Security and Networking / Help - Zaurus Gateway

« on: May 22, 2005, 03:27:01 pm »

did you change /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1?

Yes, it is set to 1.  Actually I've discovered my problem.  i had my iptables set up correctly, put in the nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf from my zaurus into my pc, set up my zaurus to be the default gw, but the one thing i didnt do was configure the dhcp server on my zaurus.  Therefore dhclient on my pc would rewrite my /etc/resolv.conf to have no nameservers every couple minutes.  I added /etc/dhcpd.conf to my zaurus, and now my internet works great.  i'm actualy posting from my pc right now.  :-)  thanks for the reply meanie (I have a habbit of posting questions right before i figure it out :-/), and if anyone else is having trouble with this, I'd be happy to post all of the steps.

ive been trying to get my pc to connect to the internet through my zaurus.  My zaurus is connected to the internet via ppp0, and is connected to my pc via usbd0.  I have a connection up between my pc and zaurus.  I can ping my pc and vice versa.  However I am having trouble getting masquerading to work.
on my zaurus run..
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i usbd0 -j ACCEPT
im not interested in making it secure - i just want to figure out the bare bones of getting internet on my pc.  on my zaurus I am running cacko 1.22 and my pc is debian.
anyone have any ideas?  thanks.

Wow, by chance I checked this today after a long time and voila! - Thanks!  I thought the project had died.

Are you interested in any graphical work for the project? ie phone icons and such?  If you are I'd be more than happy to make some stuff up.

One thing though - I get an error when i try to start in on my c860 with cacko 1.22 hotfix A

Code: [Select]

# cardctl resume; ./zedialer
Bus error
Thanks for the hard work!  Maybe soon i will ditch my cheap cell for good.

The only problem I ran into and was unable to figure out how I could get it to work, was trying to send DTMF tones in order to make button selections (ie, Push 1 in order to hear your message, Push 2 to append, Push 3 to blah blah blah) so I couldn't actually do anything but make a call. So this (so far) wouldn't work if you were trying to navigate menus where you have to push numbers in order to advance. Does anyone know how this would be done?

at+vts=(tone key);

Security and Networking / How-TO: Connet CF GPRS/GSM (AudioVox RTM8000) to internet

well I guess I should have looked things up a little more before I started asting questions...
kermit can after all do what I wanted it to do.. so can minicom.  I'm not sure what technical support at kermit meant then....during the call you can generate tone with....

at+vts=1;

it is a little troublesome to type that in every time you want to make a tone or dial a number manually, so its really helpful to set up an expect script.  If anyone needs expect, http://sense.net/zc/files/ .... it is dependent on tlc which is also there.
I hope this isnt old news to everyone - i wanted to help out in some way :-/
it also turns out that i made some error when trying the card out on cacko 1.22 the first time - i've tried it again and it works fine.

thanks for the info ludovicus (my cat louie ate the one the card came with).  I now have my new ziplink and it works great.  I've been using kermit for dialing - - i like it because of the command line interface and the scipting ability it has.  Altough recenty i wanted to check my voicemail with kermit - after a long time playing with it, i couldnt seem to figure out how to generate a tone after i dialed a number.  technical support at the kermit homepage says that you have to know the extension you want before you make the call... with the wait command (atdt123W1)

can minicom do this? i've tried using minicom but not for long -- i cant seem to get rid of weird characters when editing the options in it

guylhem-- can your software do this? -- im looking forward to it :-)

also -- has anyone had problems with their audiovox since installing the new cacko 1.22 rom?  I've had to revert back to 1.21 for the time being :-(

Thanks tg - you've saved me many hours of frustration :-) - that worked right away

also i found that if i just opened a new session in the embeded terminal and typed opera or netfront3 it would realize that it was connected, not bringing up the connect dialog

one more thing i am trydng to do is find a headset that is compatible with the audiovox - so far i've bought to headsets from walmart - neither recognized that i was receiving a call... know of any that work well?

if i try to use the gui to dial i get connection failed after about a minute with the green light blinking slowly on my audiovox card--- i've tried various settings --- for number *99***1# and *99# --- under the network tab i have it auto-detect ---- under the modem tab i have tried AT+CGDCONT=1,,"internet2.voicestream.com" as per a recomendation from tech support and AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IP",\"internet2.voicestream.com\" from this how-to --

then i try the more complicated method---
when i follow the steps and then try to pppd call gprs i get.....

Removed stale lock on ttyS3 (pid 2485)
Press CTRL-C to close the connection at any stage!
defining PDP context...
Connect script failed

i am using a c860 with a fresh flash of cacko 1.21 with hotfix b.  i have the audiovox rtm8000 and t-moble as my provider.

anyone have any ideas?
