CraigTyson and others
Despite my obvious ignorance about computers that I display to the community on a daily basis I have conned my benevolent employers to give me administrator priviledges so I can do what I want on my box.
I have now reinstalled the Intellysinc software on my pc, which I had already tried but this time it worked and I now have a lovely new lan 3 on my pc which is configured as instructed earlier.
I can now ping both ways.
I get the unauthorised connection warning but just keep pressing allow.
Now I was certain that I was supposed to install the old sl5500 version if intellysinc (1.43e) as opposed to latest version that was released with sharprom 3.10 because of well known dtm compatibility issues with oz.
Now eventually intellysinc crashes telling me that the version on the pc does not match the version on your zaurus Intellysync for sl will now exit.
So nearly there one last bit of advice should help me to become a proper oe zealot.
Thanks again for your patience.
