[S.MULLA]

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

Windows Networking is here

I'll try this out in a few mins... :woot:

[panoz]

ViciousX: How is it going? any success?

[Pootis Spencer]

I am trying this as well.

[Orson]

Ya trye it now

Posting this from Safari :D

Bugger.

When I try and enable ICS from my wireless connection I get:

Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled.

A LAN Connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing.

DAMMIT!!

Anyone know how I fix this?

[panoz]

Moe: I'm getting the same error message.. very annoying indeed.. :pinch:

[Acezo]

Quick google found this... http://www.palmzone.net/modules.php?name=F...=viewtopic&p=83

:unsure:

[Pootis Spencer]

SP2 yea?

[panoz]

moe: noop.. just alter your routers ip to something else than 192.168.0.1.. seems like the ICS is trying to get the same ip thus the problem..

thanks V.. (Y)

[SAMeAiM]

Yeah, just change your routers ip to 192.168.1.1 if it uses the 192.168.0.1 becourse ISC wants the 192.168.0.1 :(

My router's ip is also 192.168.0.1, so i changed it to 192.168.1.1, but i couldnt really get it to work and i dont know why but i was just getting an error while enabling the ISC :(

I'll maby try later :rolleyes:

[Acezo]

Anytime :happy:

I actually had to change the Tap connection's IP address and set "Router" in OS X to that address, so if anyone's having problems with OS X not connecting, try that.

And I can't get OS X to connect with ZoneAlarm open :hmmm: It's no problem though.

THe ppc batch work ,but cannot find any bootalble disk , how can i make bootable

i got the 6 gig part.img ,mac OSX 10.3, this is my config...

Is this before or after you installed OS X?

[molox48]

i haven't install OSX yet iam stuck here

[Acezo]

Found your problem, set

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

pci_ide0_slave_image = "G:\OSX-CD1.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

to

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1

pci_ide0_slave_image = "G:\OSX-CD1.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

Hey guys,

yesterday, when I started PearPC, all of a sudden, during booting, I got this message:

So what can I do about it?

I heard this is called Kernel Panic and normally, on a real Mac this is no problem, but PearPC keeps telling me the problem persists, every time I start it.

[Pootis Spencer]

Well I tried everything to ge the networking to work.

I changed my routers IP and it still won't allow ICS.

[Adster01]

Good idea! Gonna try it when I reach home.

Any luck with that hard drive upgrade Alvin?

[colordeficiency]

It can't be done, as there's the partition table and stuff. It only copy the partition the OS is installed.

[panoz]

yeah OSX alive and kicking! :woot:

[TheReaperMan]

oh well, looks like i am doing a other install over night then on two the 20gb one then

[HaraldBluetooth]

Is it not possible to copy the information from a 3 gb drive to a 20 gb drive?

Is there no ?Partition magic? around for OS X? OR, could img faked drives be mounted in the PC version? OR, can Ghost be used?

[jedavis1]

This is soooo kewl.. (at least to quote my 13 year old)!

Using the information from here: http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc/

I am able to access the Mac's HD from within windows! I can use this to transfer files in and out of PearPC! After installing the OpenVPN I set it to an IP of 192.168.1.200 subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and then in PearPC (Panther) I set the network to manual IP and set it to 192.168.1.201 subnet of 255.255.255.0 and then turned on Windows Sharing in the sharing preference. I went to the PC and browsed my network and it shows up in the thing and I mounted and transfered a few documents!

My right now situation is that I can't get on the net from within PearPC because I don't control the router, but that doesn't bother me! I can transfer files!

Now if someone could incorporate the full-screen patch, the windows network patch and optimize it for the different cpu's it would be killer!

Edit: Woot! Someone Did! www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc (thank God for Richard Goodwin!)
