SFR France GPRS Access for QTEK S200 (with Dopod ROM)

[bs450]

Guys,

I've have a Qtek S200 (upgraded with Dopod 2.15.13.27 universal english rom) and I'm having problems getting a GPRS connection for WAP browsing with SFR France. I've set-up my connection with what I think are the correct APN settings and whenever I launch my browser the conneciton comes-up OK. The problem is that IE cannot locate any pages that I enter.

I think this is down to either some other parameter that I'm missing, a DNS issue or a problem with SFRs WAP site not recognizing my device. I've tried setting with and without a proxy server (195.115.25.129) and this makes no difference. In fact when I connect I cannot ping this server anyway.

The settings I'm using are:

APN: wapsfr
Proxy: 195.115.25.129
Cellular line: GPRS
username: none
password: none
domain: none
Addressing: dynamic
DHCP: dymanic

I'm using Hudson Mobile's IP Dashboard to monitor my connection and I get a valid IP address. Normally something like 10.277.143.81 but when I try to ping the proxy server I get a request timeout.

I've also set-up a different APN connection for MMS and this is working OK.

Has anyone got a suggestion on what the problem may be?

Thanks,

Tony

I found a solution. For SFR, you need to set the HTTP proxy to port 8080 instead of the default which is port 80.

SFR also requires a proxy for WAP (port 9201) and secure WAP (port 9203). The proxy IP address is 195.115.25.129 for all three protocols.

The bad thing about all of this is that the SFR Web site does not provide this information. They just advise you to set the APN to wapsfr.
