0 gimbo2003 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 can anyone help me get networking to work so I can access the net? I have installed the win tap 32 network thing and windows detects a connection when osx starts, but the card is always assigned a 169 ip address. I have followed the earlier advice and it still getting the same IP, if i assign things manually i still cannot access the net. Anyone any ideas?

0 TwiztedCam Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Guys, I have to say, PearPC .2 by the original author is really great. Amazing speed increase. And with me having a low end processor I can finally go below 100 redraws and still keep great performance. I suggest you all try it out. And I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I can't be bothered reading through 184 pages to find the answer. But I'm using 10.3.4 and whenever I try to turn on the rtl network driver for the Tap32 method and load up the config it gives me the error: unknown identifier 'pci_rtl8139' in line 110 I looked this up on emaculation forums and people were saying to use a different version of PPC, but it still showed up in all the versions I tried...

0 Fonze Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I got the new ppc.pre03.SDL.win32newclock build off of Richard Goodwin's site and a SDL dll from somewhere on this thread, but I can't seem to get PearPC to run anymore.

0 aka JAWheat411 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Yeah. I had that problem before also. I had used internet connection sharing. Then after updating OS X only way I could get internet to work was to bridge the connections. But I removed the bridge and just ICS later and it worked.
