Title: application wants to connect - already on the new via USB
Post by: darkeye on March 17, 2004, 07:04:05 pm

I have a strange problem. I am already connected to the internet via the USB cable, and have set up default route and DNS resolv properly. But when I start NetFront, it wants to \'connect\' still, and refuses to work. even though from the terminal I can ping or ssh to anywhere.

how could I let the Zaurus know that it is already connected?

Actually it\'s not that strange, NetFront and QtMail want QT to tell them that the network is up. Unfortunately Sharp decided that TCP/IP over USB doesn\'t count as a connection. As you have found ping, ssh etc already know that the conection is there. To tell NetFront that it si up us the following from a terminal

qcop QPE/Network \"up()\"

The globe (network) icon should now appear in the taskbar and netfront should work. To automate this search ZSI for dummydev.

Code: [Select]

# qcop QPE/Network "up()"

Null driver cannot connect

Aborted

From the \"#\" you\'re doing this as root - doesn\'t work as root, try as default user (\"zaurus\" I think).
