Title: about network connection, help!
Post by: JohnBull on May 30, 2004, 04:35:41 am
the internal Email program doesn\'t eat my network connection.
I can connect my zaurus to my Linux host with a USB cable, and got IP connections.
I can run ssh/lynx/wget..... in a terminal now. But all of those idiot internal programs (NF browser/Email...) reports that they need a Internet connection!!
Shit! how can i solve it? Any body give me a hand please!

The usb network isn\'t seen as a network by the qtopia apps.

To get them to work you have 2 choices - tell Qtopia that the network is up by qcop message
or install dummydev - an ipk that fools the Z into thinking that you are connected.

P.S. if you had have spent a few minutes searching you would have found the answer without having to wait

I still can't use email with my zaurus connected to usb. I can ping, vnc, install from the feed, but Netfront and email reports the error: not connected.

if i use the  qcop QPE/Network "up()"  I can use NetFront but not email client.

I tryied to install dummydev but I don't know how it works. Once installed I have to configure something?
If I launch email/netfront, they ask for connecting, and i'm asked for a device to use, I select dummydev, but it appears a dialog with the string: Initializing, and that's all. Netfront/email hangs with that dialgo in front and I can do anything.

Thanks.
