whats the proxy method

Thats your problem there. You can't use the network with 10.3.4. It hasn't been solved yet. if you can get back to 10.3.3 then your network will work fine.
Networking works with 10.3.4
Start with the networking commented out in your config, boot OSX, delete all network cards, shutdown PPC, put networking back into your config, reboot OSX & reinstall cards.
look on page 122, think it was there...

Adding # to the beginning and making it equal 0
Taking it out completely is the same thing...at least is should be.
what do u have your res set too it should be set to 14 or 15 i have mine set to 14 working fine
there u go he beat me to it
Note to a moderator:
This topic is over 130 pages: this is a huge problem. I've read 99% of it all, but most peopel who discovered PearPC today and find this thread will NOT read all of it. There is so much to talk about with PearPC that it almost deserves its own forum.
I don't have any real good suggestions on how to remedy this. Maybe a quick fix is to close this topic, start a new one, and keep closing / starting new topics? That doesn't seem to work well for a long time period. Maybe a subforum would be good?
Anyone else wanna comment on this?

Sorry, none of my configs had those settings listed, Thank you.
Only way that I can think of to fix this thread would be for someone to create a guide using all the important points...there's just too much to talk about though 
i think your right Tekmaven i agree fully
Yep that would be a good idea...
Its impossible to read all this thread.
Here's 2 links to get networking working in PearPC:

LMAO!!!
sadly ive done everything u guys and the guide has told me so i guess ill have to wait for a net patch for 10.3.4
yea ive been reading also 
the new nightly builds don't have the full screen patch or the refresh rate...and I deleted the old one, crap.
http://liquid.liquidm3dia.com/ppcguide.htm
I fixed the mistakes in my guide. Thanks for all of you letting me know.

Wish I could get networking going but i'm on a network and my router is using the ip 192.168.0.1 so I can't enable ICS.

Change your routers IP to 192.168.1.1 or just bridge the 2 connections.
ok i even changed the net adapter to the 3com one and in os x i still get this
why wont it show the other card or delete it

Me too! But I just hadn't have internet access for a day and the pages jump from 98 to 135!
I've been on this thread since day one too... I read neowin every day, browse the forums, but I don't post as often as I should :-X.
I haven't seen the current PearPC GUI for Windows (someone made one I believe)... but I'm working on one. If all goes well, I should have shots tomorrow! My plan: make it look sweet, work well, and be bug free (oh wait, thats every programmers plan :-X).
Edit: I forgot to ask.. can someone attach (or upload and link) a properly unjournaled formatted 15gb hard drive image (zipped really small). I started out with a 3gb image, and well, I'm full. Is there a precedure to extend an image file? What about me adding a second image hard drive and copying/resizing partition? It would be a bummer to reinstall again.. lol

You would have to backup your current 3gb one to windows over a network and then restore it later.
i need a mac user to tell how to COMPLETELY Remove all know traces of that network card in os x. Like i said even if i remove it in the config or use the 3com one nothing changes in net preferences

Maybe this is a post for the Mac forums?
Guys, if your question is about PearPC ask it here. If its about Mac OS X, ask it in the Mac forums ;-).
Crap i shutdown half way through the 10.3.4 install and now I cant boot. Gonna reisntall now.

man u guys r luck i felt so lucky last night to get both sharing and networking working now it wont
willvg : wow 100% of your posts are in this thread...
Why dont you try to reinstall everything...
Tap drivers, download the lastest build of PearPC, make a new config file and reinstall OSX.
Like you said before you already got networking working... it could be your windows configuration?
i guess
yea ive had all of my posts since i joined last thursday here
yea ive had all of my posts since i joined last thursday here

Just 51 pages here. 40 posts per page setting makes it much easier I think.
My install is only 2 hours this time. Hmm odd. LOL 0.2pre is faster.

For those of us who haven't been reading the 130-odd pages of posts, can someone give a summary of what has been happening on this thread: namely, what are general success rates for installing OS X on an x86 using PearPC, and what is the user experience like (I've read a few posts, and apparently, because it is being emulated, the OS is at least 10 times slower than on a real Mac)? I would be greatful for someone giving a short summary, since I haven't had time to follow this thread in its entirety.

Click on Windows NT4/2000/XP Client up above.
And when you come to this screen, just click on the number under "Replies"
i followed this guide exactly and it worked great: http://s87840517.onlinehome.us/pearpc.html
If someone could tell me how to make it run faster i'd appreciate it.
I used Mac OS X 10.2 btw

also Liquid in you guide I would advice you to rewrite it without using the darwin .iso because there is no need to download it.

well im only using about 52% or of of my cpu so 
Reboot, and turn off hyperthreading. You'll see a significant performance increase (nearly double) because PearPC can now use 100% of your CPU instead of just 50%. The reason it only uses 50% is becuase PearPC is not hyperthreading-aware, and thus thinks your computer has multiple processors. It can only use one of these virtual "processors" at a time, though, and so you can't get 100% CPU usage without disabling hyperthreading.
um... i have an athlon xp 2500+ ... theres no HT

I was not aware you didn't need darwin. I tried without darwin and could not boot.

I did it without Darwin and it worked fine!
Try borrowing your friend's copy of OSX 10.3 sometime, or go searcfh for the "exploding star" as I mentioned earlier.
