put in like 192.168.0.55 in osx

[TheReaperMan]

right in your osx set it to 192.168.0.50 subnet 255.255.255.0 see if that fixes it??

[oldaccount1]

Is all this worth it? Whats the point just buy a mac.

yes. macs are overpriced. buy a cheap pc and use this :)

nope doesnt work :(

when i do dhcp i get a weeriiird ip like 169.254.163.111

thats nothing like it should be if its dhcp, i dunno why i cant get it to work.. i can ping from os x to my xp machein.. or my isps dns name server ip's.. but cant connect to the net

bolerodan, how many network card you got and what windows version you using(rc1 etc??), osx version you got ??

[bolerodan]

i have 1 phsyical network card in my computer, i have windowsXP non sp, im using the ppc download from this link here http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc/pearpc_noarch-win32net-R2.rar which is R2, and im using mac os X panther

Even tho Mac's are overpriced you still need 2 operating systems for this. I assum you will need a fairly fast pc to do this. Even then I still dont see a reason for all this fus. I dont mean to sound like a jerk but it seems to me like a waste of money. That would be like running xp over 98. Please dont take this the wrong way but it might be better to buy a older mac like a g4 900 mhz or something.

i installed openVPN tap win32driver.. enabled internet connection sharing and i can see the tap-win32 driver in my network connections area but when i start ppc i get thiserror

[Tap-win32] Enumerating tap devices

[Tap=win32]says could not locate any install tap-win32 devices

[i/Ort18139]error open enetif failed: operation not permitted

ideas?

Bolero, how did you fix your problem? That is the exact problem I am having at home...

[bolerodan]

i just downloaded http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc/pearpc_noarch-win32net-R2.rar the ppc from this link. uset hat. now i got it to detect it, now i just cant find a good combination of ip's to use for the net to work in mac os x

KoL, out of curiosity, post a SS of how you have OS X's network set up

[hoyablue]

Just as a curious Mac user, how are you all finding the performance of Mac OSX under PearPC? As I can see, many of you have fully customized your OS which probably underlies the assumption that you all are finding the performance to be succesful.

[KeR]

KoL try to set your IP Address and your DNS Server to be the same.

well yeah its not bad performance but not up to true mac speed at all yet(some of the effects are very slow, some software(most :D ) runs ALOT slower that normal mac. but the emu is in its very early stage so it should get faster.(I think it needs acces to direct x or quartz emu for it to work at better speeds etc)

nothing :(

[bolerodan]

nothing :(

Under DNS, add 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, and 192.168.0.0 (all 3 on seperate lists)

ot: Yup, born and San Juan and lived in Guaynabo for a bit, live in Kentucky now :blush:

[amr_01]

@KoL: router address should be 192.168.0.1

[bolerodan]

i have mine all like that

routeris 192.168.0.1

ip: 192.168.0.50

DNS just like ViciousX said......

the tap-win32 connection in xp has an ip as 192.168.0.1 is that right?
