I keep seeing posts about trying to sync with OZ, I know nothing about sync'ing as it's not something I've done for a long, long, long time.
I'd like to create a doc which lists the options and drawbacks of the various methods.
I wonder if those of you who do, or who have tried and failed to varying degrees could post to say what does & doesn't work. Please include - your PC OS, your OZ version (& settings in the security applet if applicable), connection method, the sync software (with an URL might be nice ;-)), what does & doesn't work in the sync process, etc.
Many thanks,
Simon

OK, this is how I do it to my windowsXP laptop via an ad-hoc wireless connection.
Haven't used the cradle for some time but this works under OZ3.5.1, OZ3.5.2, and OZ3.5.3
PC InfoCPU:Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz
Ethernet:RealTek RTL8139/810x
Wireless:Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100
OS: WindowsXP SP2
Mem:512MB
Zaurus InfoSL5500
Wireless:Senao/Origo 80211b WLAN Card
OS: OZ3.5.3 (Opie)
ConnectionPC ConfigurationIn "Wireless Network Connection Properties"
Select
Wireless Networks Tab
- Add a new connection
- Set SSID = zaurus
- Check box titled "Data Encryption (WEP enabled) and enter a key
- Check box titled "This is a computer-to0computer (ad hoc) network..."
Click OK to Apply
Select
General Tab
Highlight
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click
Properties button.
In the
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window
General Tab- Select Obtain an IP address automatically
- Select Obtain DNS server address automatically
(This is for my normal WLAN config when at home with the notebook PC)Alternate Configuration Tab- Select User configured
- Enter IP address: 192.168.129.1
- Enter Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Click OK on all windows to close.
Zaurus configurationUnder Settings Tab, select

ConfigureSet the following:
General Tab- Set Mode: Ad-hoc
- Set SSID: zaurus
Encryption Tab- Enable Encryption

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.129.1
Tap OK and close Network Configuration
ping and ssh connection is now possible to zaurus from PC using suitable software such as PuTTY
(Note: may need to restart network interfaces on the Z)SyncPC ConfigurationIntending to sync with Microsoft Outlook 2002 SP2
Install Intellisync 1.43E on the PC and configure to sync calendar / contacts / todo with Microsoft Outlook
Note: For Mail sync you would need to use QtMail from the Sharp ROM but this does work if installed.Now, if you try to Sync using the supplied programs then IntelliSync will complain with the following:
"Please change USB address on Zaurus to 192.168.130.201" and will modify it's config accordingly
This is because the wireless LAN connection is using 192.168.129.201 so to get around this copy a file in the directory
"C:\Program Files\Sharp\Intellisync for SL\QtDBTemp" called "
NetStat.dat" to "
OZ_NetStat.dat" and modify the line containing TermIP to read "
TermIP :192.168.129.201"
Now create a bat file called zSync.bat containing :
C:
cd "C:\Program Files\Sharp\Intellisync for SL\QtDBTemp"
copy OZ_NetStat.dat NetStat.dat
cd ..
SLNetDlg.exeCreate a desktop shortcut to the bat file and double click this to perform the sync. When the sync completes then the above complaint "Please change USB address on Zaurus to 192.168.130.201" will appear. Click OK and ignore.
Zaurus ConfigurationUnder Settings Tab select "Security"
select the Sync Tab
Set Accept sync from network to: 192.168.129.0/24
Select Sync Software to be "Qtopia 1.7"
Calendar Syncs with Outlook reliably
ToDo Syncs with Outlook reliably
Contacts Syncs with Outlook reliably
Mail was capable of syncing last time I tried with QtMail
Sorry if some of the information is a bit sketchy but I haven't touched the intellisync end for some time and can't remember where I got version 1.43E from.
