Need Help for telnet to e680 using linux (suse 9.0 pro)

[ycyas]

i had some trouble with my windows xp, it had a virus, so i changed to my old linux suse 9.0pro, but i dont know hoe to telnet in to my e680, like in win xp.

[pascal]

without making your own kernel would be not possible, or you use leoppp, but i never tried.

but perhaps you stay at linux, would be an really improvement

[ycyas]

and just as a mass storage device?

Telnet and even mounting filesystem via USB from linux to the phone is easy:

Hello all,

MFC is down at the Moment, so I post it here. I found it is possible, to have a telnet session open and share files the same time between my linux box (Gentoo with smbc package) and the new e680i via smbshare.

On your linux box type:

echo "192.168.1.2 e680i" >>/etc/hosts # Or your IP-address of the phone
mkdir /mnt/e680i
mount -t smbfs -o guest //e680i/system /mnt/e680i

That's it! Easy, eh? The contents of the phone are now mounted under
/mnt/e680i.

While you may change files between the phone and linux box you may have also a telnet session open without switching anything at your phone or reconnect usb cable to wear out the plug.

You haven't to do anything on the phone beside to get it in usblan mode as usual (echo "MotNet" >/proc/usbd-switch) before enabling usblan on linux (ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.2) because the samba demon is running already.

hmm.. its not so easy for me..
it just works the "mkdir /mnt/e680" on my linux

i dont know thats wortrks or not, and what you mean with the phones ip-adress?:

echo "192.168.1.2 e680i" >>/etc/hosts # Or your IP-address of the phone
mkdir /mnt/e680i


and the mount comes just:

linux:~ # mount -t smbfs -o guest //e680i/system /mnt/e680i
Error connecting to 192.168.1.2 (Connection refushed)
2989: Connection to e680 failed
SMB connecton failed

please tell me step by step about it
i m not so into linux and its system!

Das ist genau das was ich meine, du brauchst das usblan module unter linux und da kommst du nur hin wenn du dir einen eigenen kernel kompilierst, weil das usblanmodul unterstützt vor kernel version 2.6.12_rc4 das e680 nicht. also ich finde das für einen Linux Anfänger nicht einfach cytux... allerdinds sollte man nicht verschweigen wenn du das geschafft hast y-cyas, fühlst du dich schon ein bisschen stolz und freust dich ein linux zu besitzen in dem du alles nach deinem belieben verändern kannst...

übrigends funktioiert das mounten des dateisystems mit meinem e680 unter linux nicht, ich kann zwar das samba-share sehen, aber die verbindung klappt nicht

usb-storage mode sollte unter suse kein problem sein, aber das hast du bestimmt schon ausprobiert y-cyas?

P.S.: sorry for writing in german

Hey y-cyas, that's quite nice and the first step.

i dont know thats wortrks or not, and what you mean with the phones ip-adress?:

echo "192.168.1.2 e680i" >>/etc/hosts # Or your IP-address of the phone
mkdir /mnt/e680i

You need two ip adresses for your usb connection. One for the phone (which is already configured in the phone) and one in the linux box. Otherwise it is not possible to transfer data over usblan. You must find out the address of the phone (ifconfig with linloader or sumthing) and then use the same class c network for the usb ip address in the linux box but another address. In my example, the phone has address 192.168.1.2 and the linux box has the same network (192.168.1.x) but host address 3.

The "echo" command simply establishes an alias for the new ip address so you don't have to type numbers but can use the name "e680i" for telnet or sumthing.

and the mount comes just:

linux:~ # mount -t smbfs -o guest //e680i/system /mnt/e680i
Error connecting to 192.168.1.2 (Connection refushed)
2989: Connection to e680 failed
SMB connecton failed

1. As pascal mentioned, u must use a new kernel like 2.6.11 or 2.6.12 (not only since rc4 if I am right). If u configure the kernel for compiling there must be some modules enabled (usblan and smbfs for example). If u don't have compiled these modules, which are included in the new kernels, u will have no success! You could then select the bluetooth ppp choice, this needs no usblan, but it is slower and you need a more complex configuration. It seems easier to take the usblan path first. So:

--> Be shure to have a new kernel and compiled the modules by configured usblan and smbfs with "make xconfig" or sumthing.

2. If you get errors as above you may enter "dmesg" and it will tell you much more about the error sources. Try it and then tell me what the last lines of dmesg are stating. But before you may mount over the new usblan connection you have to tell your ip stack the ip address, so after you have done as mentioned above type:

--> ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.3 (or your ip-address if different)

If you enter "ifconfig" then there must be an entry with this interface. If not u mustn't try the mounting cause it will fail for shure.

If the above steps are done, then you are not far away from success and may ask me for further steps. You also don't have to enter the mount command to test your usblan connection. You may simply enter "telnet -l root e680i" to telnet into the phone. If this works, u may use the mount command.

please tell me step by step about it

Because it's an english forum here, I guess it's better to write the whole postings in english. Some other users might get the same problems and don't speak or even read german.

Is telnet possible? What errors? What tells dmesg?

official support is included since 2.6.12_rc4 you can read thread about at linux-usb-devel at SourceForge.
I have patched my 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 kernel with this info by hand and it worked too.

Sorry, but was going faster to describe it for me

Ich weiß das! Aber alles kein problem, weil y-cyas ja die Idee hatte. Scheinbar spricht er auch Deutsch.

I know that! No problem @ all cause y-cyas had the idea. It seems that he speaks also in german.

Ooops, my timemachine tells me my pizza is ready.
