Question about MyMobiler

[djheir]

Is it possible to do an IP Connection over the internet (not WIFI) using MyMobiler? I ask because if I open MyMobiler on the device, it shows the "Mobile IP" address and says "Not Connected". Then, if hit "Connect IP" on my pc and enter the "Mobile IP" address from my phone, it will try to connect but then close. If I open MyMobiler on my phone again, it now says "Connected" and lists a Desktop IP address. So it looks like somethings changed but it won't connect.

Sidenote: I tried to ping the mobile ip address from my pc and it timed out. Just curious if this is possible.

If you open a commpand prompt and do an arp /a this will show you recent IP addresses that your pc has talked to. I use MyMobiler and my ppc IP address comes up as 169.254.2.1 (actually I can ping this address when active sync connects, even before MyMobiler is connected) I can ping my ppc just fine.

I do notice that some apps don't like to work while I am connected at work. My work has a pretty brutal firewall and blocks alot of sites..so I use my phone to get to what I want but still there are a few apps that won't work while I am docked, and the network monitor that I have on my pc also shows how much data my phone is transferring, which I thought was really odd...

This has been something I've wondered about as well. I've never been able to connect using IP connect except when my ppc is connected via USB to my computer.

So this really can work to connect remotely without having a usb connection? Can someone please confirm and provide instructions?

Thanks!

I tried that and when I tried to connect to the IP address that came up (which were different than what MyMobiler shows as my Mobile IP when I open MyMobiler on my device).

I've been able to connect through WIFI very easily. Make sure MyMobiler is installed on your phone and then go into Programs and click MyMobiler (for some reason, sometimes I have to click it twice and close whatever I've got open to see it). There, it should tell you what the current mobile IP address is (your address should be similar to your desktop IP address, assuming you've turned your WIFI on and are connected to your router). Then, on your desktop, right click on MyMobiler in the system tray and hit "IP Connect". Enter the IP address that was shown on your device and you should be connected.

If you are trying to do it from outside your network, you will most likely need to forward some ports in your router. I don't know what ports this uses. Try hooking your PC direct to your modem. Get it's IP. Then using your cellular data connection, try to connect My-Mobiler. I would think it would work if no router is in the way.

My router and modem are one box

That sucks... maybe someone who has a seperate router and modem could try it to confirm my theory. If it works, then you'd just have to figure out what port(s) to forward.

On GPRS network you cannot access the mobile phone.
If you need to do so, you'd better use a Mobile VPN on your phone or something like EveryWAN Remote Support Pro (not the free version which does only Cable/Bluetooth)

why not setup hamachi on the PC and the PPC?
