Heh I can't even move my cursor on it :rofl: , it comes to the bit where it says select language and then I get stuck!

Whenever I press f12 the whole thing just freezes until I press f12 again :blink:

Edit: I unloaded window blinds and now the cursor moves fine?

the only thing you do by running it on a PC is break the license agreement and you loose technical support from apple thats about it.

Did you actually read the Agreement?

4. Termination.

This License is effective until terminated. Your rights under this License will terminate automatically without notice from Apple if you fail to comply with any term(s) of this License. Upon the termination of this License, you shall cease all use of the Apple Software and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Apple Software.

Clear off, this is old ground. you can see buy reading this thread none off us give a crap about that, you can see buy other threads people don't give a crap about unofficial build of longhorn either. It is their choice, if you don't agree then start a threand and moan there (i'm sure it will be as popular as this one).

OK, after spending many hours on getting networking installed, it still does not work. I've come to the conclusion that 10.1 does not the TAP nic. i've seen a few people running 10.1 that have the same problem as myself. that being, that pearpc loads the tap driver and states that its emulating the nic... windows gives the emulated nic an ip or you can assign it yourself, but in any case, OS X does not find a new nic. so unless someone running 10.1 that got networking to work, can tell me and others what we're doing wrong, i feel it safe to assume that the TAP driver does not function with 10.1.

TS

PS: i hope someone can prove me wrong

Well I managed to enable it now by enabling it on the TAP connection first then tried it again on my wirless connection and it swapped it over.

However now the ICS is enabled I get in the DOS box:

Could not locate any installed TAP-WIN32 devices.

EDIT: Although the ICS is enabled its only enabled on LAN not on the TAP device.

sorry if this has been answered, i read thru the first 20 pages and i'm out of time. i have to leave...

i just installed CD1 but now it's asking for CD2, when i enter it in the config, it just sits there and does nothing, and when i tell it to boot the HD, it says i need to boot CD2, and if i tell it to boot CD1, it boots installation all over again.

here is the solution to my problem, copied and pasted from the emaculation forum, i had to do mine a little bit differently tho cuz my router IP is 192.168.2.1, but after a little bit of tweaking it got it to work.

I was confused, when people throwed parts of their configuration into the discussion. For a long time it didn't work for me. So by now, I got it all working and want to tell others, what I did:

At first: My network consists of a router (IP: 192.168.1.1) and the win-client (IP given by DHCP: 192.168.1.12).

I enabled the ICS (InternetConnectionSharing) for the normal Network-Device (the one with IP: 192.168.1.12).

I installed the TAP-Driver and as Jackalo said, I set up the ip-adress of the TAP-Device as follows:

IP: 192.168.2.1

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS-Server: 194.25.2.129 (free DNS Server for everyone)

alternative DNS-Server: 192.168.1.1

Then, after booting into Mac OS X, I found the new Network-Device (the TAP-Device) and configured it like this:

IP: 192.168.2.200

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Router/Gateway: 192.168.2.1 (TAP-Device-IP in Windows)

DNS-Server: 192.168.1.1 (Router-IP)

Now, as I said, got it all working.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
