Sync problem - 5500 running OZ won't sync

[Guest_Vash_the_Stampede]

Okay...I just flashed to OpenZaurus from Sharp Rom 3.10 today.  The flash went great, but I can no longer transfer anything back and forth.  I've been syncing to a Win98 machine just fine with the Sharp Rom.  Any help?

When I put the Z in the cradle, windows stops responding (mouse moves, but nothing else) for a short time, then continues normally.

Qtopia Desktop doesn't detect the Z.

The OPIE networking setup app shows an Ethernet connection with the proper IP address (192.168.129.201).

I went to the dos prompt in windows and pinged that address...all timed out.  Pinging from the Z fared no better.

I'm not sure where to go from here, as my experience with Linux is extremely limited, as is my experience with networking.

Oops...version numbers:

OpenZaurus 3.2
Opie 0.9.3

Windows 98SE

Qtopia Desktop v. 1.5.5

NM now...for any noob like me in the same situation, here's the tutorial that I found after a lot of Google that actually worked.

Thanks to whoever you are for posting that.

I wish this was better documented...some people (like me) don't understand how ethernet works and need it explained in simple terms, as the tutorial explains it.

Problem solved, the Z syncs both ways.
