Firewall-settings For Os X Internetsharing Via Usb, can't browse WWW with Z over USB/TCP-IP Options

[elwood151]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect my Zaurus SL5500 (Sharp ROM 3.13 + Cacko Kernel patch) to the WWW and for the first step I want to use the USB/TCP-IP connection.

My Powerbook is connected via WLAN to our DSL router, I have internet sharing enabled on the PB and the Z can ping IP-numbers and urls like www.avm.de successfully.

However, the Z can only load a web page in Opera, if I disable the firewall on the PowerBook (OS 10.3.9).
I don't want to disable it completely - does anybody know how I have to configure the firewall for getting Opera on the Z working?

Best regards

Martin

Hi,
I'm trying this too, but haven't gotten as far.
I installed the USB ethernet driver, gave my Z and my mac manual IPs (192.168.129.xxx). I can ssh back and forth between the two, but the Z can't find the internet (ping attempts give: address unreachable). I turned on internet sharing (of regular ethernet, to usb ethernet adapter) and my firewall is allowing port 80.
I've been hunting around and I think I might need to turn on ip forwarding on the z. (I found a page describing setting up a pppd on the usb and setting up a NAT using the iptables command which appearantly my Z doesn't have yet.)

The Z has OpenZaurus (really minimal, the person i bought it from flashed it) and the mac has 10.3 and is connected to a DSL modem.

Hi qwerty,

I never tried OpenZaurus yet, so I'm not sure if it works the same way as the SharpROM concerning networking...

Try the following:

If the Zaurus and the Mac are connected and are able to ping each other,
open a terminal on the Z and type:

sudo route add -host 192.168.129.1 usbd0

and

sudo route add default gw 192.168.129.1

Then you should be able to ping a server on the web from the Z
(ping www.google.com ...)

Please try and give me feedback, if you were successful, and then we'll attack further steps. (I have some urgent work to do at the moment and for some weeks did not try to get further with my Z, so my memories what I tried and what helped for whatt aren't really "fresh" ;-( )

Best regards,

Martin

sudo route add -host 192.168.129.1 usbd0

and

sudo route add default gw 192.168.129.1

It should be su instead sudo.

The nameerver to be added in /etc/resolv.conf should be your ISP's name server.

Happy Surfing!

thanks. I figured out su, although i'm running in root right now anyways (eep!).

How do I find my ISP's name server? DHCP isn't showing me a dns address in my mac's control panel.

sudo route add -host 192.168.129.1 usbd0

and

sudo route add default gw 192.168.129.1

It should be su instead sudo.
