Talk:Tcp/ip over usb
From wiki.gp2x.org
- What the heck is this? Is this confirmed at all? why is this on the main page? (synkro)
- As far as I know this has not been confirmed by anyone. I highly doubt that the modules needed to do this are included in the kernel supplied on the GP2X. It should definitely not be linked to from the front page. -Andrew j w 13:53, 29 November 2005 (GMT)
- It's quite simple (when you know how) to build modules and insert them into the GPH kernel - it does support that. The net2272 driver provided by GPH seems quite capable of doing roughly what the standard net2280 driver does - they both basically expose the same USB gadget API, so anything that uses that will be fine. --Gfoot 01:38, 4 January 2006 (GMT)

- May be this should be used to detail how to set up telnet/internet access between the GP2X and PC for Linux/Windows (ParkyDR)
Updating
I couldn't find any information on telneting/FTPing to the GP2X over USB on the wiki, but it is on the forums here: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=27848 Shouldn't this page be replaced with the up-to-date steps? (a few improvements need to be made to that text, but it's a start) I'd do it, but I wasn't sure if there was a reason for keeping the current information public - Wite Noiz 12:12, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
"Play movies which are stored on your computer."
--> would be useful to add some information about how to do that.
Some info on doing this on gnu/linux computers should be added.

IP address
Why do you suggest that users should change the default IP address? The alternative provided is no better if it conflicts with an existing network. Surely it's better that more people leave it at the default. Just explain that if "ipconfig" lists a 192.168.0.* address already then you need to change it. Then the user knows *why* it needs changing, and is in a better position to fix things if they're already using the 10.*.*.* subnet you suggest for something else. Gfoot 12:33, 26 August 2006 (PDT)
Pretty simple, the 192.168.0.* range is very often used as default range for routers and stuff like that. By setting it to the 10.*.*.* range it's a very small chance that anything goes wrong. People who know what they are doing know what is happing there. People who don't know everything about there local network setup have a high succes rate. Daid 08:28, 27 August 2006 (PDT)
Mount a remote drive?
- Mount a remote drive so that you could run binaries that resided on your computer rather than on an SD card.
how did you mean that? mounting of nfs volume does not work. (jose1711)
