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?

Thanks

Hi Guys, long time reader, just registered. Anyway I am trying to network in OSX 10.2 which was installed from a Powermac G4 recovery disk. The TAP driver is installed, and PPC detects it, but when i go and set it up in OSX, this is what happens

Warning: 2304x1024 (dual screen) file sorry if its too big :blush:

[ATLien_0]

whats the difference between the newsdl.3 clock and the standard win32new clock version

[jkabaseball]

one runs for me the other doesn't

[Apex.]

I really do find .03 SDL quite a bit faster than the older versions tho :) (Probably the most obvious difference...)

[santiagomedinasaenz]

Could someone help me?

I had to atart everything again, like you guyd told me to do. Now I can't run it because i don't know what problem is coming out.

Any tips ideas, please something i want to run OS X 10.2 on my XP, please! Please

Ok Look at the pic and tell if you know what is wrong or if i'm using the right version, and what should i do

Please I allready tried everything you guys tld me I need to get it working \

S.O.S S.O.S HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...

[klop]

It should looks like that :

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

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.

If i try to run it, i don't get any error, it just doesn't pop up the normal window.

also, could someone post a link to the tap driver I need, I need to reinstall it and forgot where I found it.

here is my config:

ppc_start_resolution = 8
redraw_interval_msec = 20
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = ""
memory_size = 0x10000000
pci_ide0_master_installed = 0
pci_ide0_master_image = ""
#"darwin-701.iso"
pci_ide0_master_type = "cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "pearpc-6gib.img"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "hd"
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_rtl8139_verbose = 0
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram"

And thanks Klop, that fixed the unknown error, but right now I'm too busy to test further.

[Gary King]

I'm at the 'Select a Destination Volume' part of the installation right now, but there is no choices to choose from! What should I do now? :(

Step 4.

Either you can use the Disk Utility or Darwin.

Btw, Klop, I believe that fixed the networking problem, I did manage to start up PearPC fully this time, but still am too busy to let it load OSX. Thanks again.

actually, installing the tap fixed the problem.....

Is there anything I should change in my config to make the animations run smoother? I noticed I had to change the screen setting to 4 instead of 8. what are the new resolution numbers now?

ppc_start_resolution = 4
redraw_interval_msec = 20
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = ""
memory_size = 0x10000000
pci_ide0_master_installed = 0
pci_ide0_master_image = ""
#"darwin-701.iso"
pci_ide0_master_type = "cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "pearpc-6gib.img"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "hd"
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_rtl8139_verbose = 0
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram"

No problem! :D

When I try to use a partition at the 'Select Destination' step, it says "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. You cannot start up your computer using this volume."

[jkabaseball]

someone help me! got a Network problem. My DOS says this

[iO/3c90x] indicate(00000010) mIntStatus now = 00000000

[iO/3c90x] acknowledge(00000010) mIntStatus now = 00000000

[iO/3c90x] EthTun: 250 bytes received. But they don't pass the filter.

[iO/3c90x] Not uploading, because: mUpStalled(=0) or UpListPtr == 0 (=00000000)

or not mRxPacketSize(=0)

I have it configure right i think. My XP show a connection (when i exit it says it dropped it) But i can't recognize it in OS X. Looks like the underneath is seening it but the OS isn't

You should try getting the official PearPC .2.

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/

And for .2, only these are showed in the config.

0: 640x480x15

1: 640x480x32

2: 800x600x15

3: 800x600x32

4: 1024x768x15

5: 1024x768x32

I use 1024x768x32 and it runs pretty good. The only other one I know if is 8 which is a widescreen type resolution.

Sorry if this sound stupid but how would I get the networking and internet to work in pearpc .3. I read that all you have to do is remove the bridge. I have no clue on how to do this. Can anyone help me step by step.

Thanks in advance

S.O.S S.O.S HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in your ppc config file, turn off Verbose mode, i had that the first time and then i took off verbose and it booted into OSX install normally. in your PPC confic there is a command that has a "-v" at the end of it, put a #(hash) in front of it..

[Ryan Hoffman]

I'm having weirdo problems getting the networking to work how I want it on the new SDL patched build. Networking works when I use ICS, but when I bridge my two adapters, the PearPC can't get an IP address from my LAN's DHCP Server. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the card a million times...

Anyone know whats going on?

[TheReaperMan]

tekmaven try it with the pearpc connection(tap32 driver) not bridged, does that fix it??

[aka JAWheat411]

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.

[phalanx126]

has anyone tried out .2 yet? if so, what's the performance like?

Fast ;)
