Sorry for the slightly confusing subject... but please read on :) and
sorry for the looooong mail.
I have a Sahrp Zaurus SL5500 flashed with Openzaurus 3.5.3. I googled on
getting it connected to my PC running FC4. I go online via Hathway cable
internet. I connect the zaurus to the PC via the usb cradle. This is the
output in /var/log/messages:
---------------------------------
Sep 18 21:04:55 carbon kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 2
Sep 18 21:04:57 carbon kernel: usb0: register usbnet at
usb-0000:00:1d.1-2, Sharp Zaurus SL-5x00, ce:a7:d6:df:73:2b
Sep 18 21:04:57 carbon kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbnet
----------------------------------
This is how I go about it:
The Zaurus has an IP address of 192.168.129.201. I have the following in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfc-usb0
------------------------
DEVICE=usb0
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=192.168.129.255
IPADDR=192.168.129.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.129.0
NOZEROCONF=yes
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
TYPE=Unknown
IPV6INIT=no
NOZEROCONF=yes
-----------------------
Then, I have a script in /usr/local/bin like this:
--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
zIface=usb0
zIfaceIP=192.168.129.1
zIP=192.168.129.201
/sbin/ifconfig $zIface $zIfaceIP netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/sbin/route add -host $zIP $zIface
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
--------------------------------------
This is what ifconfig gives me:
-----------------------------------

--------------------------------------------
I can ping 192.168.129.1 from the zaurus and I can ping 192.168.129.201
from my desktop. I suppose this means that I have a two connection working.
This is what route gives me after running the above script:
--------------------------------------

------------------------------------------
Now to my problem :)
I can't ping anywhere other than my desktop from the zaurus. I am running
a caching nameserver on my desktop. On the zaurus I have tried giving
192.168.129.1 for the dns number. I have even tried using the hathway and
also the vsnl dns nameservers with no success. I have 192.168.129.1 (the
ip of the desktop) as the gateway.
I always get a message saying: Host name lookup failure. This seems to me
like a dns problem. Can someone please help ? Please ... I want this
working before I plonk down for a wi-fi card for the zaurus and my
desktop.
regards,
Sharukh.
