No Sync - Intellisync on PC & SL-3000
« on: November 18, 2004, 08:07:51 pm »
Hope someone can advise....

Trying to sync my new SL-3000 with my laptop running WinXP Pro SP2, so far no go...

Installed Sharp software on laptop, using the file '5500v31u' that I downloaded.

Installed everything from that file except Qtopia Desktop.

Want to sync PIM info with MS Outlook.

Always get connection errors when I try to sync.

Have checked PC Link settings on Z (USB - I/O Default) and same on PC (USB - I/O Default).

Having problem if I set PC Link settings to 'USB - TCP/IP (Advanced)' on Z and match that on PC with Zaurus Manager.

Zaurus Manager complains when I set it to 'USB - TCP/IP (Advanced)'  by popping up window saying that I need to connect Z. However, it's already connected....

Anyway, does someone have some advice as to how to be able to sync???

Thanks!

The first time you changed the setting to "USB - TCP/IP (Advanced)", it should have prompted you to install a second driver.  If it didn't then try uninstalling the Sharp software, rebooting the PC, and re-installing.

Another option is to go into the Device Manager and check the View > Show Hidden Devices option. Then, expand the Network Adapters to reveal one or more SL Series (NDIS 5) devices. Right click on each of them and choose "Uninstall...".

Reboot your PC and then place your Z in the cradle (turned on) and let Windows recognize the new device and prompt for the drivers CD.

The Z should be directly connected to the PC, not through a USB hub. You may also need to try a different USB port for Windows to recognize it.

One final piece of advice: Windows is pretty picky about USB devices -- always use the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" toolbar applet to "Stop" the device before removing the Zaurus from its cradle or turning it off. Otherwise, you'll need to reboot the PC before it will recognize the Zaurus a second time.

Thanks for your help doseas!

Hmmm.....see several issues here right off the bat....

1) Been trying to sync Z with my ol' Libretto 110CT....no onboard USB. Using my FW/USB PC Card to provide USB. However, wondered yesterday if problem might be related to not using AC power supply with that card. In the past, with other devices that has been an issue.

So will try it with AC power supply to see if it makes a difference.

2) Good point about remove Z cable from PC....wasn't doing that...just do that to remove PC card....

3) Don't think I was ever prompted for second driver...

So might do reinstall...

So it goes...

Well, no go so far....

Per previous posts below:

1) Don't have my USB PC Card AC adapter with me today, so can't try that idea out till later.

2) Have tried to uninstall 'SL Series (NDIS 5) devices' in Device Mgr...however, wouldn't let me do that. Got error message that device was needed for startup...

Did try rebooting PC and plugging in Z while turned on...but no sync...

I do get some communication with PC after clicking 'Sync Start' button on Z, as I see 'Synchronization in Progress' window open up on my PC....

However, after a minute I always get the error message about some 'communication problem....disconnect my Z, wait at least 30 seconds before reconnecting, check settings on Z and Zaurus Mgr, etc'....

Have same problem whether I try using 'USB -I/O (default) or USB - TCP/IP (advanced) as connection setting.

Any other ideas??

Thanks,

Mark

Got Sync!  

De-installed Sharp English apps on PC and reinstalled the new apps for the SL-3000 from the Japanese CD...

Sync works!

Only thing is now I've got apps on PC in Japanese!!  

Oh well...

Hi! I'm experiencing the same problems, the fact is that I first installed the programs given on the japanese CD (...drivers/network/slz...sys)
I don't understand why I don't have the connection.
Besides, have someone a link for an english version of the script?

Judith,

First, you should double-check your settings on your Zaurus and see if they match the settings on your PC. I've found it's easy to think you've got them to match but they don't.....

On my C3000, it's called 'PC link'....

Not sure what script you're referring to....these are driver files or the desktop PC apps on the CD......

HTH,

Mark

Thanks Marc, it works :
first I deinstalled everything (the intellisync included)
then put the zaurus' PC link settings on the TCP/IP connection option
installed again the zaurus CD : written in japanese... second link
then validation of all the parts of the process, confidently.
At the end, the connection to the PC was possible.
Putty works.
NB :
to let the zaurus be recognised as a mass storage device, the PC link settings on the zaurus must be put on Storage - internal HDD or different devices put on it CF /SD cards)
then plug the zaurus to the USB port... it's then useable as a big USB key

Well, I have a c860.  I don't see an internal HDD option on my PC link setting.  Is that only a feature of the c3000.

I can't get mine to sync via Intellisync or Qtopia Desktop.  I tried both TCP/IP and IO settings.  When I startup Intellilsync or Qtopia Desktop on my PC, the Dialup Connection pops up[my Internet connection is a dialup modem].  It seems to me that it's looking for a network connection and not finding it.  I was not able to find any network adapters in any of the downloaded or CD files which I have, only WDM adapter files.

Anyhow, I am really confused and wondering if syncing my Zaurus is really worth the effort.

bethany, of course you don't have the internal HDD option on your 860 : the microdrive was included on the sl-c3000 serie.
If it works the same way : disconnect the zaurus from the PC verify the adequation of the setting on both devices, then reconnect.
If it doesn't work : reinstall the drivers just like I did.

Hi All

A big thanks to Trisoft for the detailed installation instructions for Windows
I thought I was going mad until I read this forum and saw how many others had problems connecting.

Few pointers I learnt getting my C860 connected:-

Use a stand alone USB port

Don't install anything from the CD, just switch on and let Windows detect new hardware and ask for drivers, at which point enter the path to the install CD

(You dont actually need to put the Japanese CD in and load drivers from that, it can be the translated English ones.  The crux of the matter seems to be that if you just go ahead and do an installation from CD, the network drivers don't get installed properly and Windows thereafter regards the Zaurus as removeable storage, reading the CF card but not communicating with it)

When syncing, keep the Zaurus turned off until prompted to "Put it in the cradle".

good luck all and thanks again Trisoft,  I'm off to start getting my Linux box talking to it now
