Hi,

I try to use networking between my hx4700 and my FC4 laptop and i meet some
problems. To be more specific, i have configured my laptop with:

/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-usb0

# USB configuration for iPAQ
DEVICE=usb0
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.0.200
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no

/etc/sysconfig/route-usb0

192.168.0.202 scope host dev usb0


When i plug the iPaq ifconfig shows the correct infos concerning usb0
interface.

Respectively, my iPaq has 192.168.0.202 ip address, 255.255.255.0 netmask
and 192.168.0.200 as default gateway.

However, when i try to ping eachother i get nothing.

This is laptop's response when i try to ping iPaq

PING 192.168.0.202 (192.168.0.202) 56(84) bytes of data.
>From 192.168.0.200 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

I use Opie with the images from sdgsystems (boot via HaRET).

Thanks in advance,

Yiannis

What is the "ifconfig" and "route" output on both machines(your labtop and
your ipaq)?

I also run this script which enables ip_forward, but i think that it has
nothing to do with a simple ping (i think that is related with internet
access through laptop)

#!/bin/bash
#
# dirty hack to enable forwarding and NAT
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
/sbin/iptables -t nat -F
#
# obviously the 192.168.1.1 in the next line needs to be the IP of your FC 4
box
# same for the interface
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j SNAT -o eth0 --to 150.140.187.26

I am not sure /etc/sysconfig/route-usb0 does this, but I don't see allowed
forwarding:
echo 1 > /pros/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
UrK

Can you get some info about the errors you get?..I know, you've said
that there is 'Network unreachable' error, but there can be comething
more -- i dmesg or so.

I use sdgsystem's starterkit with opie 1.0.2 and familiar 0.8.2 (kernel
2.6.11-hh2).
Has anybody established usb networking with this starterkit??

Regards,
Yiannis

Looks like no-one is listening?

I think that there is a problem in USB networking. I've never tried
it, so I can't help. But that really will be the problem. Ping looks
like it's send to nowhere, there no RX bytes on both devices.
