Running Mac OS X on x86 PC!

[S.MULLA]

a new emulator called PearPC seems to be able to run OS X on x86 machines:

Worked, thanks. :)

Do you only need a Mac OS X CD to get PearPC working or do you also need a Darwin installation CD?

(ignore this - my bad)

you only need the Mac OS X CD.

This has a bunch of links for guides incase you need one.

We can't help you if you don't tell us what the problem is.

I have a question, if I want to try a different build of pearpc do I have to reinstall osx?

One more I use a router to connect to the net, is it any different getting osx to see the router?

no, you dont have to reinstall osx, just replace the ppc.exe file with the new one you download.

if you use a router you will not be able to use the ICS method as you will have a conflicting IP address with your router and thus screwing your net connection.

I have this working with a router. IP Addresses:

BEFW11S4 Router:

IP: 192.168.1.1

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

DNS: From ISP

WUSB11 USB Wirless Adapter:

IP: 192.168.1.7

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS: From ISP

ICS Enabled

TAP Win32 Driver:

IP: 192.168.0.1

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.7 (If putting the adapter address doesn't work try leaving this blank)

DNS: From ISP

OS X:

IP: 192.168.0.20

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS: From ISP

Two problems: 1) PearPC must be run as an admin 2) One time I would lose all internet connectivity when OS X connected. I had to turn off then turn back on ICS on the Wireless adapter.

Dude, i have a router and thus far have had zero problems.

Maybe you should try changing your router's LAN address to something other than 192.168.0.x :D

I have my subnet set to 192.168.21.x for example. No problems whatsoever.

[ATLien_0]

well i really cant do much on the internet now in pearpc. For some reason when i try to go to network conncections in xp it says there is no file/association for network connections. I need to get in there to tweak my bridge settings. Anyone got a clue on how to fix that

My friend is having trouble with his router, could you explain how to change the Router's IP?

[+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹]

I'd like to know that to, whenever I change my router's IP address I loose my internet connection and I can't access the router's HTML configuration screen.

[santiagomedinasaenz]

How do I run the internet in os x 10.2 if I have cable conection. It only lets me run it using phone conection.

Any Idea? Please someone help me.

Thanks

[mgleason007]

Well, without knowing what router it is, I would say open a web browser and type in the router's ip. Login, and find the screen that allows you to change the router's IP.

y would you need a subnet at home :s ??

[santiagomedinasaenz]

please does any one knows if you can conenct a network with os 10.2, and if there is any guide to these

Thanks, please just a little bit of help on these I wanna finish installing everything to use my OSX

[mgleason007]

y would you need a subnet at home :s ??

How would you set up a TCP/IP network then?

[offroadaaron]

you dont need a subnet for tcp/ip like the 1 u have for home unless you have heeps of computers and dont what them to always talk to eachother?? 255.255.255.0 is fine y would you need something other than that for home use unless you where trying to learn certain things about subnets

Somebody needs a refresher course in TCP/IP Networking. :rolleyes:

A subnet is a group of computers with similar IP addresses. All the computers on my local network, for example, are on the subnet 192.168.21.xxx . This means that I have to assign them an IP address in the range of 192.168.21.1 ~ 192.168.21.254. You cannot use 0 and 255; those are reserved for routing traffic.

A subnet mask is a mathematical expression of how many IPs you plan to give out in a particular subnet. The typical mask is 255.255.255.0. Sometimes you can set them to 255.255.255.128, or .64, or .32, etc... The full explanation is very technical and way beyond the scope of this thread.

Click here for a nitfy subnet calculator that might explain it a little better.

And Webopedia.com has a nice entry for "Subnet Mask."

As for those of you who want to change your router's LAN address, the procedure will be different for each manufacturer.

The procedure is basically this: You need to access the router's configuration page by opening your browser and pointing your browser to http://192.168.x.1, where x will be your IP address "class C." Look at your own IP address to get this number. Most routers ask for a username and password at this point. If you have no idea what to do here, try admin in either the username or password fields. Or try it in both. If that doesn't work, consult your router's manual. Next, you'll be looking for the LAN configuration. You'll want to change the LAN (not WAN) address to 192.168.Z.0, where Z some number OTHER than 0, 1, or your current LAN address.

I had PearPC working just fine, then I wanted to update my build and connect to the internet. First off, I need a tutorial for the internet connection, I went back as far as page 170 then got tired of looking. Secondly, I replaced my exe for the 0.2 build with the 0.3 SDL and added the SDL.dll to my folder, but now when I click on the ppc.exe or the ppc.bat, i just get a quick flash of a cmd prompt box then it dissapears and nothing happens. I tried my old exe and still nothing, I just cleaned up my ppcfg_HD.txt as well, so that could also be my problem, and suggestions??

This is my config file

# PearPC Configuration File

ppc_start_resolution = 5

redraw_interval_msec = 50

prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

On a more 'PearPC' related front, here's a development update.

For the last few days, CVS was being reorganized (and thus no one could make any new additions). That is complete; SDL is now in CVS, however the mouse is screwed up. There has been talk of adding the 'suspend' feature, dual emulated processors (for smp machines), and writing an AGP driver for OS X on the PearPC mailing list over the last few days ;-).

Hopefully soon we'll start getting compiling + functional builds out of CVS again :-).

[santiagomedinasaenz]

please does anyone knows if you can conenct a network with os 10.2, and if there is any guide to do so.

Has anybody coneneted it succesfully?
