Internet/Networking my Z72 to WinXP Comp..
Submitted by HM4A1 on 10 November, 2008 - 06:23.
So, first off I'd like to mention what an awesome job you guys have done with this so far! Congrats!
Now, I'm fairly tech savy within certain areas, however this sort of thing is not one of those, so don't expect me to understand anything less than english outside of comp terms, a few cmd terms etc. So, how do I connect my Zire 72 to the internet via networking it to my computer through USB/is it possible? . Keep in mind this is Windows XP not Linux on the PC.
So firstly, HOW do I network my Z72 (with linux installed and working) to my XP comp.
Then, how do I connect it to the internet from there.
Thanks a bunch.

According to the comments in the driver, RNDIS doesn't work properly on the PXA27x due to hardware bugs, although maybe there's a hack applied in our older tree. See wikipedia for why normal USB ethernet is not supported by XP. It's the usual story. Sounds like it might be possible to get normal CDC ether working on Windows using a Zaurus driver and some tweaks though.

Right, so basically, it doesn't work easily?
