Title: Netfront With Usb Networking?
Post by: papercrane on February 07, 2005, 02:06:01 pm

I used to use the USB connection as an internet connection on my 5500. This worked perfectly fine with everything. (Of course I switched to OZ a long time ago...)

I just got my C3000 and got the USB networking working just fine. I set up the route and DNS and I can ping yahoo and so on. However, if I try to use NetFront, it says I'm not connected. Once when I set up a fake IRDA connection (fake meaning I didn't actually have anything to connect to) and told it to connect with that it actually pulled the home page just fine, but then the connection failed and it stopped working. I know it can use the network through USB (it's Linux, how could it not?), but NetFront is so "helpful" (like MS Windows is helpful) that I can't make this work.

Anyone know how to:
1) Stop NetFront from "connecting" for me?
2) Set up a UDBd connection in the Network App?
3) Set up a new network type which either a) actually sets up usbd for you or b) is simply a dummy which says it's connected when it's not?

(BTW, about #3 I have tried a bit and every one of the other types I tried needed a card plugged in *except* for Irda. And, as I said, it searched for a device but didn't find one so that also didn't work. If we could possibly just put a dummy Network app plugin in there it would all work.)

A quick search of the forums using the words "Netfront AND USB" retreives a bunch or results among which are several options to your problem

Have a look at these posts

There are probably more, but that goes back 1 year

Thanks much, I thought I had searched, but I guess I used the wrong terms.

If you include more than one term then the search needs AND between them (otherwise it appears to search for that phrase).

Also make sure you are searching "All Forums", if you hit search from a post it defaults to only seaching the forum that post was in.
