Re:%20USB%20networking

Hi

I have USB networking running fine between a Windows XP machine and an
IPAQ 3630. Here's the summary of how I got things to work.

On the XP machine I installed the Bahaia drivers.
* Unplug IPAQ from USB.
* Unzip the BAHAI package into you required directory
* Plug in the USB from the IPAQ
* Install the Bahaia drivers
* Goto Network Connections on the XP and Bridge the Bahaia and local
network connections

On the IPAQ (Familiar with OPIE)
* Open Settings.Network
* Select usbf
* Configure usbf
* Turn off DHCP to get a Static IP
* Set the check box in Automatically bring up
* Uncheck DHCP if set
* Select a static IP on your network (i.e. not in the region
allocated by your DHCP server
* then add the subnet mask, gateway and first DNS as used by your XP
machine
* ok to accept
* ok to close Network setup
* open a console and do 'modprobe usb-eth'
* unplug the USB cable from the IPAQ. Count slowly to 10 for
dramatic licence
* reinsert USB into IPAQ

You should now be able to ping your XP and outside world if connected.

If this doesn't work first time, goto network settings again and start the
USB connection.

Hope this helps.
