Yes I know that there are other similar topics here and there, I searched though the forums, but did not find a clear answer.
I have a linuxbox (ubuntu) at home, and configured it properly for USB network connection with my SL-C1000.
Now I have a WinXP at work, I want to connect with USB network too. I don't have admin rights but can have it for install.
Here are the data :
1) I am currently using KDEPIM (KA/PI KO/PI) etc... on cacko ROM but may switch to OZ 3.5.4.1 when available and working. So I sync at home through USB netw. with Pi/Sync without problems. I think I will continue to use KDEPIM with OZ since I like the apps very much.
2) I got C1000 USB drivers, there are "serial" and "network" dir in it. What is the "serial" directory for ? Is it possible, necessary and/or better to install both ?
3) Is it necessary to create a special net. route to Z ? I already have a network connection installed for work, and connot change it : I guess it is necessary to create another route . Am i right ? In this case, are the following parameters ok ?
route to 192.168.129.201 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 132.168.129.1
What is the interface to choose (the netwkork card is already used by my intranet connection) ? I guess this is a kind of virtual net through USB driver, but where to find it? how called etc... ?
I once tried to install network drivers but I could not connect to Z, I think because there was no route to it.
Did I say that Linux is quite simpler to use ?
