.

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...inedupdate.html

cpu killer: (while in ppc) I just clicked on the apple and chose software update..

Thanks, updating now .

ok, im getting desperate now, here is my current setup

Router IP: 192.168.2.1
TAP IP: 192.168.0.1
OSX IP: 192.168.0.50

if any of you can help and are using aim please IM me at Skywing269

thanks

i just got the update (10.3.4).... the installer hung at "14 minutes left" and the prorgess bar is full. status says "Running Installer Script" and that's it... its been there for about an hour

dang... i hope i dont have to resinstall OSX

Check out "Board Settings" on "My Controls".

Hi guys
i followed the steps to get the network working in mac os x by installing the openvpn-2.0_beta2-install in windows, but i get this as soon as i deleted the ## on the lines of
pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

I DL'ed the 6Gb HDD image and installed 10.2 onto it. Everything seemed to go fine but when I reboot to the newly installed HDD, it just loops on "still waiting for root device".

I've done the boot disk fix thingy of swapping the partitions around and that didn't help.

I have however managed to install and run 10.2 successfully on my PC at home.

Any ideas?

any resolution here is my config:

OK, that was weird. At first Windows was not allowing me to share my primary LAN connection. But now I can.

Man, it's been a long time since I've used Neowin.


edit: W00T! "Network Extensions" is loading. yay! I think it worked.

thats the thing, how can we really tell ICS is working properly? do you have to tell ICS which other connection to share it with or do you just enable the checkboxes and it does it by itself?

-bolero

They should work on improving speed

They have.

Are you using the JITC version? It's faster than the regular binary. The JITC's "processor" is about 40-50 times slower than your clock speed, but the I/O is fast and the graphics can be as smooth as you want (refresh rate). So if you have a 3.0GHz Pentium 4 @ 3,000 Mhz, then your PearPC will run like a 60Mhz G3.
