Trouble with O2 WAP GRPS PAYG


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

I've applied the settings for O2 WAP (GPRS) as specified in the Articles forum, but my MPx200 just flashes the 'G' three times before asking me if I've got network coverage.

I have an MPx200 with WM2K2, reflashed from 2K3.

Does anybody know of any known issues regarding this setup?

Thanks.

If the small just G flashes and you get 'unable to connect' then the Access Point Name might be incorrect.

Which APN are you using and what type of account do you have ?

It took me ages to get this set up so that both WAP and HTML work:

Settings -> Data Connections -> Edit Connections

GPRS Connections:

1) o2wap

Connects to The Internet

accesspoint: payandgo.o2.co.uk

username: payandgo

password: password

primary dns: 193.113.200.200

secondary dns: 192.113.200.201

ip address: blank

2) o2web

Connects to WAP Network

accesspoint: payandgo.o2.co.uk

username: payandgo

password: password

primary dns: 193.113.200.200

secondary dns: 192.113.200.201

ip address: blank

Settings -> Data Connections -> Edit Connections

Proxies:

1) o2wap proxy

Connects from: the internet

Connects to: wap network

Proxy: 193.113.200.195

type: WAP

2) o2web proxy

Connects from: WAP network

Connects to: The internet

Proxy: 192.113.200.195:80

type: HTTP

(NB: notice second proxy has :80 first does not)

Settings -> Data Connections

Data Connections:

Internet Connection: o2web

WAP Connection: o2wap

Internet Explorer -> Options -> Connections

"Automatically detect settings" ticked

Select network: WAP Network

This should (touch wood) work - let me know if it doesn't as I don't have my o2 sim card with me I will try again tommorrow to confirm I got everything right.

It even gets around the problem of Internet Explorer sending the wrong browser agent to wap sites. It's a bit of a hack - basically if it detects a wap site it will connect to what it thinks is the internet access point (actually o2 pay and go only has one access point) and use a wap proxy, and vice versa.

You just have to remember to prefix your wap sites with wsp:// not http://

eg. wsp://www.google.com/wml
