Network config makes PearPC Crassh

Ocix33 · Post by **Ocix33** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:35 pm

Hi! i have a problem that i'm not being able to solve. In the config file in the Network area everytime i turn on the option for the network card PearPC crashes in the next second after i try to start my Mac OS x 10.3

let me give you an example:

##
## Network
##
## Choose one of the cards

pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "00-0C-6E-32-CB-64"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_rtl8139_mac = "00-0C-6E-32-CB-64"

This way IT WORKS, but network in not active.

##
## Network
##
## Choose one of the cards

pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "00-0C-6E-32-CB-64"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "00-0C-6E-32-CB-64"

This way PearPC Crashes. I ALSO TRYED WITH ":" instead "-" separating the MAC address of my card.

Does anyone has a sollution for this??

Thank you very much in advance.

Do you have the TAP-network device from OpenVPN installed? It is required for networking to work.

When you install it, install only the TAP-device

thank you for your help. in fact, that was the problem for the CRASH. Although, i'm not succeeding to put the Mac Os 10.3 with network in order to access the internet or other pc in the network. I've tryed to make bridging and single config. DHCP does not work.... i always get the 169.***. range ip.
any suggestion?
I'm using openvpn-2.0.5-install.exe. I've configured the "TAP-Win32 Adapter V8" to get an IP from DHCP and tested it. nothing. I've puted an IP and still nothing....

I'm lossing my mind with this Network issue!!!

Please someone!

Thank you very much.

You should indeed use the realtek card emulation in windows.
You posted your config earlier and the entries to the network cards were not right. So enter this:

pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

Hello again. Here's the issue.

On a fresh install of Mac OS 10.3 on a Fresh install of Windows XP SP2 (native OS) i've installed openvpn-2.0.5. no problem at all until now.
Tryed to configure network like this:

Local area network (My company network)
IP: 192.168.1.214
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254

DNS1: 192.168.1.1
DNS2: 192.168.1.4

Under this conection, i've selected Properties - Advanced - Share internet access.

On the "TAP-Win32 Adapter V8" i've configured it like this:

IP: 192.168.0.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway:

DNS1:
DNS2:

Started MAC and a new location was recognized. By DHCP, Mac was configured like this:

IP: 192.168.0.94
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS:

I've opened a console and i can ping my Real Pc. (192.168.1.214)
I can't ping any other pc under my network.
I get conection timed out, no servers could be reached when i make a "host google.com"

i don't have internet on MAc and i don't have access to the network. both thing are really needed for me.

Does anyone knows what am i doing wrong?

Is you whole network using dhcp?

You could try not to share the internet connection, but bridge it.

Try to set OSX manually,
set OSX as follows:
ip: 192.168.0.2 (not that it really should matter)
mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

dns: 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.4

and also check the connection type: try different settings like 10 Mbit half duplex etc.

good luck,

Cat_7

I have the exact same problem. OSX isn't detecting the network card. Investigating now.
