Title: Help Wanted: Internet With Zaurus Through Usb?
Post by: Sam Hell on January 10, 2005, 02:32:56 pm: Hi!

Because iÂ´ll probably never get my BT-Serial-Adapter to run on my
Zaurus, i decided to try it with the standard serial-to-usb cable shipped
with the zaurus.

Is it possibly to connect via this cable to my pc (WinXP) and into the internet???

If itÂ´s possibly, i need the full solution... iÂ´m a linux newbie, and didnÂ´t "played"
so much in the preferences of WinXP, too.

Thx for every hint,
Nico

I think you should post this in the windows related section of the forum, it's quite a specific question.

But first, you should try this faq : http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...%20%28Serial%29 (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=WinXP%20Over%20%28Serial%29)

I never tried it but i guess it will require your usb to be set as a serial device (see in the usb configuration tool on the Z)...

Good luck,
Alan.

You need to install the driver for the Z on windows, and configure them for tcp/ip over usb

The usb should be set as networking.

Post by: Sam Hell on January 14, 2005, 06:53:07 pm: I tried it first with pgaÂ´s link, but thatÂ´s
an impossible solution for me Â´cause i got no
router

AlanÂ´s link is only for setting up a connection between
Z and PC, but thatÂ´s not the problem for me. But i will post
that now in the Windows-Section as alan mentioned before.

gn8,

Post by: Sam Hell on January 16, 2005, 05:20:58 pm: ThingÂ´s to do to get Internet working through USB
(thx to damokles from z.portal.info):

Z:
- usbd0-ip: 192.168.129.201
- gateway: 192.168.129.1
- nameserver: i.e. 194.25.2.129 (t-online)

Win2k/XP:

- usb-ip: 192.168.129.1 (no gateway, no nameserver)

netmask in both cases 255.255.255.0

Now on WinXP install the Internet Connection Sharing for the Connection
that connects into the internet.
The IP-Adress of the USB/LAN-Connection maybe resetet to the Standard
of 192.168.0.1, simply set the usb-ip back to 192.168.129.1

Z (.201) => win/usb(.1) => win/lan => internet

ThatÂ´s it.

Have Fun,
Nico
