Guys a quick question everytime you want to use OSX do you have to reinstall it?

[bolerodan]

how do you guys get network support to work? do you enable it in windows, but in the config it says its unavailable for windows, unless they got it to work? or is there another thing to install?

Good grief! I would hope not! It takes hours to install Jaguar/Panther (2+ if you don't install all the extras)!

But simply put: No! I haven't had to reinstall, and I have messed around with almost every crazy build and patched build.

You need to follow the instruction at www.kelley.ca/pearpc to modify the config file manually and pay attention to the naming of the adapter in the config file.

You also can't use any of the GUI config file formatters because they change the information needed for the network to work.

You are trying to install an upgrade version onto an empty HD. You need to install a previous version of OS before you can use this upgrade.

Has anyone been able to get the TAP working with XP SP2 RC? I'm using the new beta2 TAP, and I get this error message when starting 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

My TAP Device is called "Local Area Connection 5", does it need to be something else?

I seem to recall that when you are done installing, it tells you that you will need to restart before it will work. So here is the question.. have you restarted the computer yet?

@jedavis1

If windows shares work, can i access my windows mp3's from inside pear pc and load them in iTunes (even though sound does not work)?

I hope sound is the next patch we get (come on dev's)

[Menge]

ok.... fast redraws+full screen+networking..... hmmm... time to put the HD with OSX into the pc again.. :p

[KoL Veteran]

Networking doesnt work for me :(

Its because it said Build-in Ethernet and not PCI Ethernet Slot pci10ex,8139, Port 4?????

If you guys want to improve your speed, download ShadowKiller. It makes everything run a tad faster cause theres no shadows.

Now for my problems:

Can someone tell me how to get this networking with a router?

I got it to detect the network card, but I can not get it to connect to the internet what i have:

real card: 192.168.0.1: with sharing on

dns: 192.168.0.99 (router)

then I have emulated card: ip from dhcp

dns: 192.168.0.1

then on osx I have:

ip: 192.168.0.200

subnet: 255.255.255.0

dns: 192.168.0.1

router: 192.168.0.99

what am I doing wrong? It wont connect! any network experts?
