I have a home desktop running Windows XP, a linksys wireless b router, a SL-5500 zaurus running OZ 3.2 and the cradle and a working wi-fi card for said zaurus. I use to be able to connect to my router using wifi card, but something happened and it\'s been so long and the post where I found out how to do it was lost along with sharp\'s dev board. so my problem is this. I have OZ on my zaurus, with no 3rd party apps, and no card reader to get files to it. the only way I can get files on there is via the cradle or card. I forgot how I did this last time, and if someone could tell me in the newbiest way possible how to do it I would be very grateful.

Have you tried using Intellisync file Transfer?
BTW what are you trying to install?

Use ftp to port 4242, username root, no password.

Or sftp, with root & root\'s password.

P.S. The Sharp file transfer app won\'t work.

ftp is not working, I am not sure what sftp is, and I can\'t even get a ping between the computer and the zaurus. the zaurus recognizes that it\'s connected to the computer, and auto assigned an IP of 192.160.129.201. I am using the original drivers for the USB cradle from SHarp as I heard this works in another post, and so far it recognizes whenever I put the zaurus in the cradle, and it also auto assinged an IP of 169.254.38.56 I also have the wifi card installed, but it\'s not picking up the network no matter what configuration I give it.

as for what I wanted to do, either install the Sharp ROM back on the Zaurus for compatbilities sake, or at least get all my original apps that I had back on thier, as I accidently deleted a number of them in the packeges utility until I figured it out.

I am not a newbie to computers, especially with wndows, but when it comes to anything Linux I am sorely lacking. thats why I got this PDA and also a few distro\'s of linux, in hopes of learning a thing or two.

This is a ZeroConf address. Change it manually to 192.168.129.200.

Then try pinging again.

SUCCESS!!! it was actually 192.160.129.200, but thats only becvause the Zaurus assigned itself the 160 instead of 168. I am forever and eternally in your debt!

now if only I can get the wi fi working so I can surf the net, I\'ll be all set. any ideas?
