Final try at sync and internet access

. Edit /etc/resolv.conf and replace the 127.0.0.1 with your providers
nameserver entry.
2. Edit /etc/hotplug/usbdnet.conf and add a line GATEWAY=192.168.129.200
3. Edit /etc/hotplug/usbd.func and after
ifconfig usbd0 $IP netmask $NETMASK
add the following three lines:
if [ \"$GATEWAY\" != \"\" ]; then
     route add default gw $GATEWAY
fi

So now you just plug it in and out and always have net and internet with
it...

Now you will probably want to have the Z talk to the Internet. Here is what I had to do to get this all working. First you need to add routes on the Z. You will need to do the following:

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

Found this at Zaurus Devnet:

set the Z to the same IP address as the PC and bridge the ethernet and USB connections on the PC in Control Panel]Network Connections.

Wow, Thanks oreo.  I won\'t have a chance to try these all out right away, but I\'ll try them as soon as festivities allow.  I appreciate the trouble you\'ve gone through and I\'ll get back with how things have worked out.

P.S. Merry christmas

This looks promising.

This is where my zaurus records network information that may be related to USB TCP/IP. The system logs this information automatically.

# pwd
/home/etc/hotplug
# cat dhcpcd.conf
#
subnet 192.168.129.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.129.1 192.168.129.1;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.129.201;
option netbios-node-type 8;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
}
# cat usbdnet.conf
IP=192.168.129.201
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DHCPS=yes
DHCPC=no
#

This is where lease time is stored.

# pwd
/home/system/var/state/dhcp
# cat dhcpd-usbd0.leases

lease 192.168.129.1 {
        starts 4 2003/12/25 9:05:26;
        ends 4 2003/12/25 9:15:26;
        hardware ethernet 40:00:02:00:00:01;
        uid 01:40:00:02:00:00:01;

Well, I\'ve tried everything suggested in this thread and it still doesn\'t work.  I\'ve got sync working to outlook but no internet access.

I\'m wondering if there is something different about the 860 that makes it not work.  It seems I\'ve gone around and around a bunch of different instructions - all variations on mostly the same configuration files / settings.

Anyway - I\'m too weary of the process.  Maybe I\'ll try it again in a few days.  I may just get a wireless router and I\'ll just do wireless for myself at this point.  Unfortuately this means I won\'t be able to build the application that I wanted to.  At least until things get better integrated into the operating system.  There is no way I will be able to recommend that clients buy zaurus pda\'s without this process being a lot easier.

Thanks for the effort oreo. Too bad it didn\'t work out.
