Traps:  How did you get routing to work?  Are you using a script?  I can connect to my vpn server, but routing doesn't work.  As for disconnecting, have you tried the vpnc-disconnect script in the vpnc tar (source) file?

Agosine: I have done nothing clever just installed the packages. I start vpnc by opening the terminal and doing su, #vpnc  and filling the info (Gateway address,group name, secret,username,password)
I get some message pop up about vpnc running is the background. This may be why when I use vpnc-disconnect it says vpnc not running. But it is, and I normally kill the process. Are you sure that your firewall/Gateway device it configured OK? Nat traversal should be configured on the vpn box.
We use a PIX 506E at work and adding  the following  "isakmp nat-traversal"  make it all work for me.

OK got vpnc working and I can connect to work. Disconnecting isn't very clean but for now I can live with that. No joy with viperinz though. Advanced tab shows nothing. Any ideas?

C1000/3x00 General discussions / 3100 Wish List

« on: August 14, 2005, 02:33:49 pm »

I have used fbvnc with alot of success, you can grab it from www.pocketworkstation.org, rdesktop is in the ipkg feed for pdaxrom and it works well for windows boxes. If your comfortable with the command line then smbclient and smbfs to manually mount shares should work for the samba.

Hi All,

In my job I have to support both Mac and PC networks. The majority of my clients have a Sonicwall or Cisco PIX with radius setup. I would like to be able to vpn into my clients network and use remote desktop and VNC to access the servers. I have tried vpnc and qtrdesktop with no success. I 'd also like to able to browse smb and appletalk networks. I would be interested to hear from anybody
who has used a Z as a support tool.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. I have qtrdesktop working now and will be looking into vpnc next.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / A Kernel With Everything

« on: August 14, 2005, 01:15:23 am »

Okay, since I'm a consultant and intend to use my Zaurus at different sites, I decided to try and compile a kernel with every resonable module selected.  I started with the patches listed at tetsu.homelinux.org (which has precompiled kernels as well, for some great instructions, this thread was a great help.

I included every USB driver (usb serial converters, tablets, mice, usb ethernet, usb wifi, NTFS, NFS, NCPFS (for mounting netware volumes), IPX, Appletalk, 802.1q, QoS (I'm a network engineer), Video for Linux and a bunch of other stuff that I don't remember. Eeverything compiled without a hitch (a testiment to Linux' robustness), and only one module flunked depmod (miropcm20.o). And indeed the kernel booted -- with the Sharp logo gone.

Now the resulting modules directory is over 4Mb, so I had to create a modules directory on /hdd2/modules and change the symlink in /home/root to point there.

So I have two questions. First, I've been using it for a couple of days with no problems, but I'm wondering if anyone can forsee a problem with moving the modules off the ramdisk?

Second, would this be useful to anyone else? If so, I can upload it to my web site (the kernel and modules total 2.8Mb tarred and gzipped so they won't fit here).

Thanks!

Hi,
sounds like what I've been looking for. I also support Apple and PC networks.Have you had any joy with vpnc and Cisco PIX's? I would also need remote desktop and vnc to work. Will your kernel run on my 3100?

OK.  Looks like it's connecting fine.  I see a good ip address on tun0.  Your GUI doesn't provide any sort of feedback though.  The lock remains in an "unlocked" position and still says "Not Connected" even though I'm passing through tun0.

Well, at least it's connecting... The GUI is monitoring /var/run/vpnc/vpnc.pid - do you have this file when connected? What are its permissions?

Is there maybe another qtopia lib I'm missing?

Don't think so (assuming you got the one in the feed)

BTW Guys,

I finally successfully connected to my Cisco PIX Firewall with vpnc!  My problem all along has been our company's use of 1des instead of 3des..  I'll have to report that.  vpnc requires special --enable-1des so you are sure you have a connection that is effectively unencrypted.  I don't care much, just need the connection!  I use ssh anyway ;-)  The only requirement really was a slight modification of the vpnc-connect script to fix the gateway issue.  I'm going to be compiling and packaging the seemingly much better version of vpnc from cvs.  For some reason my /dev/net/tun device doesn't survive a reboot from what I noticed so far...

So to recap, install the tun from above in this thread, which works with tetsu kernel v18 or sharp rom, or whatever (I'm using cacko).  Install vpnc and run it.. Specify gateway ip, group name and pass and whala.  Amazing   An open source vpn client that works great!

Hi all,
I'm using a 3100 and trying to connect to the office pix with radius. the error i get is INVALID EXCHANGE TYPE. The other issue is viperinz. I had problems installing and removing it. I think I'm using all the latest files now as I can add/remove without error.Does anyone know if the vpnc error refers to the exchange mode (Main,Aggressive)? Should the advanced tab in viperinz work and if so what does it contain?

C1000/3x00 General discussions / C3100 Hdd Recovery

« on: August 13, 2005, 11:48:04 am »

Hi everybody,

i have to correct my yesterdays posting. The sentence "should
boot even with a fresh formatted HDD" points to the FAT partition
with the "Documents" and dictionary directories.

But there are three partitions on the SL-C3100 HDD. So if the HDD
is totally blank without any partitions, the SL-C3100 won't boot up.
And this is how a SL-C3100 HDD partition table should look like:

/dev/hda1  Start 1  End 20  Blocks 10048+  id 83 System Linux
/dev/hda2  Start 21 End 40  Blocks 10080  id 83 System Linux
/dev/hda3  Start 41 End 7936 Blocks 3979584 id c System Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

/hda1 and /hda2 are 9.5 MB partitions. Each one contains a ".sys" and
a "lost+found" directory. The contents of the .sys-directories are
amazing   :

Files in /hdd1/.sys :
hdimage2.tgz  (2713 Bytes, contains japanese web-bookmarks - hurray !)
hdlist1.dat (85 Bytes, no clue what it's good for)

Files in /hdd2/.sys :
contlist.dat (100156 Bytes)
hdlist2.dat (1427 Bytes)
hdlist3.dat (1519 Bytes)

We just put these files zipped in our download-section:
SL-C3100 SystemPartition contents (90 KB)

Marc,
Many thanks for this advice! The Phoenix rises!
Repartitoned the MD  with fdisk then # mke2fs -j /dev/hda1,# mke2fs -j /dev/hda2,# mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hda3. Mount the disks #mount /dev/hda1 /hdd1 etc and copy the files from your download to the relevant disks. Reboot, install and run mcconvert,Reboot and there you go!
Not sure if everyone will need to do the mcconvert. But I had done a reset and a NAND restore.

Thanks again!

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Help! My C3100 Hdd Gone!

« on: August 12, 2005, 02:01:40 am »

Anyone here have a original back copy of the C3100 HDD?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91510\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Abum,

the SL-C3100 HDD contains nothing important. All the stuff
there (demo pictures, dictionary files, map files, books'n'stuff)
are also on the 3 CDs that came with the device.

But even with a fresh formatted HDD, a SL-C3100 will boot
without problems. So, if your Zaurus won't boot anymore, it
will be a different problem.

Can you access the Flashmenu ?
If Yes -> Try restore to factory defaults
if No -> Can you access the Diag ?
  Yes -> Make a NAND restore
  No -> Post more informations.

Hi Marc,
I to nuked my Z when installing OpenBSD. I have booted using D+B and it looks like the hdd is blank. fdisk shows no partitions! When the Z boots normally (Or not) I get HDD1 error! I tried a Reset (Power on with "OK" option 3 and option 1) But I still get the error. I have also done a NAND restore and get the same problem. It looks like part of the boot process tries to mount the MD. If what you are say about the 3100 is correct then the OpenBSD must have altered the boot process to point at HDD1. But why will a RESET and a NAND restore not fix this? Is there some magic command I can type to restore my DEAD Z ?   Also can you detail the 3100 boot process?

Regards
Paul

C1000/3x00 General discussions / How To Restore C3100

« on: August 11, 2005, 04:40:25 pm »

Maybe you could try to ask to conics if they can put a NAND backup of the 3100 on their site, they already have the ones for all the other models.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=88672\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Good idea,
I send them a mail, hopefully they will load an 3100-Nand image up. Also searching this Forum, led me to another link (http://www.xlfag.com/zaurus/) for restoring the 3000 from scratch. Accidentially someone run into similar problems installing OpenBSD37.
I am waiting for an answer from pelon, if that How-To will also work for the 3100.

Hi,
I did the same thing! Just waiting for my 5GB MD to turn up with a 3100 image on it.
I'll let you know how I get on.

Hi All,

I am new to this forum! I just brought a C3100 and was hoping to get OpenZaurus running on it, but it kill my HDD and my ROM.

Anyone here have a original back copy of the C3100 HDD?

Please help me out.


Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Well that makes two of us!
I was trying to install OpenBSD and... Oops there it was a £500 brick!
I bought my Z from Brett at Conics.net. I have just bought a 5GB microdrive with the HDD image on it. When it arrives I'll try and fix my brick and let you know how I get on.

UK / A regional 'Hello'

« on: August 09, 2005, 04:24:19 pm »

Hello to all the Z-UK users.

I'm James, I'm based near Reading (Hampshire).

I've been a long time Linux user, so I want to try something based on *nix but I've never owned a PDA, because of my dread fear of PPC and WinCE. After reading such good things about the Sharp Zaurus' (what is the plural? - Zaurii?) and speaking to other PDA and Linux users I've decided to join the club, so to speak.

The C-Series look great but I'm not going to break the bank until I know that I'll get on with these devices. The compromise at the moment is to take the plunge and import an SL-5600 to the UK from the US.

Does anyone have any experience of reputable importers? So far I've contacted shirtpocket.co.uk and am awaiting a response. Otherwise I've found several US ebay sellers who are willing to ship a new boxed 5600 for around £220 (plus shipping and tax).

Looking forward to much future Zaurus hacking (once I've got my hands on one)

Hi James,
I Got my Z SL-C3100 from Conics.net.
Brett there has been very helpful. I ordered on Monday and got it on Friday.
I also managed to kill it the following week by trying to install OpenBSD.
Conics are currently doing some in house testing to aid me in restoring my DEAD Z.

Regards
Paul
