Title: Usb Connection To Windows (slc300 Oz 3.5.4.1 Gpe)
Post by: gherkin on October 04, 2006, 07:34:22 am

Hi,

yesterday I decided to install OZ on my SL-C3000. I decided to use GPE also.

Now I can't see my Zaurus as a storage device from my laptop (Windows XP) when I attach the Zaurus via USB.

I have tried all variations on the USB settings and nothing seems to work. The Zaurus is connected directly to my laptop and not via a hub.

I use my Zaurus to transfer files home from my work machine (Windows XP) and this is causing me a real headache !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help !!

Gherkin.

'fraid this is a known problem. Check this (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20517&pid=143038&st=15&#entry143038) and this (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19474&hl=) thread. No solution AFAIK.

You have a machine with the PXA270 processor there is/was an issue with rndis support in the g_ether driver. This means windows can't be used with it. There may be a patch. See my posts in this thread:

Grog, your issue is different, the PXA255 machines' g_ether module does work with Windows. I see the last post in this thread (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19474&st=45) may indicate that your routeing may be wrong.
