Okay this is what I have:

one linux box running FC4. eth0 connects to the net via a cable modem. This has a static IP address. eth1 is a SMC2802W wi-fi card working (I think :)) with ndiswrapper. This is what I have:

[root@carbon ~]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:20:24:D3:9C inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Bcast:202.88.160.191 Mask:255.255.255.224 inet6 addr: fe80::213:20ff:fe24:d39c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:22175 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1002 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2044288 (1.9 MiB) TX bytes:120283 (117.4 KiB)

I also have a Sharp Zaurus 5500 w/ Openzaurus 2.5.4rc1. I managed to get a SanDisk cf wi-fi card. I finally got the wi-fi card working with a little help from google. The light in the card goes blink-blink so I know its working.

Now I want to connect my zaurus to my linux box over wi-fi.

On the zaurus the wi-fi card has a ip of 192.168.129.203. I have tried to ping 192.168.129.202 (ip of eth1) fromthe zaurus but am unable to do so. Trying to ping the ip of the zaurus from the linux box gives an error saying detination host unreachable. The lights on the wi-fi card ligt up when I try to ping the zaurus.

What do I need to do ? some pointers please. I can of course provide any more info required.

regards,

Sharukh.
