Sheepshaver alternative mac osx#

My system set-up: Mac OSX running SheepShaver VM Launcher Beta 4 (found in. Here is a guide to tell you (and the rest of cyberspace) exactly what I have done so far. I'm having a bit of trouble with this, Cat_7. I tried to enable ip forwarding in the tap device terminal window with 'sudo sysctl -w .forwarding=1' but it doesn't make the connection work.ĭoes anyone have any breakthrough insights? Or knows someone who. I'm guessing it's a routing problem, but that's where I'm stuck.

If you then start e.g., internet explorer in Mac OS, you see it communicating with the tap device, asking for dns information on the requested site etc, but nothing gets through. In the terminal window from which the tap device was started you can issue the command 'sudo tcpdump -ni tap0' and you will see the traffic that runs through the tap device. I used DNS entries from my hosts network connection.

On the Mac OS 8.5 side, start the TCP/IP control panel and choose connect through ethernet, manually, ip-address 172.19.3.15 (on the same subnet as the tap device), subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the tap device's ip-address as router. In another terminal window start the tap device immediately after starting SheepShaver with: 'sudo ifconfig tap0 172.19.3.10 netmask 255.255.255.0' (the ip-address can be any, I just used an unused address on my internal network) In terminal, cd into SheepShaver.app/Contents/MacOS and start SheepShaver as root with 'sudo. In SheepShaver preferences set network preference to 'tap0' instead of 'slirp' Here's what I did so far (in Mac OS 8.5, as 9.0.4 seems to crash if I change networking settings with the TCP/IP control panel): An obvious benefit would be more complete networking support than through the slirp connection. I've got some progress to report, but can't seem to get it fully running. I'm attempting to get tap device based networking running in SheepShaver in OSX. EDIT: a guide detailing the steps to take to get this to work is available here:
