Hello.
I am running ubuntu thought Linux on Dex app. However, i cannot use the internet in ubuntu. I have a connection available, outside of linux on dex the internet works properly.
The message that chromium and firefox shows is that there is not any internet connection.
I would appreciate if someone have some ideas to repair it.
Thank you

Has anyone got it working?
It works out-of-box on my Ubuntu, but it doesn't work at all on Mac OS 10.6.
I read somewhere that Mac doesn't have "usb ethernet" driver, so I googled one out and installed it (Zaurus driver), but no luck.
Forgot to mention - I don't want to use PDAnet or other 3rd party solution.
Would be perfect to just get a working USB ethernet driver for Mac OS.
I'd also be interested in this.
I currently use PDA net but it's not perfect. I've spent hours trying to work out how to get it going but with no luck.
Still no go. Found g_ether drivers, but they are for 10.5 only.
I'm quite disappointed with mac at this point
The good news is Froyo will have internet sharing through wifi, which should let us, mac users, fully enjoy tethering without rooting
is there a app for android that i can use to access files on my pc - pictures and video for example, through wifi or the data plan on the phone, and if so, can it be done while pc is turned off? (i.e. when im at work can i then acess files on the pc?)
Thanks
If you set up Dropbox correctly then yes. Otherwise you'd need your PC on to access it remotely.
if you turn your pc off then drop box is your best bet. if you leave it then you can install an ftp or vnc server on the pc and use an ftp or vnc client on the phone. i use ftp to transfer thing top my phone from pc over wifi a lot. android vnc is good
Download from market teamviewer ,for me is the best choice.
I use ConnectBot to connect to my desktop at home; course, the computer has to be turned on first but that's easy too - wake-on-lan on the computer, activated through the home router admin page.
This is fine for geeky Linux connections as it's over SSH...

Hiya,
Ubuntu Forums
That's the instructions I followed to enable WoL for my computer; I've got a Draytek router at home and this has a WoL feature that can send the relevant packets to the computer inside the network.
Draytek Router FAQ
However, if you don't have this function on your router, you could always use an app on your phone to do it:
Wol Wake on Lan Wan (Android Market)
...course, you might need to configure your router to forward on the relevant port for this to work...
I'm using CM9 on my galaxy nexus.
I can connect to my PPTP VPN server (my router running tomato) fine without tunneling, both inside my lan, and outside it.
I can connect to my SSH server (again my router), both inside my lan and outside it. And have successfuly forwarded ports before w/ connect bot and remote desktop apps.
But everything I try results in my VPN connection timing out when I try to do it over the SSH tunnel. I have it connecting to localhost on the VPN settings side. And on the connect bot side i am forwarding port 1723 to 192.168.1.1:1723 (which is my routers lan IP).... but it still times out.
Does anyone have any ideas? is this even possible?
bump - so no one has tried to do this?
edit: nevermind, not possible with PPTP http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=666728
PPTP requires the GRE protocol, which you can't tunnel over SSH. I've googled this extensively and have tried it repeatedly without any success. You could do PPP over SSH, but it's not very easy to set up, and depending on what OSes you're running, it might be out of your reach.
Check out OpenVPN; it runs on both Windows and Linux, uses a single configurable port for communications, and does everything over that port; as long as you can find an unblocked port on your network to use it on, you should be fine.

Hi all,
I have asked this over at whirlpool and they are a little stunned about it.
basically i have set up a vpn network using the incoming connections feature in windows server 2003. I have port forwarded and my android 2.2 phone can connect to the vpn. it works, i can browse files on the server etc, but when its connected i cant browse the internet on my phone.
I dont think its a problem with my vpn setup because my windows computers connect fine
any help is appreciated
Has anyone sucesfully managed to tether their 4G gemini to a laptop, to share mobile data?
I've tried WiFi hotspot and USB tethering and I'm having no luck. The laptop gets an IP and gateway address from the Gemini but still can't connect to the internet.
I have no problems when I tether using a different phone.
If someone with a 4G gemini and a laptop could give it a go and let me know if it works for them, it would be really helpful.
Thanks!
Tom
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tethering works fine for me.
Maybe tethering is blocked by your carrier.
FIle transfers do not work either

When connecting USB to usbC , the Win laptop claims connection exists, but permission to connect is missing. Hence it would seem that Gemini or Android is incapable of registering a physical connection (even if it reports slow charging" when at an USB2 port as opposed to USB3.)

I would really prefer a cabled connection to hack exposed and battery-eating wireless methods, so any advice is welcome. I tried to hook up and mount the Gemini so as to use the versatile file handler MC on it at my lange stationary Linux machine, but it seemed to be "invisible". (My Gemini is the pure android latest available version, not rooted.)
