Heh I can't even move my cursor on it :rofl: , it comes to the bit where it says select language and then I get stuck!

Whenever I press f12 the whole thing just freezes until I press f12 again :blink:

Edit: I unloaded window blinds and now the cursor moves fine?

the only thing you do by running it on a PC is break the license agreement and you loose technical support from apple thats about it.

Did you actually read the Agreement?

4. Termination.

This License is effective until terminated. Your rights under this License will terminate automatically without notice from Apple if you fail to comply with any term(s) of this License. Upon the termination of this License, you shall cease all use of the Apple Software and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Apple Software.

Clear off, this is old ground. you can see buy reading this thread none off us give a crap about that, you can see buy other threads people don't give a crap about unofficial build of longhorn either. It is their choice, if you don't agree then start a threand and moan there (i'm sure it will be as popular as this one).

OK, after spending many hours on getting networking installed, it still does not work. I've come to the conclusion that 10.1 does not the TAP nic. i've seen a few people running 10.1 that have the same problem as myself. that being, that pearpc loads the tap driver and states that its emulating the nic... windows gives the emulated nic an ip or you can assign it yourself, but in any case, OS X does not find a new nic. so unless someone running 10.1 that got networking to work, can tell me and others what we're doing wrong, i feel it safe to assume that the TAP driver does not function with 10.1.

TS

PS: i hope someone can prove me wrong

a word of advice..

do not install the 10.3.4 update! Networking is not present.. The card in osx says that the cable is unplugged (wtf!).. hope someone makes a fix for that one.. :o

Well I still can't enable ICS.

I have changed my routers IP to 192.168.0.2 but I still get the can't enable ICS error on my connection.

Well I managed to enable it now by enabling it on the TAP connection first then tried it again on my wirless connection and it swapped it over.

However now the ICS is enabled I get in the DOS box:

Could not locate any installed TAP-WIN32 devices.

EDIT: Although the ICS is enabled its only enabled on LAN not on the TAP device.

sorry if this has been answered, i read thru the first 20 pages and i'm out of time. i have to leave...

i just installed CD1 but now it's asking for CD2, when i enter it in the config, it just sits there and does nothing, and when i tell it to boot the HD, it says i need to boot CD2, and if i tell it to boot CD1, it boots installation all over again.

how do i finish the installation? :cry: :cry:

# CPU Config

#

# Processor Version Register

# Defaults to 0x00088302

# Only change if you know want you are doing

#

cpu_pvr = 0x00176604

You have:

cpu_pvr = 0x00176604

What CPU is that? I have found a few others, but this isn't one that I am familiar with.

Mac are the ONLY way to LEGALLY run OSX. And a Mac would probably be cheaper than Apple sueing you for breaking the license agreement that you agreed to.

how the hell are they going to sue you? they dont know where you are do they?

here is the solution to my problem, copied and pasted from the emaculation forum, i had to do mine a little bit differently tho cuz my router IP is 192.168.2.1, but after a little bit of tweaking it got it to work.

I was confused, when people throwed parts of their configuration into the discussion. For a long time it didn't work for me. So by now, I got it all working and want to tell others, what I did:

At first: My network consists of a router (IP: 192.168.1.1) and the win-client (IP given by DHCP: 192.168.1.12).

I enabled the ICS (InternetConnectionSharing) for the normal Network-Device (the one with IP: 192.168.1.12).

I installed the TAP-Driver and as Jackalo said, I set up the ip-adress of the TAP-Device as follows:

IP: 192.168.2.1

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS-Server: 194.25.2.129 (free DNS Server for everyone)

alternative DNS-Server: 192.168.1.1

Then, after booting into Mac OS X, I found the new Network-Device (the TAP-Device) and configured it like this:

IP: 192.168.2.200

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Router/Gateway: 192.168.2.1 (TAP-Device-IP in Windows)

DNS-Server: 192.168.1.1 (Router-IP)

Now, as I said, got it all working.
