Hi.

I just installed ReactOS-0.4.8-RC.iso in AQEMU 0.9.2. All is fine except there's no internet. Is there a way to get it working? Attached is an image of my network settings that work fine for Debian, Solus, Windows 7, etc. in AQEMU.

Thanks.

@linustalman:-

I take it you are aware that ReactOS has been in 'alpha' stage since the mid-1990s, yes? I've heard about this problem from several other folks, and it appears to be, shall we say, 'on-going...'

I don't think there is an actual 'solution' at this point in time. From what I can understand of it, there's a fundamental flaw in the network address translation coding...the 'DHCP' stuff, apparently.

You might like to take a look at ClassicOS. I've been a sometime member of the XP Forums for a few years (trying to convince folks to switch away from the darn thing!), and one of their members made an announcement last year that a small start-up company that he and a few friends had begun was working on a 'development' of ReactOS, building on the same source code.

I've no idea how far they've progressed with it (if at all), but they (did) have a FaceBook page:-

Perhaps worth a look? You may be interested in the XP Forum thread on the subject, too:-

I've had ReactOS internet working in Virtualbox, however the wine internet explorer leaves a lot to be desired. I haven't tryed Firefox yet.

ReactOS is still pretty rough around the edges, but I enjoy messing with it. I know development has picked up drastically since I first downloaded it.

Who knows " not as big as the Hurd...."

First you have to have a supported nic card.

Then you'll have to configure it. Not sure what default nic card you have but you can change it if it's not a supported on.

Also in qemu it uses a virtual router like other vm's do if you set it to nat. Sometimes it is easier to use bridged. Those names may change in qemu.

In BeOS I had to create two nics and then use the second one.

Anyway start by changing the default nic to a supported one.

I changed my network settings to this [image attached] and the internet works fine.

Hi Mike. ClassicOS sounds interesting.

I'm using a TP-Link wifi dongle - it's not listed but the internet now works in ReactOS - see my earlier post.

@jefro, linustalman:-

Huh. I'd forgotten about the 'nic' stuff. I don't do 'virtual' very often; can't remember the last time I did run VirtualBox, TBH.....

Sounds as though the ReactOS team have got the NAT stuff sorted out, anyway. It was a fair while ago when I last looked at it; must have been easily 18 months or more, if not longer.


Mike.

We (me too) all have to remember that it has nothing to do with the client OS or the host hardware. It has to do with the virtual hardware the VM presents to the client in most cases. A VM is a software presentation of a physical machine.



Thanks for the update and solution and the good screenshots marked.
