[Pearpc-users] Problem sharing network connection in windows: TAP-WIN32 driver

[Mike S. N. <mik...@sy...>]

I used the following instructions and installed the TAP-WIN32 driver BUT =
when I get to the instruction line below...

"Enable Connection sharing on your primary LAN connection and then
open your PearPC config file (Default ppccfg.pearpc) and see that you =
have the following line..."


...when I try to enable internet connection sharing I get an error =
stating that 192.168.0.1 is being used (most likely by my router). The =
exact error is:

"Internet Connection sharing cannot be enabled due to an IP address =
conflict on the network. ICS requires the host be configured to use =
192.168.0.1. Please ensure that no other client on the network is =
configured to us 192.168.0.1"


Am I choosing the correct option in windows to "Enable Connection =
sharing"?... I go to the Advanced tab of the properties of my main LAN =
connection and there I find in the "Internet Connection Sharing " =
section: "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's =
internet connection". Is this not the correct option? If not, WHERE *do* =
I "Enable Connection sharing"? How can I get this to work with my router =
using 192.168.0.1?

Thx!

Download OpenVPN Installer v2.0 =
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/openvpn/openvpn-2.0_beta2-install.exe
and run it, uncheck all component boxes EXCEPT for TAP-WIN32 driver
When OpenVPN has finished , you should see a new lan connection =
appearing in your network connections
now open the properties of your new TAP-WIN32 connection and now you =
need to enter.=20

IP adress : 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0=20
Default Gateway : should be the adress of your gateway
DNS : 192.168.0.1

Enable Connection sharing on your primary LAN connection and then
open your pearpc config file (Default ppccfg.pearpc) and see that you =
have the following line

pci_rtl8139 =3D 1
pci_rtl8139_mac =3D "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

In OSX go to network settings and select Using DHCP and everything =
should work.
