</p>
|

|
<p>A (heavyweight) workaround for the WiFi issue.</p>
|

|
|

</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Installing a virtualization solution like the (free) VMware
|
||||||
|
Workstation Player provides a virtual ethernet card. Then installing
|
||||||
|
WinPcap inside the virtual machine allows access to the internet via
|
||||||
|
WiFi from AppleWin.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>VMware allows you to configure the virtual ethernet card in two ways:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Bridged, this means that the virtual Uthernet card becomes visible
|
||||||
|
with its MAC address in the WiFi net and that an Apple II DHCP client
|
||||||
|
gets its address from the usual DHCP server (typically a WAN router).
|
||||||
|
<li>NAT, this means that the virtual Uthernet card is part of a virtual
|
||||||
|
network with three participants:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>A virtual Ethernet card added by VMware to the "outside" (aka host) Windows.
|
||||||
|
<li>The virtual Ethernet card used by the "inside" (aka guest) Windows.
|
||||||
|
<li>The virtual Uthernet card.
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<br>
|
||||||
|
That virtual network has its own IP address range and has its own DHCP
|
||||||
|
server (being part of VMware). An Apple II DHCP client gets its
|
||||||
|
address from that DHCP server.
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Another positive aspect of that "emulation inside vitualization"
|
||||||
|
approach is that the "inside" (aka guest) Windows always has just one
|
||||||
|
single network interface: that virtual ethernet card mentioned above.
|
||||||
|
And that interface has always the same name (even when switching
|
||||||
|
between Bridged and NAT) so one never has to fiddle with network
|
||||||
|
setting of the emulators using WinPcap.</p>
