Mac OS X 10.3.5 is available now. Download here!

Here's the link for the Combo Update and here we have the latest Security Update dated from Aug. 09.

You can also download the Server Update, the Server Combined Update and the Server Admin Tools aswell as the Security Update for 10.2.8.

Choose whatever you need and have fun installing (via PearPC I s'pose :))

we're still working on getting the networking to work with pearpc. so itll be a little while till we get the updates

I'd help out on the PearPC program, except I'm a terrible programmer. I'd probably break something in the CVS tree :whistle:

[javaworm]

I'm not programming either. Just trying to get pearpc to use my network connection thats in my computer already. Ive been following tekmaven and someone elses builds. It's good to see theres some people back in this board, for a while it was just me and syntax_error. Have any of you gotten pearpc to work with osx yet?

[eaglebtc]

I've had PearPC working almost since the beginning. I use OpenVPN 2.0 beta 2, running Panther, and Windows is set to Share my LAN connection with the TAP driver.

If you're using a home router, make sure to set its LAN address to something OTHER than 192.168.0.1 . Otherwise you'll conflict with Microsoft's Internet Sharing. Change it to 192.168.21.1 just to be safe.

where do you set the LAN address?

[furby]

Should be in the router settings (possibly 192.168.0.1) and in mine at leat its in the DHCP settings, You want to change the default gateway

Hi folks

I have finally succeeded to get MacOS 10.3 running in PearPc after trial and error procedure and extensive research in the internet as there is no complete guideline available anywhere to my knowledge.

I even succeeded to get an internet connection in my Mac client, but I can only reach my Router.

Any address not within my network times out. What do I do wrong?

I have set my wireless connection to share with Open VPN V8, put ppc on the firewall exeption list, but still don't get access to any www address.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanx

P.s. This is my first post, so please forgive me if my request is not complying to standards.

Neowin.net rulez!!

I think your having the same problem that I am. First i need to ask, did you set this up using internet connectiuons sharing in windows? When in OSX do you get an automatically assigned ip address from ICS? I can't ever get my OSX network card to get an assigned ip address, then the same things you mentioned, timing out, no page to display. I cant even get it to ping the tap adapter. I know part of my problem is 10.2.3, but im working on that. This is where me and syntax have been stuck for about two weeks.

[Pirla_Pirlone]

I have installed the TAP Driver and set my Wireless connection to share the connection with the tap driver.

In OSX I have set the Router (Gateway) Address to the IP set in my TAP connection and then manually set an IP address. After having done that I have let automatically set up the IPvP6 connection and restarted the OSX.

Next time when started up I have changed the OSX settings to DHCP and got successfully an IP and connected to my Network.

The problem I have is that I CAN access my Router (DLink DI614+) and can access it via 192.168.1.1 but no site outside my network.

Any clue?

[javaworm]

You might try setting your router(gateway address to that of your router. Thats the only thing I can think of is possibly your router isnt passing the request on to your is. I wish i could get mine to work that far, mine wont even get an address.

edit: in PearPC 0.3.0 ...what does "SDL port" do for better graphics...is the new build making animations like minimize and Expose very smooth for you? or not so smooth?

The guide at http://os-emulation.net/pearpc/web/ is fairly good.

[unrealism]

Is this project still alive??? Any new updates since the passing of the programmer??

Someone PM me with the info please, because I will lose track of the thread.

A new update was in the recent softare news yesterday.

Its version v0.3 now.

[Pirla_Pirlone]

It's up and running. It was not any mistaken setting but a conflict of the two network drivers (Creatix CTX404 WLAN 802.11b and TAP-Win32 Adapter V8). They somehow interfere with each other which results in timeouts in both the host and the guest OS. When I have started up the MAC Client I just have to open any www site in the Windows explorer (of the WINXP Host) which then takes up to 1 minute until I get an answer from my Router. Once I got the page loaded both the Client and the host work pretty stable with 2Mbits :D . Only from time to time I have to reload a page due to timeout.

Another strange effect I'm experiencing is that within MACX in either full screen mode or Window mode the keybord does not react as I wish but any key I press is invoking the Menue and navigating me wherever, but I can not input any text (an url for example).

Anyone knows how to fix that?

[pandi]

about 10.4,which edition of pear can load it?

right now,

I always get "still waiting for root device" thing..

execpt "http://www.therealduckie.net/apple/tigerinstall/"

is there any other ways to load tiger?

thanks a lot..

[eaglebtc]

Pira, you need to change your router's LAN address.

If your router is currently 192.168.0.1, you should change it to 192.168.xxx.1, except don't use 0 or 1.

Why don't you get this **** out of this thread?

You are an idiot.

Take your PC and shove it up your a**.

[NetRyder]

Whoah, calm down guys.

You sound like the people over at Spymac now :p

[iMonkey]

Can you use the upgrade CD to install Mac OS, or do you need the full install cds ?

[Phoenix2004]

This will be real cool, once they have a more usebale version

Question though.... Is it possible to install Windows XP on Mac?

If so, why not buy a MAC & then slip the drive to use OSX & xp? Maybe I've already answered my question.

[kairon]

Um, you can use Virtual PC to run XP on a Mac, but you'll still need OS X since VPC is only a program. You can't boot straight to XP like a PC or anything.And it will be slow since its all being emulated.
