here is the solution to my problem, copied and pasted from the emaculation forum, i had to do mine a little bit differently tho cuz my router IP is 192.168.2.1, but after a little bit of tweaking it got it to work.

Quote -
I was confused, when people throwed parts of their configuration into the discussion. For a long time it didn't work for me. So by now, I got it all working and want to tell others, what I did:

At first: My network consists of a router (IP: 192.168.1.1) and the win-client (IP given by DHCP: 192.168.1.12).

I enabled the ICS (InternetConnectionSharing) for the normal Network-Device (the one with IP: 192.168.1.12).
I installed the TAP-Driver and as Jackalo said, I set up the ip-adress of the TAP-Device as follows:

IP: 192.168.2.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS-Server: 194.25.2.129 (free DNS Server for everyone)
alternative DNS-Server: 192.168.1.1

Then, after booting into Mac OS X, I found the new Network-Device (the TAP-Device) and configured it like this:

IP: 192.168.2.200
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Router/Gateway: 192.168.2.1 (TAP-Device-IP in Windows)

DNS-Server: 192.168.1.1 (Router-IP)

Now, as I said, got it all working.

ok i hope i helped someone out, now can anyone tell me if that Network/Full Screen Build can do 1280x1024 and what the parameter is for the config?
Kurt871
I seem to have run into a problem. After downloading the 5/27 AXP build and the net+full combo, PearPC will no longer start. The DOS window pops up and then immediately goes away. I've tried a bunch of configs, but none work. Is there something wrong with this config? Thanks for any help.

##
## Redraw interval (in ms)

##
## Boot method
##  this can be
##  1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
##  2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions
##  3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile
##

prom_bootmethod = "select"

## Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "force"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

##
## bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
## machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup

if you dont have the TAP adapter installed its not going to show up, i had the same thing happen to me and it appeared once the TAP adapter was installed

@kurt871

run ppc.exe from a command promp, this will stop it closing so you can read the error

yeah, I knew. but when I was trying to install the TAP,an error happed.and I 've got none "new connection"after the installation..
I knew it's something about my ICS.

p.s.I tried in another pc, it worked like u said..
thanks ..

Im wondering why pearpc is having problems showing Icons/pngīs. Iīve seen a lot of pics in this thread with people having the same bugg so I shouldenīt be OSX thats causing the problem .... Png are all mess up and there also seems to be some sort of bugg with the icons showing strange lines if Im resizeing the dock and so on.... unsure.gif

Could it be video drive (video.x) thatīs causing the problem ???

Im currently running mac osx 10.3.3 happy.gif

If anyone nows how to fix this please share your knowledge smile.gif

funny. on my previous system install, i got networking to work fine. now that i installed OS X in the new build already, in OS X, it says that the network cable is unplugged, while windows says it's plugged blink.gif

Go to command prompt (win dos box)

type

ppc.exe urconfig

where urconfig = the config file you use (pearpc.example)

and that's that
Menge
hmmm just as a quick sidenote. for those having your network cards reporting being unplugged (in OS X), just power down PearPC, go to the config, remove the card, go back to PearPC so that OS X notices that it's been removed, then power down PearPC again, re-add the card, and now OS X will make it work properly.

at least that did the trick for me biggrin.gif

PS.: Post done IN PearPC

[TAP-WIN32]: Enumerating TAP devices...
[TAP-WIN32]: Could not locate any installed TAP-WIN32 devices.
[IO/rtl8139] <Error> Open enetif failed: Operation not permitted

I don't understand how that could be true.. it was working fine yesterday (networking and all). maybe i should try restarting or reinstalling the driver...

[edit] tried restarting, same error
okidoki
Hmm.
Strange,
the boot screen shows there are raw partitions on both the 3gb disk and 6gb disk, yet the osx (10.3) installer doesn't list either of them on the screen where i'm supposed to select where i want to install it.
(tried having master as hd, slave as cd and vice versa - no go)

Anyone else bumped into this before?

Ok so i have had that icon bug a few times i think that the video x driver needs to be updated.
If u r running pear pc with over 256 mb of ram i highly recomend a memory manegment program that can display and clear ram in windows. This has helped me speed up pearpc and keep windows from crashing

Aka
AnalogX MaxMem

For those having trouble getting the ICS to work (for what ever reason) I have gotten a proxy server to work with PearPC and windows.

I used this:

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/freeproxy.html

and bound the proxy server to the TAP win32 driver

and it works. Use at your own risk though.
gamestargrinder
with changing the processor to cpu_pvr = 0x00176604 what does that change as far as speed
0sm3l
@ kurt871

i get the same error, is cuz of the networking, if you dont want to use it just disable it by changing 1 to 0 sad.gif
i know it sucks but soon it will be fixed i hope smile.gif

pci_rtl8139_installed = 0

hmmm according to the PearPC wiki, they're looking into making a native osx driver. i sure hope there'll be some sort of hardware acceleration tongue.gif
(don't expect this soon, though... things like these usually take a while)

as fast as speed i dont think it'll change the speed at which u run this emulator i think that all depends on what spec computer u have i just wanna know more processor values, 1 for looks and 2 so that its not a G3 because they r kinda old

I wonder how long it'll take before they can do this WITHOUT Windows.

mate that is what im trying to find out myself i have already made it run with 512 ram and now i just wanna make it a g5 anyone with some values that will make this happen?? blink.gif
Fozzieb
could you not change from explorer.exe to ppc.bat in the reg (kind of like litestep does to load itself)?

yea i wish they could come out with a number soon and a way so this program doesnt use 100% of my cpu im killing it everytime i run this. Its a pentium 4 1.8ghz so its not that old

SoftPear [http://softpear.sourceforge.net] would be the project to follow if you're interested in replacing Windows all together. If you prefer a Virtual Machine (like I do), then PearPC is the stuff.

What do i need to do for it to say g5

technically, you cant. for quite a few reasons:

1) the G5 is 64bit. PearPC emulates a 32Bit PowerPC Processor
2) You'd need to the the 64Bit enabled version of OS X in order to run it.
3) there are missing instructions that exist in the G5 and don't exist in PearPC. IF you managed to get it to say G5, it prolly wouldn't run OS X (OS X wouldn't run for sure unless u had the 64bit enabled version) nor anything else due to the lack of those.
offroadaaron
what's no.gif for XanDaMan
gamestargrinder
hmm softpear
gamestargrinder
well what about the number for a g4
offroadaaron
well g4 then or is that the start of 64 bit??
gamestargrinder
no i have a friend that has a g4 and g5 both r 32bit
offroadaaron
damn it you beat me too it willvg
gamestargrinder
hehe

well i just installed 10.3.4 and it says my network card is unpluged
the config file has a 1 next to it what to do
go back to 10.3.3?
Menge
@offroadaaron: G4 is 32bit. BUT still the G4 has instrcutions that aren't emulated in PearPC

@willvg: well... i'm sorry but you're wrong. the G4 is 32 bits. the G5 is 64 bits. and it was also CLEARLY stated by apple @ G5's release that the regular OS X does NOT run on the G5. G5s come with a special build of OS X that runs only on them.

Edit: @willvg, on your netoworking issue, all you need to do is remove the card from the config (just comment), boot osx, then re-add the card and boot osx again
Jackalo

y bother updating it its not going to make any difference stick with what works at the moment people wacko.gif
gamestargrinder
ahh its cool

i just need help with this network problem in 10.3.4
Fozzieb
@willvg

did you try disable card in cfg, start osx, shut down, add card in cfg then start osx again
gamestargrinder
i tried that when i disabled it did i actually have to go into system preferences. Cause all i did is boot it up then shut it down a reenabled it and it still said it was disconnected
