Hi,
I'm trying this too, but haven't gotten as far.
I installed the USB ethernet driver, gave my Z and my mac manual IPs (192.168.129.xxx). I can ssh back and forth between the two, but the Z can't find the internet (ping attempts give: address unreachable). I turned on internet sharing (of regular ethernet, to usb ethernet adapter) and my firewall is allowing port 80.
I've been hunting around and I think I might need to turn on ip forwarding on the z. (I found a page describing setting up a pppd on the usb and setting up a NAT using the iptables command which appearantly my Z doesn't have yet.)
The Z has OpenZaurus (really minimal, the person i bought it from flashed it) and the mac has 10.3 and is connected to a DSL modem.
Hi qwerty,
I never tried OpenZaurus yet, so I'm not sure if it works the same way as the SharpROM concerning networking...
Try the following:
If the Zaurus and the Mac are connected and are able to ping each other,
open a terminal on the Z and type:
sudo route add -host 192.168.129.1 usbd0
and
sudo route add default gw 192.168.129.1
Then you should be able to ping a server on the web from the Z
(ping
www.google.com ...)
Please try and give me feedback, if you were successful, and then we'll attack further steps. (I have some urgent work to do at the moment and for some weeks did not try to get further with my Z, so my memories what I tried and what helped for whatt aren't really "fresh" ;-( )
Best regards,
Martin
