6000 - Tosa / Gaim

« on: January 24, 2005, 08:32:47 am »

i have qazoo for yahoo, and it was working while i was in America & England, but for some reason it no longer works.  i am in Ethiopia now, and the local telecomm tells me that they are not blocking any ports...   has yahoo changed anything?

the "Pager Host" is set to: scs.msg.yahoo.com
the "Filetransfer Host" is set to: filetransfer.msg.yahoo.com

If anyone could let me know if these are correct i would be gratetful

cheers,

Hi xjqian, Thanks for getting back to me.
If you are on a network, and you are connecting using the network, then the name "zaurus" would need to be in the DNS with a specific IP address.  If "zaurus" is not in the DNS you should use an IP address from the network you are using.  Is it on a private (non routeable) network  that you have set up (in which case give yourself an additional IP address. You can setup your own DNS later), or an office/university LAN/WAN?  You may need to have the local admin give you a routeable IP address for you zaurus, and have him/her put the IP in the DNS.

Cheers,

Couldnt xjqian also just go into the host file and add the name zaurus and the ip address for it so in windows he can use the host name?

Yes, I suppose so.  I am afraid that I do not know that much about the way MS Windows is srtuctured, or whether it has a host file as a UNIX box would.  Most of my work has been with FreeBSD (and some Linux.)  
Yes, that would certainly work.

lek,

no, I can't get it to work even manually configured. I don't have much time to play with it though. please let me know if you have any luck with it.

Btw, I'm a little confused though, do I need to type in the IP?  As if I use my Zaurus as a VNC server, on my desktop side, I only need to provide the host name "zaurus".

Stupid question, I can't get keypebble (above) to connect to the VNC server,

I tried to put the following IP into the "host name" of Keypebble,  but it complains about "can't find host"
 
192.168.192.1
192.168.0.4 (win XP home, local LAN IP)

Anything I need to configure on the server (win XP) side? (btw, I used RealVNC 4.0, server service mode, default setting)

Hi xjqian,
were you able to get around your problem? If you did would you let me know what you did?  I seem to be having a similar connection issue, though I am working through a wireless add-hoc network.

6000 - Tosa / Manual Installation Of .ipk From Console

« on: January 19, 2005, 01:55:26 pm »

To install a package from the command line, run:

ipkg install <file.ipk>

It's sometimes possible to manually install an application by converting the file to a .tgz, unzipping (via WinZip), and then placing the files extracted in the appropriate directories (setting permissions when appropriate.  )

6000 - Tosa / Manual Installation Of .ipk From Console

« on: January 19, 2005, 01:14:36 am »

Hi, sorry if this is rather a basic question.  I have recently had a problem getting the
"Add/Remove" software on my Z6KL to see the new software I have loaded for installation.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I still have enough internal memory.
I would like to find out how to load the .ipk files from console.  Is there software about for the Z6KL that will do it?

Cheers,

A word of warning -
if you go and change your time zone, and you have recurring appointments in your calendar, there's a good chance that they will get messed up.  It's happened to me every time I changed time zones.

I have this problem too.  I travel between Aftica, Europe and North America, and I would love to find a work around.  Is there one?  How about the KOrganizer?

« on: October 30, 2004, 07:22:02 pm »

I finly went to the local shoe repair shop and had them make a simple leather pouch for  my Z6K.  It only fits the Z6K, but that is what I needed.  It has a belt loop and works just fine.  It cost me $15.00 I do also have a small Jansport pouch which serves when I need more room.

« on: October 04, 2004, 05:44:38 pm »

Maybe this is a little late, but I just bought a thin plastic 8.5 x 11 envlope, which you would use in a binder for .69 cents and cut out a bit that fit my z6kl's screen.  
It works very well.
My z6kl came with a plastic flip screen.  I bought it through Amazon.com.
