Well I got the TAP device to show in OSX but I still can't connect to the net via it.

My router is set to another IP from the default.

ICS won't enable on my connection because it says that the LAN connection is using the same address.

Anyone help us out here please?

I had the same problem. my netgear router was using 192.168.0.1 and i guess that is what the ICS wants to use. Just go into your router setting and change your router's default IP, you can change the IP ranges while you are doing that aswell.

i changed mine from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1

and set the ranges up from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.1.2, just change the 0 to 1 in the max ip range aswell

for what ive seen everyone is having networking problms with 10.3.4

For whatever reason, I have no problems. I downloaded the fullscreen/networking build, it worked fine. I updated to 10.3.4 which took a looong time.... between 4-5 hours, but everything is fine. Network is still working and all. I didn't change or adjust any settings.

Windows XP SP1 (plus all updates)

Pentium 4-M 2.4Ghz

512 MB RAM (256MB allocated to PearPC)

Is there a way to pick a windows share within PearPC? That'd be handy instead of changing ISOs.

I found using CuteFTP to share with my Mac really easy...

Under System Prefs, go to Sharing and enable FTP. In CuteFTP (Windows), Use the IP address you assigned to OSX, your shortname (login), and pass.

edit: Still can't get true file sharing working with Windows itself :sleep:

i still cant get os x to say my net car is plugged in in 10.3.4

I had this problem this morning, when I reinstalled OS X

Fixed it by going to Network Properties > Show > Network Port Configurations

Delete everything you can on this page. When you're finished

Show > Network Status

There should be only one conneciton left (or 2 if you have a duplicate), configure it with dummy info and go back to Network Status and see if you get the yellow light (Connected but no Internet). If you get this, configure it with the right info

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Malisk · Posted

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do; get an innate understanding of the night sky or a "quicker" path to astrophotography end results. I put "quicker" in quotes because with my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions, half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, spending a few hours shooting, merging photo sessions, etc. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By Case_f · Posted

      Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
