Currently I am trying to set up a bridged network between my PDA (Sharp Zaurus) and my Macbook Pro. I would prefer to do this within OS-X if at all possible, but am willing to use one of the Linux VM's I have set up to do the same job. The PDA is currently running Angstrom and I am pretty sure I have everything set up properly on that side. I have manually configured the ip address on the PDA using ifconfig. Within OS-X, however, I have no idea how to bridge the internet connection coming from the wireless network to the PDA via the USB cable. I have read of this being done within Linux and Windows.
The pda does show up as a new network device. I configured everything(?) properly and then set up sharing within System Preferences. The major problem seems to be DNS. I have followed the instructions within the Angstrom Manual, but still to no avail am I able to set up a network between these two. Feel free to ask for more information as I do not know what really affects any of this as I have never set up a networked connection on a USB device. Normally I would be using wifi, but I can not seem to get that set up within Angstrom either =/. On a side note, I have Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora Core 10 set up in VM's that do have access to the internet so if need be I wouldn't mind using those if it would make things easier. slashdot.org/~Drakkenmensch "Is this going to be another one of those hollow claims backed up by a viral video, like unlocking car doors with a tennis ball?" slashdot.org/~Mindkata "Its much easier with a cricket ball.
