MacOS X A1200 46p working with telnet & samba, FINALLY !

[mrharvest]

I've been trying to get this to work without much success.
I'm able to telnet from the phone to local host, so the inetd should be running alright. ifconfig in the phone gives me the ip I've assigned it (169.254.1.2). Then when I tell it at+mode=13 in Zterm and run 'make load' in AJZaurus src folder it loads the kext fine. Next I go to Network settings and assign the new-found Ethernet port with the ip I want (namely 169.254.1.1). Clicking Apply it starts spouting unholy amounts of errors to my system.log, ex.;

Any ideas?

mrharvest,
I am at work but will try my mac at home to diagnose your issue more. Can you give me the following info in the mean time:

-did you try restarting and then doing a make load? Also try deleteing the kernel extension ktext cache files (at the same level as the kernel extensions folder) and reboot
-MacOS X buid version?
-software version on your phone?
-do an ifconfig on your cell phone and see what ip it has (ie. is it 192.168.16.2?)
-what version of Xcode do you have?
-what is the output of an ifconfig on your mac?
-is this an intel mac?

Best,

Stephen

Cheers sschaubach,
- I've tried restarting / unloading & reloading the kext / deleting the extension from /System/Library/Extensions. I didn't touch the cache files as according to timestamps those haven't been fiddled with in the last couple of days.

- I'm running Mac Os X 10.4.8 on a Core Duo Macbook. uname -v prints:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Mon Sep 25 19:42:00 PDT 2006; rootnu-792.13.8.obj~1/RELEASE_I386
- Xcode version 2.4, gcc 4.01, make version 3.80
- My phone software is version .53p if I'm reading the right values. (I don't know much about this stuff, tbh.)

- ifconfig on my phone gives:
usbl0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr DE:691:2B:72:1F
inet addr:169.254.1.2 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
- ifconfig on my Mac gives:
en10: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::6665:36ff:fe39:6400%en10 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8
inet 169.254.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 169.254.1.255
- I've also tried setting these to 192.168.16.xx subnet but the results are no different (i.e. still the same errors).

Using the precompiled driver I was actually able to once make the phone respond to ping - so it might be an issue with the compiling process. I'd really appreciate it if you found something. I think I'll give telnetting to the phone a go with Parallels if that works at all.

Edit: A cursory glance at the AJZaurus forum at dsitri.com shows I'm not the only one with this issue. I'll try the PPC version with Rosetta and maybe the precompiled again and see what happens.

mrharvest,
sorry I couldn't get to this sooner for you. Ok, goo news. it appears that what the issue is, is that you're not using the telnet I am using. Consider the ipconfig you do on the phone. It tells you that you're on 169.x.x.x. A 169 address is a private ip and self-assigned address. (for instance if you were on your Mac and told it to use DHCP but it never finds a DHCP server to get an address from, it would self-assign a 169.x.x.x address)

The other good news is that the driver appears to be working because I see an en10.

try these things:
1) do everything you did before and try and telnet to 169.254.1.2 from your mac
2) if that doesn't work, try using this telnet:
http://motorolafans.com/index.php?na...wnload&id=2067
3) if you use that telnet (and after install/reboot) do a ifconfig again and see what the ip adress of your phone is, now...if different, try connect ti THAT address

I think you're VERY close...report back here and keep your fingerz X'd

Best,

Stephen

Nope, it still doesn't work. I am in fact using that package you linked to. I've tried assigning the phone a different ip as well but as I said earlier it doesn't make any difference.

Based on the discussion here I must assume it's a driver issue. Now that the Merom MBPs are out maybe they'll release a new version at some point.

Sorry for the trouble.

mrharvest,
Try to get telnet to assign your phone's interface an ip, hopefully 192.168.16.2. I realize you can get in localhost, but eevryone else get's an ip assigned to their phone. I might be and probably is a driver issue but until you get the telnet working to assign an ip, I wouldn't rule anything else out.

I have a mac-mini that's an intel box. This week I will try my instructions out on it. (I would have done it sooner but's it's just a TV box

hang in there and either way, it appears they are working on a driver and it it doesn't work on my intel boxen, I will begin to examine the source myself, too.

Best,

Stephen

I've got alot of this working on a Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.8 connecting to an A1200 running 53p. Here's what works:

1. In Virtual PC I can telnet and get samba access, though it uses an IP of 192.168.16.2.
2. I can telnet from an OS X terminal window, but the IP is 192.168.1.2.

When I try to mount the filesystem via samba in the File Manager it wants me to select the SMB/CIFS shared volume with the only choice being "home". I click OK and it wants system authentication (Workgroup or Domain, Name, Password).

Has anyone else encountered this?

[sschaubach]

lapwolf,
I use smbclient (see the pict above) but, it you want to use the GUI add a '/system/' on the end like this:

smb://192.168.1.2/system/

and you;ll see a window pop up like below and notice the mount point locally on your mac in /Volumes/system


Best,
Stephen

BTW I should have included this so THANKS...I edited the orig post to include this

[sschaubach]

BTW, somebody asked about telnet login username/password

username= root
no password, just hit return

Best,

Stephen
