Title: Ubuntu And 3.5.3
Post by: Sethmahoney on April 13, 2005, 10:58:32 pm

I'm running Ubuntu linux on my box (its Debian based, if that helps) and OZ 3.5.3 (with Opie) on the 5600 and I'm having issues starting a network connection.  I followed the directions here:

http://www.openzaurus.org/web/index.php?op...id=29&Itemid=44 (http://www.openzaurus.org/web/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=44)

But now when I try to ping the Z I get

 ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

Any ideas?

You proably dont have the routes setup properly..
type "route" and paste the output

I use debian and here is my setup.. I use watapon but I dont use the docking cradle, all of this was setup back when I was running OZ
/etc/network/interfaces

Code: [Select]

iface usb0 inet static
        address 192.168.129.127
        pointopoint 192.168.129.201
        netmask 255.255.255.128

and a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/50zaurus

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
 case $IFACE in
  usb0)
   echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
   iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
   iptables -t filter -P FORWARD DROP
   iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -s $IF_POINTOPOINT/$IF_NETMASK -j   ACCEPT
   iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -d $IF_POINTOPOINT/$IF_NETMASK -j   ACCEPT
   iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
   iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT

Assuming you used the values on the web page you mentioned, I think you need to add routes for the subnet (192.168.129.0).  If you use a firewall, there could also be problem there.  I use guarddog to manage my firewall, and I remember having to configure it to permit ping traffic from and to the Z's subnet (192.168.129.0 for me).  If you're using regular Ubuntu (i.e. not Kubuntu), I'm not sure what the GUI program is to configure firewall, and my kung-fu isn't strong enough to recommend changes to ip[chains|tables].

FWIW, I use /etc/network/interfaces to add and remove routes, and (with OZ) it works for me w/o needing to install the /etc/network/ifup.d script that Dreadlocks listed below.  IIRC, that script was originally on the docs.zaurus.com site, which was run by Sharp.  I'm not sure if its specific to Sharp ROM's. . .  All I generally need to do is the following:

1) modprobe usbnet
2) plug in the Z
3) ifup usb0

I'll post my /etc/network/interfaces tonight when I get home.

I'd check your firewall settings.

So I've got pinging working.  Now I just need to get Multisync to do its job.  It gets as far as trying to connect to the second client (the Z), but never actually connects.  Any ideas?
