First, if you build SheepShaver from sources yourself on a non big 
endian system (e.g. x86), ethernet support is not enabled by default, 
you will have to change kpx_cpu/sheepshaver_glue.cpp for that.

Second, I got the TUN virtual device working only at home through a DSL 
connection (ethernet modem).

Make sure you have the following prefs items set up correctly in 
~/.sheepshaver_prefs:
ether tun
etherconfig /path/to/tunconfig

Make sure you have sudo working for your user for the following 
binaries:
/sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/iptables

Or you will have to run SheepShaver as root or run tunconfig through a 
wrapper script that calls kdesu or whatever.

Next, in the MacOS side, set up a static IP in this form: 172.20.XX.2
Where XX is generally 40, you can check that with /sbin/ifconfig for 
the IP of the tun0 device. Use another IP in that network.
