Ok, this is Steady Foot. Got my new cable modem. Nice, but.... can't seem to get Baskilisk to see the internet.

Can anyone out there help me?

You IP address should be set to DHCP server, but the subnet mask and router address must be set manually. I haven't been able to figure out what they should be by using just a PC, so I hook up a Mac and connect to the 'net. You can copy the addresses from the Mac's configuration to Basilisk's TCP/IP settings.

Well I have a few much older macs but several really nice new pcs. Someday I will own a mac again.



Windows is set for DHCP and works fine. Using "winipcfg" I know what the IP info is but ..... I am not sure what numbers to plug in where.

Do you use both the ethernet and router in Baskilisk? or just the router?

I have been successful in getting the browser to send out the request in Baskilisk but it doesn't seem to want to recieve.

Hi Steady Foot,

I used Basilisk II also for quite a while and I think I can help you.
Its much simpler as you might think. Basilisk has a built in
"Router-Module" which is attaching itself to whatever internet connection
your host-windows is running. So MacOS itself it not caring at all. It just
uses the given connection - no matter what kind it is. It does not matter
if its a modem, a cable, airport... if you have access from windows you
have automatically also within the emulation!
But - I guess you never enabled the router-module?

Here is a screenshot:



Be sure to use this exact settings. So, all done so far.
Now be sure to set your TCP/IP control panel in MacOS to sensible
values. Theoretically any IP should work, but use this values which
work for sure. Please only change the "Name server addr.:" to a
nameserver of your own provider. This one in the screenshot will work
only for german T-Online. You can get that info with "winipcfg"
(DNS-Server)



Now internet should work from within the emulator exactly like it does
from windows.
If you still have problems disable any firewall software and check if
your MacOS installation is not broken.

Good luck,
PWC Hor

Wonderful!! Wonderful!! Wonderful!!

Great I will try that. Your clear presentation shows me my errors. I did three things wrong.

1) enabled ethernet in the GUI and the router.
2) Did not put any server ports the box. Left it blank.
3) TCP/IP: Did not give the Name server address any value.

Yes I can get the IP from "Winipcfg". I have done that before for other programs (games, )



More like the operator is broken.

Thanks Hor!!!

Thank you!! Hor.

I did it and it worked!!!

I am glad it worked 8)

Cya in the lands!

What kind of speed do you get with Basilisk?
I know it only emulates a 680x0 processor so you can't run any of the late, great cool stuff.

But how well does Clan Lord run under Basilisk. My understanding is that there are a number of people using it so the speed, etc must be acceptable.

Would it just be like running it say on a 68040 (like a Quadra 700)? Or is it faster/slower than that?

Huhu Konoko,

because I played recently getting Basilisk running again
(partly to help Steady Foot 8) I can tell you my
experience.

On my Athlon 800 with Win98 CL feels not to bad. Its
like the same speed I get on my iBook 500 on OSX.
(The reason why I still play on OS9 because there its
much better 8).

There is a little bit of more latency and the screen
refresh lags a little behind. Buts only 4 Frames/second
so thats hardly noticeable. I have seen Basilisk also on
some 1.7GHz P4 and it was not running faster... I guess
CPU speed is not really relevant because all the time
is spend redrawing the screen. (Its syncing to 60hz or
whatever you set.) If your CPU is faster then it just
has to wait until the Emulator draws the next frame.

So...if you have like 500 Mhz on your windows-box the
emulator is just fine. Definitly faster then the original
Macs with 68k. There is also a JIT (Just in time
compilation) version of Basilisk around. Its a little
bit more unstable but delivers MUCH better results on
slower computers. A friend of mine plays Clanlord with
it on a 166mhz!!! Pentium with it all the time.

Hope this helps, 8)
HWC Hor

Thanks Hor.
I've never tried it and I don't intend to, but I was kind of curious of the speed...
It sounds not too bad!

Im having problem after problem connecting Basilisk II to the internet

Problem 1
Can somebody direct me to a site where i can download a workable version of netscape (the link on the instruction site im using is broken)

Problem 2
What is Error -120 and how do I fix it? whatever it is its stopping me from installing free-PPP

How you go from there is still a blank to me, Please can somebody help me!?

Also can I just download the clanlord files while in Windoze and transfer them across? or should i get a browser and download them inside the emulator?

Ive got those problems solved but ive hit a new brick wall,
Basilisk II works, the clanlord application works but the interent inside Basilisk doesnt work.

when i try to connect through Free PPP my modem refuses to respond and I get an error message saying that PPP was expecting an OK from the modem but that it hasnt arrived maybe your modem is already busy (it isnt) or isnt ready

does anybody know how to solve this problem?

please send me a message or an email or reach me on ICQ

Hi Mjollnir,

even I have not the faintest idea what "Free PPP" is, I can perhaps
clarify some stuff.

You use a modem to go online?
And you try to use that modem within the emulated MacOS?

Bad idea. Basilisk was never intended to be used that way.

You go online in windows like you always do. Basilisk is just an application
like everyone else in windows. To use a webbrowser, you dont tell it
to dial in itself, too. It just uses the dialup connection that exists.

So... just setup networking within basilisk like I posted in this very
tread like a year ago. (Just use the DNS-Server of your own provider)

If you are online with windows, then basilisk will be automatically too.
And therefore also the applications withing basilisk like a browser
(I recommend icab to download the CL-updates and test connection) or
clanlord.

Hope this helps a bit,

HWC Hor

Im not sure how many people will have heard this rumour but I think its almost certainly true.

DT will soon stop supporting the 68k version of clanlord.

im fairly sure its true because it was in an email I recieved from Joe.

Does this spell the end for all the Mac emulator Clanlord users out there?

well im using the basilisk now for a year and it worked fine but as my gf got a new pc i set up basilisk on her pc as well and now there is an error msg when i try to start the cl character manager

"Sorry, there was a failure in the character manager with id -3213"

can someone help me plz
thx

Hi Crash,
Note sure what to do with that. That seems more like a formatting error. Basilisk can have some problems with different pc hard drive formats. I don't remember the particulars.
I've been running Basilisk II for years and its been work well with no problems.
You might want to try reinstalling CL.
Sorry I couldn't be anymore help.
