Running Mac OS X on x86 PC!

[S.MULLA]

a new emulator called PearPC seems to be able to run OS X on x86 machines:

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/index.html

Check out the screenshots:

[sdkaneda]

wait, so all you guys are saying you can run os x on windows now?

...WOW!

:whistle:

[HaraldBluetooth]

Networking doesnt work for me

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

I have the same problem ... :(

Anyone?

[0sit0]

damn im booting on verbose mode to see what was going on, and i get this error :(

do you guys know what it means?

[ATLien_0]

i havent been able to connect either my config files got the right network card listed and a 1 next to it but os x still doesnt show it. My Tap win 32 isnt connected when i run pear pc. I have xp sp2 rc1 is that why?

[ATLien_0]

could someone with their internet working post their config file please

[mihir]

i can't get the intallation to see a hdd, what am i doing wrong do you think?

Here's what my config file looks like:

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "c:\pearpc\pearpc-6gib.img"

#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

my card is rtl8139 but its got a /810x on it do i need to add that

[niteowl]

Wow, PearPC has come a long way since I used it back a couple of weeks ago.

Now it's faster, has networking support in Windows and does fullscreen

(and this thread is 100 pages long!)

:)

[Acezo]

willvg,

Change

#pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

#pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

to

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

[amr_01]

for those who's network isn't working. mine was doing the same, then i set it to dhcp, even though the directions say to manually set it, as soon as i did dhcp, it worked!

[ATLien_0]

do i need to change the mac adress

[evacsoul]

Anyone have any success getting networking to work behind a router?

my LAN ip is 192.168.1.1 and the OSX detects the card, but pages still don't load with my configuration:

(in OSX)

IP: 192.168.0.200

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Router: 192.168.0.1

DNS: 192.168.0.1

I've tried

IP: 192.168.1.200

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Router: 192.168.1.1

DNS: 192.168.1.1

and

IP: 192.168.0.200

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Router: 192.168.0.1

DNS: 192.168.1.1

without any luck

EDIT: and when I change it to DHCP, the IP changes to 169.254.XXX.XXX (which I think it means it can't find a DHCP server)

[Acezo]

Here's my (working) setup...

True, real-life LAN Router (192.168.1.1)

-My Computer

---* IP: 192.168.1.100

---* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

---* Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (My router is the gateway)

--TAP-Win32 Adapter

---* IP: 192.168.0.50

---* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

-OS X

--* IP Address: 192.168.0.51 Can be set to anything, as long as its 192.168.0.xxx

--* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

--* Router: 192.168.0.50 Your TAP-Win32 Adapter is your Router in OSX

--* DNS Servers I believe this needs to be set to yor real, home router:

----192.168.1.1

----192.168.0.1

----192.168.0.0

This is how my network's set up:

DSL Modem > Router > My Computer, so these settings should only apply if you have a similar setup.

[HaraldBluetooth]

My problem is that OS X does not see my network card (even though the TAP-card get enabled when starting OS X). Could it be that this version is not working with OS X 10.2?

[amr_01]

mine works, and i have a router. i didn't do anything special. i followed all the directions, except using dhcp.

[HaraldBluetooth]

mine works, and i have a router.

10.2 or 10.3 ?

[evacsoul]

my tap-win32 is showing the 169.254.XXX.XXX address anyway to fix this?

[ATLien_0]

i changed my config file still no luck

[amr_01]

10.3, sorry...don't know if it works with 10.2. i would think they would have said something if it didn't

[ATLien_0]

could someone please post their config file with network working

[Acezo]

my tap-win32 is showing the 169.254.XXX.XXX address anyway to fix this?

Go to network connections, right click whichever connection your tap-win32's running on, properties >TCP/IP > properties > tick "Use the following IP address"

set IP Address to 192.168.0.50

set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0

leave everything else blank, close the dialogs.
