Usb Network - Connection Problem Options

[0laf]

Hello all,

at the moment I m trying to get USB networking configured for the Zaurus CL1000.
The Zaurus is running Angstrom x11-image 2007.12-r18.

Basically I tried to get it working by performing the steps which are described in the USB networking howto on the Angstrom wiki (http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/AngstromManual)...
Nevertheless its not working for me

I did following on the zaurus:

• modprobe g_ether
• ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.201 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
• route add -host 192.168.1.101 usb0
• then i had a look at the available network devices with ifconfig, interface "usb0" seemed to be fine

Next I continued with the configuration of the desktop computer (running debain etch 4.0 stable):

• loaded the modules cdc_ether and usbnet
• dmesg output:
  usb0: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00:08.1-2, CDC Ethernet Device, de:3a:e8:4a:93:2c
• lsusb output:
  Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0525:a4a2 Netchip Technology, Inc. Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget
• ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
• route add -host 192.168.1.201 usb0
• ifconfig output:
  
  usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr DE:3A:E8:4A:93:2C
  inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.255
  inet6 addr: fe80::dc3a:e8ff:fe4a:932c/64 Scope:Link

  TX packets:6 errors:288 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
  RX bytes:0 (0.0 b ) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b )

Well next I tried to test the connection with ping:
on the desktop: ping 192.168.1.101 -> ok, ping 192.168.1.201 -> not working
zaurus: ping 192.168.1.201 -> ok, ping 192.168.1.101 -> not working

Hm, obviously there is something wrong with my configuration

I m somewhat stuck, any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
