I got a serial cable and here is what I had to do to get it to work the way I wanted it to (almost). After many hours of searching through threads. I have tested this on win2k, XP and nt4(sp6). I have a sl5500 with 3.10 ROM.

1. SYNC with Qt Desktop (win2k and nt4(sp6)) I don't use Intellisync and did not try it.

  • This just works but make sure you select serial from the install menu in windows and change the sync option on the Z.
  • If you already have USB sync installed on your PC you have to reinstall with the serial option.
  • MAKE SURE YOU RUN C:\Program Files\Sharp Zaurus 2\drivers\SLZ1Uninstall.exe FIRST.
  • See Air Cable Serial Setup for a another (Better) way to Sync.

NOTE: sync will not work if you are running PPP and PPP will hang if you try to start it with the sync option on the Z set to serial.


2. PPP (need this for VNC and Samba)

On the Z:

  • First I had to fix /etc/sync/serialctl (this I found in several posts)
  • Change "$IPS" to "$IP:" on the 'pppd connect' line (see below). 
 exec /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/scripts/winclient.chat' $IP: -detach
  • Then copy /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 to /etc/ppp/options
  • Next from the Terminal run: 
 su -c "init 3"
  • On Windows: I Used The !DevHowTos. The only changes are:
a. Because of the problem in serialctl you have to specify an ip adderss I used 192.168.130.102
b. In win2k and XP I had to turn on file and print sharing (to get Samba to run)

NOTES: Win NT4 does not disconnect properly from the Z run /etc/ppp/ppp-off on the Z to disconnect also

If you turn off the Z on win 2k and XP before you disconnect run ppp-off

Now VNC should work? IP address of the Z is 192.168.130.101

3. Samba Samba only starts when the Z is in the cradle to change this

1) Rename /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba to /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba.bak
2) Add the following lines to the end of /etc/inetd.conf 
      netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/smbd
      netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nmbd

In /usr/lib/samba/smb.conf comment out the line "Interfaces = " in the [[global] Section. Also the line "bind interfaces only = yes" if it is there. 

 #       interfaces =
 #	  bind interfaces only = yes

This will start samba for all devices.
