I am using Debian GNU/Linux unstable with a 2.4.24 kernel.

The quick way ....

Here are the commands I used: modprobe usbnet echo "usbnet" >> /etc/modules vi /etc/network/interfaces And then I inserted: auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.129.1 pointopoint 192.168.129.201 netmask 255.255.255.0 pre-up modprobe usbnet post-down rmmod usbnet Then restart networking and try a ping ... /etc/init.d/networking restart And then try a ping to firstly the local IP: tigger:~# ping 192.168.129.1 PING 192.168.129.1 (192.168.129.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.129.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.7 ms --- 192.168.129.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.7/0.7/0.7 ms And then the Zaurus: tigger:~# ping 192.168.129.201 PING 192.168.129.201 (192.168.129.201): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.129.201: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2.7 ms --- 192.168.129.201 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 2.7/2.7/2.7 ms And now we can smbmount and things ....
