 This article is a kind contribution by our forum member **Neko68k**. Thank you for shedding light on this rather grey area !
-This article will cover configuring your X68000 for internet access using either a null-modem cable or an ethernet card. Neptune-X and Nereid should both work. You will first need to download the required software listed below. In addition to these you may also want to install [[http://nfggames.com/X68000/Mirrors/x68pub/x68tools/HUMAN/TwentyOne/tw136c14.lzh|TwentyOne]] (long file name support) if you haven't already.

+  *Unlzh PPPXR5.lzh
-  *put PPP.SYS in \SYS
+  *Put the contents of this LZH into the same directory.
-  *put PPP.X KILL.X and PPPX.BAT in \BIN
+  *Be sure to modify the first line of PPPX.BAT to point to that directory.
+  *Add 'inetdconf +dns 8.8.8.8' to the end of PPPX.BAT. This is Google DNS.
-If you install PPP.X anywhere else, be sure to modify the first line of PPPX.BAT to point to that directory.
+  *Change 'inetd' to 'xip -t -1'. This is faster than inetd and allows auto-trap assignment to prevent conflicts.
-I found it helpful to add the following line to the end of PPPX.BAT:
-<code>inetdconf +dns 8.8.8.8</code>
-You have to do this anyway so might as well just make it happen. This is to point at your dns server, I used Google DNS in this example.
-While you're at it, change:
-<code>inetd</code>
-to
-<code>xip -t -1</code>
-This utilizes the faster Xip inetd and allows internet to work in Ko-Windows by using auto trap assignment.
   *unlzh TMSIO031.LZH and put TMSIO.X in \BIN

+I followed the steps [[https://hackaday.io/project/20353-the-retroserver-networking-for-old-computers/log/54966-dial-up-and-ppp-server-in-modern-linux|here]] to set up a PPP server using Debian Stretch. Do not put 'local' in the file '/etc/ppp/options.ttyUSB0' and also add 'noproxyarp' to that file. I also used 38400 since this is the max for a non-overclocked SCC. In addition I changed ttyUSB0 to ttyS0 in the necessary places since that's how my serial port exists.
   *On your x68k run PPPX.BAT.

 Thanks to GIMONS for pointing me in the right direction.
-XM6G Specifics:
+=== General ===
-   *Use OpenVPN TAP driver.
-   *Install it and rename the interface to something reasonable, I use 'tap-bridge', in your Windows network interface options.
+Add your ethernet driver to 'config.sys'. For example 'DEVICE=\SYS\ETHERL12.SYS -t1' then reboot.
-   *Select the tap interface and your LAN interface, right click and select 'bridge connections'.
-   *In XM6G put your TAP interface name in the Nererid tab.
-   *Close and re-open XM6G.
 I recommend creating a BAT file with the following commands:
 <code>
 xip -t -1
-ifconfig ip0 up
+ifconfig lp0 up
-ifconfig en0 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
+ifconfig en0 x68k netmask 255.255.255.0 up
-inetdconf +dns 192.168.0.1 +domain x68k +router 192.168.0.1
+inetdconf +dns 8.8.8.8 +domain x68k +router 192.168.0.1
 </code>
-Run your BAT file.
+In the above snippet '+router' should be _your_ actual router.
+Run your BAT file and test with 'ping'.
+=== XM6G Specifics ===
+   *Use OpenVPN TAP driver.
+   *Install it and rename the interface to something reasonable in your Windows network interface options.  I use 'tap-bridge'.
+   *You _must_ set a static IP to the TAP device before bridging. This IP should be in your local subnet and will be the IP address for the x68k. It should be specified in /etc/hosts as described above. (ex. 10.0.0.x, 162.168.0.x). The default router should be _your_ router (ex. 10.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1).
+   *Select the TAP interface and your LAN interface, right click and select 'bridge connections'.
+   *In XM6G put your TAP interface name in the Nereid tab.
+   *Close and re-open XM6G.
+   *Now follow the General instructions above if you haven't already.
