So, to surf the web, you only need to put an index.html file on Linrebs store directory pointing somewhere on the internet. In the reader you go to BOOKSTORE and click the icon and Linred should respond with that index page you created, after that, click on the link and VOILA!!
Is it clear?  |
This works
fantastic using the EBW1150 to browse the internet.
I surfed to the MR wiki pages and everything downloaded fine (except .imp links!
), just that none of the
hyperlinks are
underlined (current limitation) so choosing what to click becomes cumbersome.
Alas, my REB1200 did not have
any success using this approach to 'surf the internet' since it is connected to a router with a local IP address (192.168.0.X) and not connected to the computer running Linreb (127.0.0.1). The Linreb part works okay but the surfing HTTP requests are not passed through somehow.
I tried different configurations, but still no go! I'll keep trying to get the REB1200 fully working
!
Ret, is it possible to use your local (WinXP box) IP address instead of 127.0.0.1? My situation, in essence, is one where the hardware reader is at one local IP address and needs to go through a computer running Linreb at another IP address which inturn needs to proxy properly with privoxy. My brain hurts now just thinking about this...
Any insights? suggestions?
EDIT: I removed the HTTP proxy setting on the REB1200 that is used to communicate with Linreb, but already had its content directory page loaded in and managed to get the REB1200 to surf the internet. So it is possible; just takes some more thinking...
Proof of concept is the surfing to the ETI home page with the REB1200. I just grabbed the closest capturing device to record this. Sorry, it is very low quality and low light!
EDIT: I just took some more pictures of surfing the internet (better lighting and quality). Have a look at my REB1200 Album and EBW1150 Album!
