Title: No Usb Network Tab In Network Cacko 1.22
Post by: sbbloom69 on January 21, 2005, 12:57:20 pm

Hi,
I just got my C700 back from Dynamism / Japan (3rd trip back).  It had a flaky RAM/ROM from the get-go (March 2003).  It now works great.

I installed Cack0 1.22 Monday.  I love it.  Since I'm forced to use MS Office / Outlook, I really needed the Sharp PIMs to work, and sync with Outlook.  This all works great.  You guys did a great job on fixing the Japanese to English tabs, etc.

So, my Sync works, the shortcut to \\192.168.129.201\home works great on the W2K side.

I want to be able to get to the net via USB / W2K box.  All the How-To's talk about configuring the "USB-TCP/IP" as a LAN connection on the Z side.

I have no USB-LAN choice on the Cacko 1.22 Network screen.  I have Wifi, LAN Card, Bluetooth, but no USB-LAN.

Like I said before, the USB connection is up and running, Sync and file access works great.  

Should I have the "USB-LAN" as a choice on the Network Configuration screen where "Wifi Lan, and PAN-Device, and LAN currently are listed? Is it something I have to add so that the choice pops up on the screen?  

I'd prefer not  to make the connection mannually from the console, but I could if I had to.  On my search for an answer, all the how-tos refer to the USB-LAN config screen.

They are talking about the "PC Link" app in the Settings tab.  Run the PC Link app it should start to make sense.

I think you misunderstood my post, or maybe not.  Instead of saying what I think I don't have, here is what I want.  I want browser access to the web via the USB link through my desktop PC.

I use to be able to connect to the Web via my desktop PC (WIN2K) via the USB sync cable.  I had to set something up for the browser to "see" the web and connect.  I thought it was via the "networks" applet (not the PC link / SAMBA applet).  My syncing and card access from the PC to the zaurus work fine via the USB/SAMBA/PClink connection.  Just no browser.

I do have a second port in my office (we are forced to use static IP addresses) that I use to use with a Socket cabled ethernet adapter.  I guess I'll just have to go back to that.  I was trying to save wear and tear on the CF port.
