[Pearpc-users] still networking problems

[SubWorx <hip...@gm...>]

hi guys

whatever i tried, i still can't get networking to work

under winxp pro i tried ppc cvs from 13.07. and the altivec branch from
20.07.
the openvpn 2.0 beta 7 tap driver is installed and configured to fit into my
local network (10.50.88.18)

with the 3com driver, i get tons of debug output, first things about "the
packet has size x. but it didn't pass the filter"
and later lots of lines saying it was sent
the xp networking monitor says 3 bytes received (during ppc boot-up), 0
sent, and this doesn't change at all
tried setting the ip manually in osx 10.3.4, including hostmask, router
adress, and everything else, no luck
all i can ping is the osx box itself (10.50.88.30) but that's about it

with the rtl driver, i get no debug output at all, no matter what
pinging the system itself works
when i try to ping the tun adapter, the "sent packets" go up slowly, but
received doesn't change again
after some time osx says host down and that's about it

i didn't, as was said in most docs, enable ICS on my ethernet card, since
that would completely break the network (windoze automatically sets the ip
to 192.168.0.1 then...)
instead, i have a linux router running on 10.50.88.1, which works fine with
anything, even through vmware

any ideas?
thanks in advance

greets, matt
