humbug
First apologies if everyone runs away in horror at what I'm trying to do.
My Win7Home is the 64-bit system on an Intel i5 cpu (2 cores, 4 concurrent threads, 2.5GHz) laptop and I keep it up to date with necessary software patches using Windows Update and Secunia PSI. My laptop accesses the internet using the Wireless network adptor connecting to my DSL router.
PearPC is a PowerPC emulator - I'm using version 0.4 which is said to be fine with Mac OSX 10.2. I got this all installed and working and am somewhat amazed that it does work. Of course, it is incomplete without being able to access the world outside of itself - shared drives and the internet.
There are some very plausibly comprehensive (to me, but I may be very naive) guides on PearPC.net explaining how to get networking going and they all involve using a single instance of OpenVPN TAP. None of the methods suggested there are working for me.
My most recent attempt involves bridging the Wireless adaptor and the TAP adaptor. From the Mac OSX side, I cannot ping anything on the Windows side, but interestingly when I open System Preferences on the Mac side and then examine the Network, it reflects some properties not set by me in Mac OSX, but seemingly detected via the bridge - it shows the ip-address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. It kind of seems like I'm not far off getting it working, but I'm missing some key step.
Ok, I confess to not having much understanding of networking and bridging.
Is there a kind soul willing to help me out to get this solved?
