Sync sl5500 OpenZaurus 3.3.5 and QtopiaDesktop 1.7

[diesel1]

After following lots of instructions to sync my Z with QtopiaDesktop I finally got it working.

My Z is running OpenZaurus 3.3.5.
I have set up a usb connection with my Mandrake 9.2 box and turned on IP forwarding as described in many howtos. I installed QtopiaDesktop 1.7 from the Redhat rpm.

I started QDesktop but the sync menu was unavailable. I had the Z in the cradle and connected to the Mandrake box.

I opend Settings/Security and then the Sync tab.
The setting appeared correct at 192.168.129.0/24 but I tried the \'Any\' setting.

On closing the Security app the Z asked me whether to accept the Sync request from my Mandrake box.

I said yes and have had sync ever since!

Hope this helps someone.

I think I\'ve got the usb connection turned on per the how-to for Mandrake. Could someone please forward me to a how-to on IP forwarding?

This is a script to turn on IP forwarding, you need iptables installed.
The script is saved as ZConnect.sh and made executable.

ifconfig usb0 192.168.129.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
 route add -host 192.168.129.201 usb0
 iptables -t nat -F
 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j SNAT -o eth0 --to 10.0.0.1
 echo 1 ] /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

By the way, 192.168.129.1 is you usb connection to your linux box, 10.0.0.1 is your network connection to the inter/intranet.
I now coonect my Z to a wireless access point on my network rather then through the linux box.

PS..... again.
You will need to be root/su to run the script.

I have a wifi card,also, so I assume I would need to change the script accordingly?

By the way, thanks for all your help.

If you are connecting to the linux box with wifi then replace usb0 with your wifi network interface and IP address.
If you are not connected to the inter/intranet through an ethernet network card (eth0 if it is the first network card) replace eth0 and the 10.0.0.1 with the correct values.
