ahh!
how do i uninstall this?
it messes up my phone menu!
the icon is so big :P

To uninstall apps, just press on them with the pen for a long time, till a menu comes up, and then select "Uninstall".

But why do you get a large icon? What firmware are you using? Are you viewing it in "list View", or "thumnail View" (you set these from the menu in the phone menu).

I just uploaded a new version - please try it. I hope the icon isn't as big any more...

i found a bug(maybe only on my FW)
if i start the app and close the flap i cant access the app anymore
i have to end it from task manager and restart again
rest eveything seems to work fine
i am using FW 12p
not much useful for me because i cant telnet on this FW but still gives me some info of my IP address
only sshd works on my FW

Yes, you are right. I think this is because it isn't a real EZX app, just a hack. I'll try to figure out how to solve this....

Do you have sshd installed on your phone? If you have, you could just edit the file "commands" in the directory where netcontrol is installed (probably /mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/netcontrol), and change

# this is sshd
#^+25 10 check ./busybox ps aguxww |./busybox grep -v grep | ./busybox grep 
sshd -q
#^-1 30 text 40 sshd

To

# this is sshd
^+25 10 check ./busybox ps aguxww |./busybox grep -v grep | ./busybox grep 
sshd -q
^-1 30 text 40 sshd
^-1 ^-1 button 12 13 (cd PATH_TO_SSHD_DIR;./sshd.sh)
^-1 30 text 40 sshd
^-3 100 button 92 25 (cd PATH_TO_SSHD_DIR;./sshd.sh)
^+3 ^+9 text 80 switch sshd

(I'm not sure if sshd is started with sshd.sh, or something else, but put the right command in.) (and notice that lines 2 and 3 are just one line above)

Or, you can just tell me where on your phone sshd is located, and I'll post a new control utility that also starts sshd

What does this app do? does it share you pc internet with phone? how do i do that?

This app allows you to control the network apps on your phone. For example, to telnet into your phone, you need to turn USB on, and start inetd so that telnet into the phone is allowed. This was handled with the application called inetd, or inetd.pkg. But I found that I had to connect the phone, click on the app, then try to telnet, if that doesn't work, click again, and so on. I didn't have a good enough control over what i happening. With this app you connect the phone, click on USB, then on inetd, and then you can telnet in - you have full control over what is going on. In a sense it is a replacement for inetd.pkg and smbd.pkg

To telnet from the PC into the phone, you still need to install a driver for USBlan on the computer, and you need to bring the network device up and give it the right address (on the computer side).

Also included is fakeDSM. This allows java applications on the phone to access the network that is connected through the USB. For example, if you have a web server running on the computer, opera might be able to see the pages (I haven't tried that). You can also run the VNC application that is available as a java app for the phone, and then control and see X11 or windows from the phone.
If you want to access the internet through the USB connection, the computer that the phone is connected to has to route from the USB net to the internet. I'm not sure how exactly this is set up. Once you configured that correctly, then fakeDSM would allow java application to access the internet through the USb connection.

Any one figure out how to make this leap from USBLan to the actual internet using the USB cable?

Finally an easier way, thanks!

sorry... don't mean to be a bothersome newb but what is this app useful for? I got lost in all the tech jargen.

This application replaces two existing applications to make it easier to telnet into your phone from your computer.

You would telnet into your phone to access the files on the internal phone memory instead of just the transflash card. This is useful for coders, developers and some modders.
