I have a question, if I want to try a different build of pearpc do I have to reinstall osx?

One more I use a router to connect to the net, is it any different getting osx to see the router?

no, you dont have to reinstall osx, just replace the ppc.exe file with the new one you download.

if you use a router you will not be able to use the ICS method as you will have a conflicting IP address with your router and thus screwing your net connection.

I have this working with a router. IP Addresses:

BEFW11S4 Router:

IP: 192.168.1.1

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

DNS: From ISP

WUSB11 USB Wirless Adapter:

IP: 192.168.1.7

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS: From ISP

ICS Enabled

TAP Win32 Driver:

IP: 192.168.0.1

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.7 (If putting the adapter address doesn't work try leaving this blank)

DNS: From ISP

OS X:

IP: 192.168.0.20

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS: From ISP

Two problems: 1) PearPC must be run as an admin 2) One time I would lose all internet connectivity when OS X connected. I had to turn off then turn back on ICS on the Wireless adapter.

PearPC .3pre running 10.3.4 on Windows XP Pro

Dude, i have a router and thus far have had zero problems.

Maybe you should try changing your router's LAN address to something other than 192.168.0.x :D

I have my subnet set to 192.168.21.x for example. No problems whatsoever.

Well, without knowing what router it is, I would say open a web browser and type in the router's ip. Login, and find the screen that allows you to change the router's IP.

you dont need a subnet for tcp/ip like the 1 u have for home unless you have heeps of computers and dont what them to always talk to eachother?? 255.255.255.0 is fine y would you need something other than that for home use unless you where trying to learn certain things about subnets

^^^

Somebody needs a refresher course in TCP/IP Networking. :rolleyes:

A subnet is a group of computers with similar IP addresses. All the computers on my local network, for example, are on the subnet 192.168.21.xxx . This means that I have to assign them an IP address in the range of 192.168.21.1 ~ 192.168.21.254. You cannot use 0 and 255; those are reserved for routing traffic.

A subnet mask is a mathematical expression of how many IPs you plan to give out in a particular subnet. The typical mask is 255.255.255.0. Sometimes you can set them to 255.255.255.128, or .64, or .32, etc... The full explanation is very technical and way beyond the scope of this thread.

Click here for a nitfy subnet calculator that might explain it a little better.

And Webopedia.com has a nice entry for "Subnet Mask."

As for those of you who want to change your router's LAN address, the procedure will be different for each manufacturer.

The procedure is basically this: You need to access the router's configuration page by opening your browser and pointing your browser to http://192.168.x.1, where x will be your IP address "class C." Look at your own IP address to get this number. Most routers ask for a username and password at this point. If you have no idea what to do here, try admin in either the username or password fields. Or try it in both. If that doesn't work, consult your router's manual. Next, you'll be looking for the LAN configuration. You'll want to change the LAN (not WAN) address to 192.168.Z.0, where Z some number OTHER than 0, 1, or your current LAN address.

I had PearPC working just fine, then I wanted to update my build and connect to the internet. First off, I need a tutorial for the internet connection, I went back as far as page 170 then got tired of looking. Secondly, I replaced my exe for the 0.2 build with the 0.3 SDL and added the SDL.dll to my folder, but now when I click on the ppc.exe or the ppc.bat, i just get a quick flash of a cmd prompt box then it dissapears and nothing happens. I tried my old exe and still nothing, I just cleaned up my ppcfg_HD.txt as well, so that could also be my problem, and suggestions??

This is my config file

# PearPC Configuration File

ppc_start_resolution = 5

redraw_interval_msec = 50

prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

cpu_pvr = 0x00088302

memory_size=0x10000000

prom_bootmethod= "auto"

prom_env_machargs= "-v"

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "D:\pearpc\PantherImage.img"

pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

pci_ide0_slave_image = "D:\pearpc\OSX_CD1.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

pci_3c90x_installed = 1

pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

pci_usb_installed = 1

nvram_file = "nvram"

On a more 'PearPC' related front, here's a development update.

For the last few days, CVS was being reorganized (and thus no one could make any new additions). That is complete; SDL is now in CVS, however the mouse is screwed up. There has been talk of adding the 'suspend' feature, dual emulated processors (for smp machines), and writing an AGP driver for OS X on the PearPC mailing list over the last few days ;-).

Hopefully soon we'll start getting compiling + functional builds out of CVS again :-).
