Title: How to dialup from Z through a laptop
Post by: suruaZ on September 22, 2004, 12:50:16 am

Hi All.

I have notebook with built-in modem running Windows98SE and Zaurus 5500.
Is there a way to connect internet through the notebook's modem from Zaurus?

Thanks in advance,
suruaZ

Can you share your solution?

• Install Linux (make sure your modem is supported)
• Setup pppd with on-demand activated
• Activate ip forwarding
• Access a site from the Zaurus

Ok, that's not a Windoze solution, but it works pretty well. I have a whole network with such a dial-out gateway to the Internet. It just dial on-demand the internet. From the client boxes, only need to setup the default gateway as this box, that's it, that's all.

Oh God! Too complicated guess

My way is simply forward all traffic from com4 (IR port on my computer) to com3 (modem port on my computer) with help of PassThru.
