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

the tap-win32 connection in xp has an ip as 192.168.0.1 is that right?
-bolero

at default yea, I had to change mine because it was conflicting with something else on my network

Generally, remember that (these are assumptions that I've made from my experience today, some may not be true in every case)

1. Your Tap-win32 adapter's IP# is what OS X's "Router" should be set to

2. It has been narrowed down what OS X's DNS should actually be set to, I used those three values because they're generally router values, and they ended up working for me

3. I believe OS X's "IP Address" can be set to anything, as long as the first 3 parts of the number are the same as the first three parts of your "Router (in OSX)"/Your Tap-win32 adapter

4. Your router can't be set to 192.168.0.1. This interferes with the Tap-win32's default address OR Internet Connection Sharing (not sure yet). Try 192.168.1.1

If all else fails...Try using DHCP :p

i ahve tried DHCP, but it gives me a huugge wakced up ip address, and the network setting say in mac osx that it hs a set-assigned Ip address and the net may not work wit ha yellow caution sign

is there even a way to be sure that the internet connection sharing is working correctly between the main connection and the tap-win32 one?

go to start > run > cmd

type ipconfig

paste what you get there here (If it shows your internet IP address, you can edit that out)

i have nothing in my "network connections" labeled anything like "internet connection". i do have my "local area connections". so is there some other way to enable internet sharing without "internet connections" or is there a way to get it back. as far as i know, i've never had it during this install (about 1.2 months old). any help would be great.

It'll say this until you open PearPC

3,223 · May 27, 2004

the cable will be plugged in once PearPC is loaded and set to use the network :)

no, i mean in OSX, it says there isnt a cable plugged into the card

i installed it, updated my config, and didn't do anything else. When i booted into osx it configured automatically. maybe i'm just one of the lucky ones :)

May 27, 2004

bolerodan, how did you fix that previous problem?

May 27, 2004

Okay, in OS X try:

IP Address: 192.168.0.2

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Router: 192.168.0.1

DNS (Use both these values): 24.150.160.1

24.---.--.-- (Your Internet IP#)

bolerodan, how did you fix that previous problem?

I fixed it by Enabling Local Area Connection 2 in Network Connections.

Its the LAN connection made by the tap program... If it is disabled, you get that error.

ViciousX: i don't see it anywhere.

Post a screenshot of your Network Connections folder in Tiles view

does the VPN patch work for XP SP1? i tried running the one off of John's site but i got an error

2,269 · May 27, 2004

this is what i see:

Make sure the Internet Connection Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing service is on, and double check the ICS on the nForce onboard adapter.

@viciousX: darrnn i typed everything in and nothing worked i still get "unknown host" in safari when loading the page

I'm out of ideas :(

You're completely sure ICS is enabled?

Try adding 192.168.0.1 and scwe3.on.cogeco.ca to your DNS list, just for kicks :unsure:

OK i tried loading this, and it says:

[TAP-WIN32]: Enumerating TAP devices...
[TAP-WIN32]: Could not locate any installed TAP-WIN32 devices.
[IO/rtl8139] &lt;Error&gt; Open enetif failed: Operation not permitted

So this means I have to have a RealTek RTL8139 installed in my PC, correct? I have a few stored away in a box. Shall I install it?
