<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>I am going by the instructions here: <a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPRS#Option_1:_With_GSM_multiplexing_and_with_a_GUI" target="_blank">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPRS#Option_1:_With_GSM_multiplexing_and_with_a_GUI</a><br>
<br>I have installed the gsm0710muxd and everything seems to have gone fine. Now, using the Services GUI, I am not able to get GPRS working. First, the settings I have for my connection<br><br>user:<br>password:<br>(both are supposed to be blank)<br>
APN: portalnmms<br>Primary gateway IP: <a href="http://10.10.1.100" target="_blank">10.10.1.100</a><br>Port:9401<br><br>On my FR, my /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets now read like this:<br><font size="2"><br>
<code style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"># client server secret IP addresses<br>
* * "" *<br><br>The last line of my /etc/ppp/peers/gprs file reads<br>user *<br><br>(should this be user "" or user "*" ?) <br><br>as advised here: <a href="http://freeyourphone.de/portal_v1/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=295" target="_blank">http://freeyourphone.de/portal_v1/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=295</a> (replaced "PUT_USERNAME_IN_HERE")<br>
<br>I'm using *99# as the default dial number, as it isn't clear what Vodafone Live! uses in Mumbai, India. <br><br>Ross Barkman (<a href="http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html" target="_blank">http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html</a>) says the settings should be user: guest, secret: guest. However, it doesn't seem accurate.<br>
<br>I don't know whether the gateway IP is to be inserted in the routing table, and if so, how the port is to be specified. From the first couple of attempts with the scripts and GUI, GPRS seemed to work but actually it didn't. Now, I only get a FAILED status report in the GUI.<br>
<br>Can anybody tell me if I need to modify the pap/chap-secret files, or the gprs file, or the dialled number? If this starts to work, I can start using the FR as my daytime (office only) phone plus the GPS. <br></code></font></div>
</blockquote></div><br>OK, got GPRS to work. I was reading a GPRS HowTo somewhere, and realized that I only had to comment out the <br>user "PUT_USERNAME_IN_HERE" field in /etc/ppp/peers/gprs.<br><br>The scripts now work, and I can get GPRS running in two-three attempts. The gateway address <a href="http://10.10.1.100:9401">10.10.1.100:9401</a> can be declared as the http_proxy (and HTTP_PROXY) address in environment variables, and specified in your favourite browser when on GPRS.<br>
<br>The settings above are valid for Vodafone Live! GPRS Mumbai India. Just for the record.<br></div>
