You have:

cpu_pvr = 0x00176604

What CPU is that? I have found a few others, but this isn't one that I am familiar with.

i just took the base number and doubled.... just to see what would happen. i dont see a difference in speed, but it still loads, so i have no idea. im still trying to figure out networking, but the more posts i read about people with 10.1 not getting it to work, the more i think im not gonna get networking running until i find a copy of 10.2 or 10.3 i can install.

Try putting PearPC and all the files in a simple directory like c:/PearPC

Have you got a build with networking support? I got the error when I was using a build without network support

I'm glad to say I got it working pretty quickly tongue.gif the main upset was I was using the wrong version of the program!

I used the files from this site here

I think http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc/ files are the same

Lots of information on how to get networking working and all the files needed smile.gif

because the network code has been merged into the main trunk. it's now a standard part of PearPC

this network problem in 10.3.4 in annoying

I see, so i just get the optimised build now and network included (is full screen merged too?)

Nice jedavis1 smile.gif

And if people just choose a port that is locked in the router (Internet-2-LAN), there should'nt be any security problems from the outside (unknowing people using the proxy) smile.gif

Im sure gonna try this after my update is finish biggrin.gif

@willvg, remove the card from the config. BOOT OSX. SHUTDOWN OSX. add the card. then start osx again. it should be working. (solved for me). that should force OS X to re-install the card. thus making it work.

the changelog mentions nothing about full screen. but considering the fact that there's no full screen build either, i THINK it has been merged too.

Well I got the TAP device to show in OSX but I still can't connect to the net via it.
My router is set to another IP from the default.
ICS won't enable on my connection because it says that the LAN connection is using the same address.
Anyone help us out here please?

seems like everyones gone to sleep or something i need help with 10.3.4 and my net card which was working in 10.3.3

for what ive seen everyone is having networking problms with 10.3.4
T0Y S0LDIER
So i've all but given up on networking, i just dont think 10.1 supports that nic. now im playing with cpu numbers... checking to see what "cpu_pvr = 5x11302656" does. will be back later with test results

TS

The richard's build contain R1 networking code, don't work w/ XPSP2 or OpenVPN 2.

i played yesterday with some numbers also and nothing happened sleeping.gif
im installing 10.3 now cool.gif
T0Y S0LDIER
yeah, im not seeing anything in difference... im just happy it doesnt die when it loads after messing with those numbers so much

TS
T0Y S0LDIER
i take that back... boot up appears to run slower with cpu speeds back at the normal levels... maybe im just imagining things

I had the same problem. my netgear router was using 192.168.0.1 and i guess that is what the ICS wants to use. Just go into your router setting and change your router's default IP, you can change the IP ranges while you are doing that aswell.
i changed mine from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1
and set the ranges up from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.1.2, just change the 0 to 1 in the max ip range aswell
libb
If you use a router and XP, the simplest method is disable ICS, select all Local Connections, bridged them together.

For whatever reason, I have no problems. I downloaded the fullscreen/networking build, it worked fine. I updated to 10.3.4 which took a looong time.... between 4-5 hours, but everything is fine. Network is still working and all. I didn't change or adjust any settings.

Windows XP SP1 (plus all updates)
Pentium 4-M 2.4Ghz
512 MB RAM (256MB allocated to PearPC)
gamestargrinder
it was odd cause after i restarted osx after installing 10.3.4 it said that the card was disconnected
im running xp sp2 rc1
Autumnmist
Is everyone who's having problems with the 10.3.4 update running XP SP2 (one of the pre-releases, RCs, etc)?
gamestargrinder
yep

networking works great even was able to use quicktime aalbeit a bit slow.

Is there a way to pick a windows share within PearPC? That'd be handy instead of changing ISOs.

I found using CuteFTP to share with my Mac really easy...
Under System Prefs, go to Sharing and enable FTP. In CuteFTP (Windows), Use the IP address you assigned to OSX, your shortname (login), and pass.

Cake thumbs_up.gif

edit: Still can't get true file sharing working with Windows itself sleeping.gif

Can a mod reduce the size of the above pic as its way off on my screen and I am running at 1280 res.

its the fact that it reconizes my card but says the cable is unplugged, but it is setup fine in the config file

I had this problem this morning, when I reinstalled OS X
Fixed it by going to Network Properties > Show > Network Port Configurations
Delete everything you can on this page. When you're finished
Show > Network Status
There should be only one conneciton left (or 2 if you have a duplicate), configure it with dummy info and go back to Network Status and see if you get the yellow light (Connected but no Internet). If you get this, configure it with the right info

Go to either download.com or Mozilla's site and download the Mac version of Firefox (in pearpc of course)

And I don't care for that Safari look so I got to change themes in Firefox lol.
