Ok folks,
Time to ask for help. I spent the first week with my "new" zaurus trying out different ROMs
Well, I've pretty much settled on the Cacko (at least till OZ has a pdf reader)
Problem is that I've been trying to sync over usb for the last week and a half, pouring over the forum and other sites, and I've stilled failed to get my Z to talk to my PC. All attempts seem to freeze my Z. (except one install of the sharp PCTools in which QTopia desktop just told me that the version on the Z and the PC didn't match. (Qtopia desktop was version 1.55, qtopia on the Z is version 1.50. I'd read that the 5500310U.zip WAS supposed to work and that maybe I had a partially uninstalled later version so I should uninstall completely, clean the registry and re-install. I did, and now Qtopia desktop just seems to freeze my Z)
Here are the particulars:
5000d - Cacko advanced Flash Rom update 3.10 (kernel 2.4.18)
30-0 configuration
Didn't like the recharge problem with the kernel update, so it's not installed.
1gb PNY sd card
(I've tried both the tcp/ip and the default io)
Tcp/IP settings:
Zaurus Manager:
hostname: zaurus
hostip: 192.168.129.201
PC drivers:
sl network adaptor enabled
sl usb controller showing
PC networking settings:
tcp/ip settings:
ipaddress: 192.168.129.200
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.129.201
dns server: blank ... didn't know what to put
encryption OFF
Zaurus PCLink:
tcp/ip
hostname: zaurus
usbip: 192.168.129.201
I can ping the zaurus from the PC with this setup, but trying the qtopia desktop freezes the Z. So does trying to use the sync software with Ko/Pi. Haven't tried intellisync as I don't use outlook. Don't know how to ping the PC from the Z.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong????
Any suggestions????
Thanks

I know that this is just a workaround, (and I wasn't that fond of Ka/Pi) but you could try Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi and just manually copy the PIM DB back and forth to your PC. you would probably have to install KDE Pim on your PC tho.

Well,
Thank you Technojunkie. . .
not exactly what I was hoping for in a response, but it does help to know at least one other person can't see what I'm doing wrong!
Yes, up till now I've been using manual file transfers. I was just hoping to get the syncing part working.

Hi Caunt,
Don't know if I'm late but...
I had the same issue and the only solution is to set the IP address for your PC to:
192.168.129.1
Instead of 192.168.129.200
For some reason, the zaurus sends all the commands to the IP address number "1" for any subnet you chose.
Regards,
Juan

Jaunr,
Thanks! I'll give that a try. So far nothing I've tried works, but I'll keep trying as long as ideas come my way.
I appreciate your taking the time to give me another hint!
