[S.MULLA]

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

Well I got the TAP device to show in OSX but I still can't connect to the net via it.

My router is set to another IP from the default.

ICS won't enable on my connection because it says that the LAN connection is using the same address.

Anyone help us out here please?

I had the same problem. my netgear router was using 192.168.0.1 and i guess that is what the ICS wants to use. Just go into your router setting and change your router's default IP, you can change the IP ranges while you are doing that aswell.

i changed mine from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1

and set the ranges up from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.1.2, just change the 0 to 1 in the max ip range aswell

If you use a router and XP, the simplest method is disable ICS, select all Local Connections, bridged them together.

for what ive seen everyone is having networking problms with 10.3.4

For whatever reason, I have no problems. I downloaded the fullscreen/networking build, it worked fine. I updated to 10.3.4 which took a looong time.... between 4-5 hours, but everything is fine. Network is still working and all. I didn't change or adjust any settings.

Windows XP SP1 (plus all updates)

Pentium 4-M 2.4Ghz

512 MB RAM (256MB allocated to PearPC)

it was odd cause after i restarted osx after installing 10.3.4 it said that the card was disconnected

im running xp sp2 rc1

[Autumnmist]

Is everyone who's having problems with the 10.3.4 update running XP SP2 (one of the pre-releases, RCs, etc)?

[ATLien_0]

yep

networking works great even was able to use quicktime aalbeit a bit slow.

Is there a way to pick a windows share within PearPC? That'd be handy instead of changing ISOs.

I found using CuteFTP to share with my Mac really easy...

Under System Prefs, go to Sharing and enable FTP. In CuteFTP (Windows), Use the IP address you assigned to OSX, your shortname (login), and pass.

edit: Still can't get true file sharing working with Windows itself :sleep:

thers gotta be a reason why 10.3.4 wont connect 10.3.3 worked fine

[Pootis Spencer]

I just unticked the 10.3.4 update because it seems people are having trouble with it and the net connection.

Can a mod reduce the size of the above pic as its way off on my screen and I am running at 1280 res.

[ATLien_0]

its the fact that it reconizes my card but says the cable is unplugged, but it is setup fine in the config file

I had this problem this morning, when I reinstalled OS X

Fixed it by going to Network Properties > Show > Network Port Configurations

Delete everything you can on this page. When you're finished

Show > Network Status

There should be only one conneciton left (or 2 if you have a duplicate), configure it with dummy info and go back to Network Status and see if you get the yellow light (Connected but no Internet). If you get this, configure it with the right info

Wee, I got iChat working = network is up! Yay!

Say.. now where's the browser on this thing?

[Acezo]

HellBender, the little compass thing in the dock :p

[aka JAWheat411]

Browser= Safari

Kinda crappy though.

Go to either download.com or Mozilla's site and download the Mac version of Firefox (in pearpc of course)

[ATLien_0]

i only have one thing in port config and thats my card, it wont let me delete it

[ATLien_0]

u know that saffari has the same features as firefox right, dl manager, pop up blocking and tabbed windows

I am just partial to Firefox....been using it (and previous variations) for a long time.

And I don't care for that Safari look so I got to change themes in Firefox lol.

if using OSX, why firefox? just use Camino
