Connect Zaurus To Network/www Over Usb?, Can't connect zaurus 5500 to network Options

[elwood151]

Hi,

I'm trying to access the other computers in my local network with my Zaurus.

Zaurus 5500G
Sharp ROM 3.13
Cacko Kernel Patch
IP 192.168.129.201

connected over USB cradle to
PowerBook G4
OS 10.3.4
USB driver 0.2.8
USB-IP 192.168.129.1

The powerBook is connected via Airport to the WLAN/DSL-Router
IP 192.168.2.1

I can mount the Zaurus as SMB-Volume on the PowerBook, I can ping Zaurus/PowerBook,
but I can't ping the WLAN router or any other PC in the network 192.168.2.x with the Zaurus.

I tried the following on the Zaurus:

sudo route add -host 192.168.129.1 usbd0
sudo route add default gw 192.168.129.1



The routing table on the zaurus ("route") looks as follows:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.129.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 usbd0
192.168.129.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 usbd0
default 192.168.129.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 usbd0



Can anybody tell me what I've done wrong?
Do I have to activate anything on the PowerBook to provide the Zaurus access to the local network and also to Internet?

Unfortunately, I'm not a linux geek, I found the "route" commands on the net and tried them, but was not lucky yet..

Best regards

Martin

if you're using a DNS server for your mac/network you should add this in your /etc/resolv.conf file on zaurus.

Hi Ovi,

I'm not using a DNS server in my network or at least I don't know that I do. :-)

The DSL router connects to the internet, is the base station for the WLAN and the PC is connected to it via ethernet.
That's all, and I did not configure any DNS server in the router myself.

Best regards

Martin

I had the same complaint... until I realized that it was because I had not enabled internet sharing on the mac! I worked alright, right until the zaurus went to sleep... and since then, I've never had it work again.
