5x00 General discussions / Usb Tcp/ip To Rom 3.13

« on: June 14, 2005, 02:16:13 pm »

I'd like to be able to network my Z via USB. I'm running the 3.13 ROM, with the appropriate version of Zaurus Manager, and I thought all the drivers were installed to my Win XP box, including the USB network adapter. However, System > Hardware > Network adapters (in Control panel) only shows me my Ethernet card.

XP's native SP2 firewall is upand running, could that be it? When I had the OZ 3.5.3 on the Z, and Qtopia 1.7 on the PC, I could see the SL adapter in device manager ... I just could not use it.

okay, update on this. I was finally able to figure out how to see and enable the USB TCP/IP device manager, and it now syncs through it.

Now to figure out how to set up the network connection this way ...

I didn't really set anything up.  Just make sure you're using the Qtopia Deasktop from the web site and not one that came with your Zaurus since they use different formats.

I reflashed using the 40-24 instead of the 64-0 because I want to put Opera in internal memory and just like you say,  the sync worked right off the bat - well,  I had to say accept "any" in the security settings and put the IP address of the Zaurus in the Qtopia 1.7 settings,  but it worked like a charm.

Thanks for your inspiration!

Are you guys syncing through the USB cradle, or the network? I just flashed to OZ 3.5.3 32-32 today and can't get Qtopia 1.70 to connect to the cradle. What should the IP address of the Zaurus be? Which network USB setting should I use on the Zaurus?  
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=83866\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I'm not using the cradle - am using my wireless card to connect wirelessly to my Windows XP PC through the Qtopia desktop 1.7.
On your Zaurus,  with your wireless card inserted and its green light on, find the network icon under the settings tab and click on it,  write down the IP number displayed next to the "802.11b (wlan0) line.  Mine is 192.168.1.103...yours may be different and sometimes mine is 192.168.1.104 instead.

On your zaurus go to the security icon and click on the green icon that looks like a "refresh" symbol.  Change the first drop down box to "Any";  change the second dropdown box to "Qtopia 1.7",  click "okay".

On your PC, open Qtopia 1.7 - click on file, settings. Click on the "General" icon, select the LAN choice, put the IP number you wrote down from your Zaurus in the box,  choose your sync preference in the "Sync" tab,  click okay.

The connection icon in the Windows taskbar should change to green.

You can transfer files from your pc to the zaurus by clicking on the "documents" icon in Qtopia 1.7 desktop or sync by choosing the sync all icon at the top.
I have not been able to get the backup/restore feature to work though.

Let me know if you need more help.

Just messaged you ... I'm not wireless yet.    Do you know any way to set up USB networking through the cradle on Windows?

Toronto / Anybody Active Here?

« on: June 05, 2005, 08:55:34 pm »

Welcome. Us sl5500 users are still here. I have been through most of the roms available and found that tKc and Hybrid are my favorites. I keep trying OZ with (mostly with OPIE, but I did take a look at GPE on the last release), hoping that it'll get better. I like the concepts and the look & feel of OZ, but in practice, I have trouble getting certain things to work.

So where can I look at the various available ROMs and compare them?  I know where to look for OZ but how about tkc and Hybrid?
 

Edit: Nevermind, I just found the ZUG downloads page.

Hi, I've just joined ... waiting for shipment of a 5500 from Ithaca NY. I intend to spend a day or two getting used to the hardware & then flash it to OZ with Opie ... will be looking over the forums for tips & tricks etc.

Welcome aboard!  Good to see you got a 5500, it's like everyone's getting C-series zaurus' and it's making me feel obsolete

Not to mention penniless! I'm graduating to this from a treo90 which just barely supports the stuff I've decided I need, and the up-to-date Palms are right out of my financial reach ... as it is all I'll have to pick up is a wifi card, and thanks to reading on the forum I'm sure I know now which one I really really want. I've got a CF to flash to OZ with in my HP camera, and a bid in for a hardcase on eBay.

I'll just cross my fingers that my old Dell Optiplex GN+ with 192 MG of RAM, a 20G harddrive, a Pentium MMX 233 processor, and Win XP Home will support Qtopia or Intellisync. (I've had an occasional hang when Hotsyncing the Palm. Reboot system, start over. Grrr.)
