Tedro,

I don't know of a trademarked name "OpenPDA".  If you've got a Zaurus 
then this is a fine place to ask.

There are other good places too (if you like web forums) :

- http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/
- http://www.zaurususergroup.com/  (find the forums section)

You say it doesn't work but you don't say what you do and what you see 
and how you know it doesn't work.

Networks can be simple  but there are multiple things which can go 
wrong.  (Is that a contradiction?)

Have you checked out the Network applet on the System tab?  If your 
network supports it then DHCP is the simplest setting.

An important thing for you to mention is which software ROM you are 
using.  The System Info app Version tab has the information we need 
to know.
