Sorry but i won't post to the USA since I don't want to risk it getting broke for the buyer (it's happened before).

Shorewall for zaurus.  I use it at home to secure my wifi along with ipsec.  

http://cmisip.home.insightbb.com/index.htm
Hi,

Having trouble getting Shorewall running on the Z (Cacko 1.21a, C860). I've followed the instructions at the Shorewall link provided but when I try to start it up I get a number of messages, the first being -

iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables table 'nat': Permission denied (you must be root)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.


And several of the same but for tables 'mangle' and 'filter'.

I have su'ed to root before starting the shorewall script. Anyone have any ideas?

Security and Networking / Remote X sessions

I just tested with Cygwin/X (Like Exceed, but free) and it works just fine.

E.g.

Install Cygwin/X
Open Cygwin/X xterm
type:
xhost zaurus
ssh -l root zaurus
export DISPLAY=windowsmachine:0
xterm


Thanks, got it working!

Security and Networking / Remote X sessions
« on: May 29, 2004, 10:50:46 am »
Hi,

Is there a way to get to use the Z as a remote X session server? I\'ve got X/Qt on my Z (though it\'s problematic), but what would be good is if I can use something like eXceed on my desktop PC and have the Z serve up X applications. I know an option is VNC, but that\'s limited to displaying the Z\'s display and is quite slow.

Anyone help?

Security and Networking / Wifi peer to peer with WinXP
« on: April 09, 2004, 08:17:46 am »
Hi all,

Just to say that since I had problems with getting my USB ZyDAS chipset Wifi dongle to work with linux, I decided to revert back to trying to get my peer2peer network with WinXP instead as the thread title suggests.

My workaround the hardware and network bridge problem was to install proxy server software on my WinXP machine. By telling the Z to use proxy servers for http, I can at least browse the web from my Z wirelessly. This solution may help anyone else who faces a similar problem.  

As for anything concerning DHCP, etc, I still used static IPs at the end of the day to get this to work.

I\'ve just realised, it\'s probably not best to even continue this thread now since it\'s not really anything to do with the Z anymore and the topic title isn\'t even accurate anymore since I\'m not using WinXP.... But if anyone likes to PM me to help me out, that would be great!

Security and Networking / Wifi peer to peer with WinXP

Okay, made some progress now.

I\'ve built the prism2_usb.o module and that reside in my /lib/modules/2.4.22-28mdk/usb and I\'ve also rebuilt my usbcore.o as per instructions from the Zydas tar at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...?group_id=94356

However, it\'s not gone smoothly since when I built the prism2_usb.o, it wouldn\'t initially load properly. The system insisted on loading the  acx100_pci.o module, which I can only assume it\'s wrong since it\'s not a PCI device, and I opened up the USB dongle itself and clearly stamped on it is a chip with \"ZyDAS ZD1201\".

After blacklisting the acx100 module, when it tried to load the prism2_usb module, it came up with a number of errors of unresolved symbols. After banging my head on the wall a few times, started all over again (reinstalling Mandrake source and kernel) and replaced usbcore.o. Now prism2_usb.o was still in the /lib/modules/..., and then magically when I plugged the USB dongle in, /var/log/messages shows prism2_usb.o being loaded with no problems! To verify, lsmod shows -

HOWEVER! As I follow the instructions at stage 3 where you set the port type using \"wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=p2CnfPortType=0\", I get an error on return -

wlanctl-ng: No such device

Now, I assume it\'s probably talking about wlan0 since an \'ifconfig\' doesn\'t even show wlan0. Now if anyone can help me take further steps to get a wlan0 up now, I\'d be most greatful.

Security and Networking / Wifi peer to peer with WinXP

Hi ced,

Been trying to compile the module again though I\'m having a bit of trouble. Downloaded the code, then had to manually apply the patch to usb.c and hub.c as it states (doesn\'t help when the code is in a .pdf file!), though I\'m unsure of whether I\'ve performed a manual patch properly.

How do I then proceed to use the provided makefile? When I try \'make\', it says -

make: *** No rule to make target `usb.o\', needed by `usbcore\'.  Stop.


Is there a better way to patch the files?

Synfin0,

Doh... it\'s a ZD1201, not a ZD1202 as I previously said. Currently when I plug it in, it just stops my USB mouse from working!

Linux Issues / connecting 5600 to internet via usb
« on: April 06, 2004, 11:36:18 am »
Okay, got it working now.

I made a stupid mistake of adding the wrong gateway on the Z, putting in the address of PC1 instead of PC2\'s interface to the Z. Now to just get my Wifi card to work now...

Hi Synfin0,

My Wifi \'card\' on PC2 is a USB dongle, ZD1202 by ZyDAS. I would like to switch to linux on PC2 but I\'m one step behind on getting the Z running with linux even with the USB cable (I\'ve posted something on this thread http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...iewtopic&t=2910 ).

I\'ve noticed that WinXP has a \'route\' command that looks similar to linux\'s though I don\'t know enough to drive the command.

Linux Issues / connecting 5600 to internet via usb

Hi everyone,

Having a similar problem. After sorting out my WinXP setup, I\'m now having trouble with my linux setup. Okay, here\'s how things are -

PC1 - WinXP, connects to internet via ADSL (so this is the gateway), has ethernet card. Has IP address 192.168.0.1
PC2 - Mandrake 9.2 Linux, connects to PC1 via ethernet card via hub. Has IP for eth0 192.168.0.2 and usbd0 has 192.168.129.1
Zaurus - Connects to PC2 via USB, has IP 192.168.129.201

So the object of my game is to browse the web on the Z. Now I\'ve had this setup working with PC2 running WinXP, so hardware wise everything should be working.

I\'ve followed the instructions at http://www.ruault.com/Zaurus/ethernet-over...-usb-howto.html though I would guess that something has to change with the routing commands for my setup. I can ping PC2\'s 192.168.129.201 and 192.168.0.2 from the Z but not PC1 192.168.0.1, or anything on the web.

I\'m not hot on all this routing stuff, so help is much appreciated!
