Forget about dhcp on the ipaq connected via usb. I could never get it to get and address from my server. I can tell you how to get it working with static ip though. iPAQ: 1) Make sure that the usb-eth modules is being loaded at boot time. 2) Familiar should already be setup for this, if you are using the latest release. Desktop: You need to have the usbnet.o compiled as a module. 1) modprobe -r usbnet 2) place ipaq in usb cradle 3) modprobe usbnet 4) ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 pointopoint 192.168.0.202 up (usb0 will be the network devicec on you pc) 5) route add -host 192.168.0.202 usb0 6) iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.202/16 iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.0.202/16 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.0.202/16 -j ACCEPT echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward If your desktop is already connected to the internet, the ipaq will be able to also now. Jayson Garrell p.s. you should suscribe to the familiar.handhelds.org mailing list for this. ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
