General Discussion / "DNS host is not found" error in Netfront?

« on: April 03, 2004, 07:09:27 pm »

Hi Evowan

I think (!) what I did was cancel / delete the network bridge on XP Home, and start fresh using the setup home network wizard - I let it assign all the ip addresses on windows. I then stage by stage changed the tcpip / dns  settings on the Zaurus to get them automatically, and suddenly netfront worked for me. Bear in mind I could always connect the zaurus to windows and ping - it was just netfront that wasn\'t working. I think I\'d got myself into a vicious circle because XP wasn\'t quite configured right, but I kept blaming the Zaurus. Starting from scratch on XP seems to be the way, and then let the Zaurus do its thing

Sorry I\'m hazy, but I tried so many different things over the 7 hours I was at it, and like a fool I didn\'t document anything!

Changed everything back to auto - tcpip, dns etc, and it works - wouldn\'t even connect to the card on those settings before, so I guess I must have changed something in XP.

I\'m writing this on the C750, so I can\'t be hallucinating!

I\'ve just installed a cf wifi card on the C750. Created a connection, fiddled with the tcpip addresses etc. The card connects in ad hoc mode to my desktop (windows xp). I\'ve run the small network wizard in XP - internet connection sharing is enabled, there\'s a bridge etc.

Everything seems hunky dory until I start the netfront browser - then the following error:

Content error
http://www.google.com
DNS host is not found

I realise I\'ve probably entered the wrong ip addresses somewhere in the zaurus wireless lan card services settings, but I feel as if I\'ve exhausted the possibilities! I\'ve tried leaving them as auto detect but then the card won\'t connect - at least with my settings the card connects a treat!

Help would be (to put it mildly) very gratefully accepted

Oh, by the way, Mark\'s suggestion did get me up and running - I currently use tkc editor and then run the progs in the command line - but an ide would be nice!

Hi Ashu

Thanks for that - that\'s the ide I tried, but I only installed the core module. I\'ll pop the ones you suggest in there and see what happens!

Hello all

New UK user of the C750 - very impressed.

However.. I\'m trying to learn the Python programming language - I\'ve downloaded what I think are the correct files from riverbank. Python runs from the command line but I can\'t get the ide to work - click, hourglass, throws me back to the applications screen - Help!?

I need to be able to write and run scripts - can\'t see how I can do that from the konsole - every instruction runs straight away.

Be gentle with me - I\'m new to all this!
