Hi Rolf, sorry to hear you are having issues still. I know when I got
my Freerunner and I couldn't get it online I was tearing my hair out.
Now I don't know much about this stuff and your router/IPs are set up
differently from mine, but I wanted to post my "personal
checklist/notes" that I clobbered together from the wiki & these emails.
Perhaps something in there will help you or someone else out.
I am running openSUSE (11) as well so Matt's original emails really
helped me out. Turns out my issue was the nat translation thing as
well. Here are my personal notes:
ON DESKTOP PC:
# My router's IP is 192.168.0.1
# My machines/devices use 192.168.0.2 through 10
# So the phone will get configured correctly when connected:
# Create the config file "/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usb0"
BOOTPROTO='static'
IPADDR='192.168.0.200'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NAME='Openmoko'
STARTMODE='hotplug'
USERCONTROL='no'
# Edit /etc/hosts and add this line for convenience:
192.168.0.202 openmoko
# Get your nameserver information, you will need it for the phone later:
"cat /etc/resolv.conf" should show you the nameserver(s) at the end.
Mine has two.
nameserver a.b.c.d
nameserver a.b.c.e
******************************************************************
These steps have to be done *every time* after reconnecting the
phone via usb unless you automate it using a script in
/etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d/. I tried automating it but in the
process messed up my eth0 connection so I abandoned that for now and
just do it manually.
# So you can ping/ssh directly to the phone:
route add -host 192.168.0.202 dev usb0
# Forward network requests from the phone so it can use the desktop pc's
network connection.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
*******************************************************************
# Now connect to the phone
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<yes if prompted>
<Enter for root password>
ON PHONE (one time setup):
# Edit /etc/network/interfaces and make sure the usb section looks like
this (again, mine has two nameservers so I have two lines there):
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.202
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
gateway 192.168.0.200
up echo nameserver a.b.c.d >/etc/resolv.conf
up echo nameserver a.b.c.e >>/etc/resolv.conf
# Restart networking if you changed /etc/network/interfaces.
/etc/init.d/networking restart
******************************************************
After restarting the network on the neo, you will have
to do the three steps in "Forward network connections from
the phone" steps listed above again on your desktop PC!
******************************************************
# Back to the phone's terminal:
# Make sure the phone's usb config worked:
# "cat /etc/resolv.conf" should spit out your nameserver(s) like so:
nameserver a.b.c.d
nameserver a.b.c.e
# Now you should be able to ping www.google.com or whatever.
Hope this helps!!
