Is the syncing the problem, or networking?

You will find that the drivers are different if you are now running a 2.6 kernel.

Search this forum for linux.inf and install that file, then the Zaurus will be recognised as an ethernet gadget and you can get back to syncing.

iirc, there is a setting under the security tab on the settings page that asks you which program you're trying to sync with - I think this setting turns off the ftp server on port 4242.

Might be worth a look to make sure it's on the right setting,

I don't know how but now it works...

I went back to "default settings" in security menu and re-entered ip addresses...

maybe I messed un something before.....
