networking issue

After several days of trying and unsuccessful forum and google searches I still can't get networking in pearpc 0.1.2 on my 2.4.20 athlon xp machine, using OS X 10.3 as a client. Anyway, thanks to the developers, they are doing a great job.

I followed the instruction as described at http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/netsetup.html setting

Code: Select all

PPC_HOST_IP   = "192.168.2.80"
PPC_CLIENT_IP = "192.168.2.1"

Nework Packet Filtering is compiled into my kernel, modprobe tun loaded the module successfully, my user has rw rights to /dev/net/tun, client networking has been set up with the driver provided at http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/apsl.html, the kext loads successfully as well, providing the device en1.

After having set the appropriate permissions, starting pearpc and executing

Code: Select all

sudo ifconfig en1 up 192.168.2.1
sudo route add default 192.168.2.80

I still do not receive any error message, but I cannot ping any ip except .1 from my client and .80 from my host, respectively. From within OS X:

Code: Select all

ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: wrote 192.168.2.80 64 chars, ret=-1

As there are ip snippets in the pearpc log, no error messages, and received bytes on the ppc device:

Code: Select all

ppc       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:FF:C6:AF:A0:FE
          inet addr:192.168.2.80  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:67 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:11419 (11.1 Kb)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

I guess the reason for my problem might be found outside pearpc, actually.

Furthermore I did not succeed with disabled firewall, just to be sure.

So how can I finally get my network up? Where could I check settings or look for error messages, which documents could I read to deeper get to know how to examine my issue? Is there any further information, I should provide for you?

Any hints are appreciated. Thank you in advance.
