Try adding the command:
route add -host 192.168.129.1 usbd0
this should direct the connection through usb.

asfrank16,

Please check whether you have activated Internet shaing uisng Sharing under System Preferences.

You need to modify your /etc/resolv.conf to include nameserver and IP there.

asfrank16 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 13, 2004, 08:43:42 am »

How do I put the IP in the resolv.conf? I do have internet sharing on.

asfrank16 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2004, 08:44:31 am »

What I meant to ask was not how (i know how to edit the file) but what syntax do I use in the file to specify the IP address

freizugheit · « **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2004, 10:37:02 pm »

Maybe you can post the content of /etc/resolv.con of Zaurus here.

asfrank16 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 20, 2004, 03:23:34 pm »

Sorry for the delay in responding.

the contents are as follows (I did not opy the warning about having to point to an actual nameserver):

nameserver 199.45.32.43
nameserver 199.45.32.38

asfrank16,

By reading your ifconfig output posted on 29/4, it looks like your Mac was not connected to Internet directly.
Maybe let us know how you connect to the Interne, are you using another computer as a gateway.

asfrank16 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 21, 2004, 10:51:07 am »

I am connected through the network (dsl router). The DSL router is part of the network router. The info entered as the nameserver is what my computer uses to connect to the network, not what the router uses to connect to the internet (if that makes sense).

asfrank16,

On the Mac\'s System Preferences, click Sharing and press Internet tab.
Select Buitl-In Ethernet follow by pressing the Start button.

I hope this will help share your built-in ethernet interface en1.

It cost me some sweat as well, but i have it working. You can find a nat how-to on the following address:
http://www.mac-im-netz.de/MacOSX-NAT.html
The first part is in german, but it basically says that in /etc/hostconfig you need to change the IPFORWARDING=-NO- line
to IPFORWARDING=-YES-

than just do what the rest of the how-to says, putting the three files in the /System/Library/StartupItems/NAT folder (make the folder if it doesn\'t exist) . And freizugheit\'s tip about checking if you have sharing allowed in the system\'s pref network panel is very important as well (I wish I would have read that before stumbling upon it)

Then on the zaurus type

route add -host 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0
route add -host 192.168.129.201 dev usbd0
route add default gw 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0

(not my idea these, also googled them from somewhere)

Thank you all who helped. I now have access via my mac to email and the web. Thank you.

asfrank16,

Can You share the steps or configurations you have done with us?

asfrank16 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 04, 2004, 09:09:51 am »

I used the steps outlines by ericwork above exactly (I had to create the directory and three files myself). Then I was able to connect. I also think part of my problem was that I had the power saving features on, which terminated the connection whenever the mac went into power save mode (although this IS NOT what stopped me from connecting originally). Hope this helps.

Hi
I tried also to acces my mail from my SLA-300 using the shared MAC ethernet but it does not work. I have sharing enabled on my Mac, the correct gw on my zaurus, the correct DNS server on my zaurus and the NAT modifications on my Mac. I can even ping the DNS server but when trying to get the mail it always complains about \"unknown host\". Bellow I attached the output of \"ifconfig\" on my Mac:

Hi
On my home setup where I share between my mac and my zaurus the modem line (dynamic IP) I can easily acces the internet from my zaurus even without the NAT files installed (just sharing from System Preferences and add the mac as a default gateway on my zaurus).

On my work setup I have a static IP for my computer and it uses a gateway somewhere on a central server of the lab to acces the net.[/i]
