Greetings.
I've been trying for some time to get networking running properly in Basilisk II. My host system is a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 and my guest system is a Quadra ROM running 7.5.3. I am configured to use slirp networking, and I have tried both manual and DHCP network configuration.
I'm pretty good with networking in general, but it seems like the guest OS just isn't getting anywhere (slirp networking not functional?).
Any help would be most appreciated

Yep. Actually, it was already set that way when I opened the NSS.Cat_7 wrote: Did you use the network software selector to select open transport networking?
Yes; as I said, I tried both manual configuration and configuration over DHCP.And set the TCP / IP control panel to connect through Ethernet and configure through DHCP?
If only it were so simple...

Did you actually try to access the internet with, for instance, a web browser? If TCP/IP is set to load only when needed (can be changed in Options in TCP/IP Advanced Mode) and using DHCP, Open Transport may not be activated (and thus no IP-address etc. will be obtained) unless an application asks for a connection.
If setting TCP/IP control panel to Ethernet and DHCP does not work, you can enter the needed values for slirp networking manually:
IP address: 10.0.2.15
Subnet Msk: 255.255.255.0
Router Address: 10.0.2.2
Name Server Addres: 10.0.2.3
(Using classic networking in 7.5.3, the same values will work when entered in MacTCP.)

Hmm, no, I didn't, actually; I saw that DHCP wasn't obtaining an IP address, and when I tried the manual configuration I saw that I couldn't ping it.Ronald P.

...Well, I'll be darned. It worked. I guess I'm so used to our always-on connections I never even considered the possibility that it wouldn't try to get an IP address immediately
Um...how do you actually set values in MacTCP? I've tried poking at it some, but it's extremely different from modern network settings, and I can't seem to figure out how to actually get it to do anything sensible...(Using classic networking in 7.5.3, the same values will work when entered in MacTCP.)
But that's mostly for my curiosity; the Basilisk II OpenTransport networking is now working :-D
Thank you very much.

Configuring MacTCP for slirp networking in BasiliskII:danaris wrote:Um...how do you actually set values in MacTCP? I've tried poking at it some, but it's extremely different from modern network settings, and I can't seem to figure out how to actually get it to do anything sensible...
In MacTCP control panel, highlight the Ethernet icon
Then click "MORE..."
Obtain address "Manually"
Gateway Address: 10.0.2.2
Your IP address: 10.0.2.15
Set Subnet Mask with the slider to: 255.255.255.0
For the Domain name Server Information:
First row: A dot "." in the left field and 10.0.2.3 in the right field
Second row: Just a dot "." in the left field.
It should look like this:
Code: Select all
. 10.0.2.3
.
You can ignore other settings, the defaults will be OK.
Usually the Mac needs to be restarted after configuring MacTCP in order to make things work.
