If I force the depends, the installation completes succesfully but when I try to start Konqueror it starts and immediately quits. Any ideas?

I tried both your suggestions and I still can't get it to work.

UPDATE:

I have flashed my Z with the 3.5.4 OZ rom... Thankfully now I can configure usbd0 through Network Settings.  

However I still cant get it to work. Both devices (Z & PC) respond to pings from one another.

One other thing: since OZ doesn't come with a browser (like Opera in the Sharp ROM), I searched around for Konqueror and I downloaded an ipk file. However, when I try to install it on my CF card I get dependency errors, the following are missing:

qt-embedded (>=2.3.2)
qpe base (=1.5.0)

Where can I get them? There's no feed for the 3.5.4 ROM and the 3.5.3 doesn't work for me (suspend problems).

Can you ping a remote computer by using its IP address? If you can then your problem is in the DNS server and it's not Zaurus specific.

I can ping any computer using its IP without problems...

Sharing of Internet via PC as Internet gateway

Windows IP: 192.168.129.200
Zaurus IP  : 192.168.129.201


Firstly, we need to ping each other to check the TCP/IP connection.

Next, issue the folllowing commands using SU mode:
- " route add default gw 192.168.129.200
- " route add -host 192,168.129.200 usb0d

After that, we should able to surf from Opera browser.

I hope the above will help.

I tried the above, but when I try the route add host command I get "Host name lookup failure".

The Z and the PC both ping each other without problems.

Any ideas?

5x00 General discussions / Can Anyone Recommend Good Cf Cards

« on: November 11, 2005, 11:47:59 am »

I'm looking to add a CF lan card to my Zaurus SL-5500. Can you guys recommend some good compatible cards? I'm looking for both wired and wireless lans, speed isn't an issue (I don't care if the wired is only 10mb as oppossed to 100mb or the wireless is 11 as opposed to 54). I saw a 3Com 3CF1 or something like that on clearance at a place online somewhere for like $10 (it's an older 10mb wired CF lan card) but I'm not sure if it's compatible. Is there a "known compatible hardware" list somewhere?

Thanks
Marc

Same here, looking for a compatible CF lan card too.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. First I'd like to say you have a great forum here.

I got a Zaurus SL-5500 off eBay a couple of days ago and for the past 3 hours I have been checking out the alternatives to Sharp's 3.13 ROM (opie, gpe etc.). For my needs, the 3.13 ROM will do best.

I have installed both v3 USB & Ethernet drivers on my PC and communication between the Z and my box (XP SP2) is fine, I can transfer files and sync with no problem.Both the Z (PC Sync setting) and my PC (Zaurus Manager) are configured to use "USB TCP/IP".

However, I have a problem - I can't share my PC's internet connection with my Z. When I go to "Settings"->"Network" on the Z, and I click "New", there are only 4 options available:

Dial-Up (Modem)
Dial-Up (IrDA)
LAN - TCP/IP
Wireless LAN - TCP/IP

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a fifth option named "USB TCP/IP". I distinctly remember this option being there on ROM ver. 2.38 (the one the Z came with). Now, on the 3.13 it's gone...  

With OPIE, it's easy to configure (it shows on the network list as "usb0" or sthg similar).

Can anyone help me here? Is there another way I can configure usb0 with the Sharp 3.13 ROM? Am I doing something wrong? I searched the forums to no avail.

Thanks in advance guys!

Don't think there's any way to do it. Personally, I now use a wireless CF card (the Ambicom works out of the box on the 3.13) and my own WAP.

Surely this can't be right... Why would a feature in the 2.38 ROM not existi in the newer 3.13?

Does that mean that if I plan to share my internet connection from my PC to my Z I have to flash it with Opie or GPE?
