Title: Cacko Usb Networking
Post by: gorgor_bay on February 23, 2007, 07:57:47 am

Hi,

I'm looking for a good tutorial to set up networking over usb using Cacko 1.23 on a SL-C3200 and a Ubuntu 6.10 laptop, I'm looking for some tutorial so I was wondering if anyone could point me to some model specific tutorial.

Thanks in advance.

there is nothing model specific about it. it is just generic tcp/ip networking setup...

Then would you please point me to a good working tutorial because I've tried a whole bunch and none of them worked...
And with Ubuntu Edgy there is network-manager that is quite particular...

briefly, the zaurus can be set to either usb mass storage or ip-over-usb; with the latter than Z gets the IP address 192.168.129.201

set the desktop machine to 192.168.129.1 and you should be able to ping the zaurus and ssh into it; the interface on the PC should be "usb0", so just (as root), "ifconfig usb0 192.168.129.1 netmask 255.255.255.0".

might want to set a default route on the zaurus with "route add default gw 192.168.129.1" so your PC can be a router for it, and then you can install packages directly from your zaurus with "ipkg update ; ipkg install packagename"


once you've proven that, the rest is tweaking!
