I was trying my old serial port cable from my old Nextel and it seems to work for some things but not for bitpim or some functions on the older version of my phone tools. The new My Phone Tools don't even allow the use of anything but USB and certainly not serial cables.
Guess I have to just sit and wait.

Thanks

Thanks

HERE IS THE WAY: (tested on V265, worked like a charm)

* Set up the websession to use Google's WAP search as the IP: 072.014.203.099

* Service type: HTTP

* Port: 80

Now, here's the kicker that makes this 100X more badass than using same technique with a yahoo IP as quoted earlier:

If you choose to search the 'Web' and not the 'Mobile Web', it uses Google's HTML -> WML proxy to convert standard webpages to a better looking format for mobiles. So, the upside of using this method is that you will basically be able to browse the entire internet (with exceptions, of course - https and so forth will not fly, for e-mail, try GMail Lite with this method, works like a charm).

THE WAY THIS WORKS:

And what was the gmail lite set up you used, i tried this and it wouldnt load that page either.

Do you know of an easy wasy to start mobile web and have it go to the default home page. After setting up the google deal and going to xyz site, if i end my session there the next time i start mobile web it trys to load the last site visited.
Is there a better way to quicky start mobile web and go directly to the Home page?
Also if i use the yahoo deal you suggested and keep google as my default home page, then is it possible to set up a shortcut to use it?
Also i see after some additoanl reading about gmail lite that i would have to set up my website to use it correclty if im reading it right. I do have a site i can do that one have you tried that?

I keep getting Error: Cannot resolve host name after trying to connect to the Yahoo setup you provided. Do i need to delete any of the other info like the E2E or LXL port info or any of the Port 2 info?

This guide will assume you're behind a router.

1. We need to change your internal IP to a static IP, otherwise every computer restart, 'Now.Wap' will cease to work.


To do this, in WinXP:
Open 'Network Connections'
Left click on 'Local Area Connection' On the left side of that window some information should show up, displaying your computer's IP address, usually it's something like '192.168.0.3' or something similar (keep this window open for reference). Now, right click 'Local Area Connection', and click 'Properties', then Click on "Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)' and then 'Properties'. Click on 'Use the following IP address', we are going to enter an IP address similar to the IP address you are already using, only changing the last 3 numbers to '115', you can pick any number between 100-215 really, we're just trying to avoid bumping into a dynamically allocated IP. Now enter the same subnet mask as the previous window showed you, usually '255.255.255.0', the gateway and Prefered DNS should be your address, with a "1" as the last number, like "192.168.0.1". Now Click ok, and hopefully, you'll still be able to connect to the internet, if not, something went wrong, and go back to the inital settings.

2. Now that we have a static IP, we need to change the router settings to forward our 'Now.WAP' HTTP port to our computer.

To access the router settings, most of the time you can juse use a web browser, like so: http://192.168.0.1 (or your router's IP), please refer to your router manual if this doesn't work. Once you get to the router settings, you need to find a tab, or setting, related to "Port Forwarding". It will ask for an IP address to forward to, which will be your new IP address of your computer we just setup, in this case, "192.168.0.115", and it will ask for a port, use "8080", if it has a range of ports option, just put "8080" in both. You may needto click on "Enable" to activate that specific port setting. Now, Click on "apply" or "done" or something like that to apply the settings, and that should do it for that.

3. This still involves the router settings, so keep that window open.

You need to find your external IP address, usually the router has a tab called "status", where this is located.
Remember this WAN IP, you will need it for the phone setup.

4. Now we need to install Now.WAP.

Service Tab-> Click on "run as a service"
HTTP Tab->Enable the first 3 options. And enter "8080" as the HTTP Proxy Port.
Users Tab->Check all 3 boxes at the top. And add a user at the bottom, you will use this user name and password on your phone.

Click apply, and that should do it.


5. Now you have everything on the computer setup, onto the phone..

Menu->Settings->Mobile Web->Web Sessions->New Entry

Name: Any name you want
Homepage: Any of the WAP pages you want
UserID: The userID you made on Now.WAP
Password: The password you made for that UserID
Gateway IP: Your routers WAN IP, we got from step 3.
Port 1: 8080

6. Now set that new session to the default, and you should be able to browse WAP sites, using your home computer as the gateway.


Hope this helps, Good luck, if anything stops working, just go back to the default settings!

If you choose to search the 'Web' and not the 'Mobile Web', it uses Google's HTML -> WML proxy to convert standard webpages to a better looking format for mobiles. So, the upside of using this method is that you will basically be able to browse the entire internet (with exceptions, of course - https and so forth will not fly, for e-mail, try GMail Lite with this method, works like a charm).

THE WAY THIS WORKS:

When you do a standard web search on Google Mobile (NOT Mobile web search), Google's server loads up the page, and basically 'translates' it to make it more readable for the mobile device you are on. It doesn't always turn out too readable, but it does work. Because of the translation taking place at Google, the URL you are actually loading is on Google's server - which means the page will load using Google's webserver as a psuedo-proxy.

Example: (these URLs are greatly simplified - the actual URLs are much longer)

If you load 'www.junk.com' from a Google search on the wap Google, it will load a script on Google's server to 'translate' the page. The URL it is loading on your mobile is something similar to this:

http://google.com/TheScript?www.junk.com

As you can see - even though Google is loading the *content* from junk.com the actual URL loaded into your mobile is on Google's server, and therefore, local to Google. Remember how using Yahoo the same way as mentioned in earlier posts only allowed you access to some pages on Yahoo's network? This is how this method 'beats' that limitation.

The downside is that the 'Mobile Web' search is basically useless - you are using Google's http server as a proxy, so you can only load pages local to google - which the 'translated' WWW pages are - but if you try and load a result from Google's 'Mobile Web' search, it is trying to load the page directly from the other server, hence, failure.

However, you do get Google Local also - driving directions, weather, phone numbers, addresses, etc... AND the entire rest of the web. Sort of an odd deal - you get the entire web except for the mobile web.

OH YEAH - there are sites on the web (such as comp.uark.edu/~sposato/goto.html ) that allow you to enter an URL and it takes you there. Search for "Spo's QuickJump" on the websearch, go there, and snapshot that - when you go there and type in a URL, because you got there through the google proxy, it will consequently load the URL you type through the Google proxy and it will load up like a champion.

If you're all tapped out on the other methods and pissed off, try this. It is reliable - doesn't use some backwoods proxy of questionable reliability - and allows access to a big chunk of the www.
