Hi
I am trying to set up internet sharing through usb. I have turned on sharing on the mac. Not sure if I need to run the network to the Zaurus first as I normally do or the Z will grab the internet connection. Do not seem to have any options for usb connection in network prefs -everytime i try and connect it goes straight to irda connection -even with dummy dev installed. Not really sure what to try next as all the how tos I have read refer to windows and generally say type in a few lines of code and it should work. Is it possible to reset the network prefs back to default as I think I may have messed them up. Thanks in advance for any help. Ps I have c860 with the sharp Rom and panther on the Mac-connects fine with network and usb. keef |

I am a SL-5600 user. I use the USB driver at http://www.lucid-cake.net/osx_zaurus_usb/index_en.html to establish Ethernet linkage. It presumed that Zaurus is inserting in the docking station which is connected to Mac's USB port.
After that, I try pinging individual machine, whereby Mac is assigned 192.168.129.1 and Zaurus 192.168.129.201. If the pinging is Ok. Please proceed to issue the following command with root access: route add default gw 192.168.129.1 Type "route" to check whether the route table. Activate your browser to surf the Internet. I hope the above will help. |

Hi
Thanks for the reply I can connect and ping the mac on 192.168.129.1 ok. However when I try the browser it says cannot find the device card for communication. The e-mail app does the same. I have tried installing dummy dev but the machine reads this as irda not a usb connection. keef |

Which Zaurus are you using and which OS is in use?
Have you checked the route table? |

Hi
I am using C860 with the original sharp rom. Linux Kernel 2.4 18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix ROM Version: !.10 JP I have Panther installed on the Mac. This is the readout from the console: bash-2.05$ su # route add default gw 192.168.129.1 # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 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 # keef |

I hope your C860 also has PC-Link application.
Try the following: Make sure that the Zaurus is in the docking station. Activate PC-link and check USB (IO-default) is selected, click OK to quit. Activate PC-link again, now select USB (TCP/IP advacned) option and click OK to quit. I hope the above might help. By the way, with the above instructions, you can mount your Zaurus on Mac's desktop using SMB. |

Hi
you should check also if you're using a DNS server for your mail. This should be added in /etc/resolv.conf on your zaurus. |

Thanks
I do have Pclink it works fine and mounts on the mac desktop no problem. I checked the file /etc/resolv.conf. says: Domain name searches will fail until you point this to a real DNS server. nameserver 127.0.0.1 Tried to edit this but text editor will not allow any changes? Shoud this not be entered somewhere in network prefs? keef |

Success!!!
I have managed to connect and send recieve email. I edited the file as Ovi suggested --thanks. (I have sharing enabled on the Mac) Still cannot connect with browser -get tcp connect error although I have entered the info into the Dummy Device pane? Does this involve editing another file? Is it possible to downloadOpera to run on C860? Thanks again keef |

i am still having problems with internet sharing. I have installed dummy dev but not sure I have configured it correctly. I have entered an ip (the one the Zaurus uses and said to automatically detect the DNS server names. I left the account information blank. It says it connects, but then it disconnect within 2 minutes or so and I cannot connect to the internet, or get email. How should this be configured (I have also tried to use my account info for my mac in the account info part, to no avail).
In the resolv.conf file, how do I know what to put there as well? Thank you. -Adam Frank |

hi
I found after much agonising that I did not need to put any information in the dummy dev preferences. Basically left everything blank except dns servers of my internet provider. entered these also into the resolv.conf file as: nameserver xxx.xx.xxx.xx nameserver xxx.xxx.xx (replace these xxs with your dns servernumbers.) keef |

asfrank16,
Have you followed my steps in checking and pining IPs of both machines, ie Zaurus and Mac via the USB docking station? Which Z is in use and ROM version? The USB driver assigned 192.168.129.1 and 192.168.129.201 to Mac's and Zaurus's USB port. Try at terminal from Mac "ifconfig > if.txt" and post the content of if.txt here. |
