[SPAM] Re: [Voyage-linux] Huawei E160

Thanks Natalie.

I spoke with my service provider (o2) this afternoon and got told off for
using my phone SIM in the dongle :-( they suggested that this was perhaps
causing the problem. I went to the store this afternoon and picked up a
proper mobile broadband SIM, topped it up with credit and have just
connected and still get NATed.

I'll try and speak with their technical department tomorrow but something
tells me that this will be a pain.

I've been talking with Wayne about setting up a tunnel, we'll see if that
works for us, we just have a fair number of these systems going out the door
and I don't want to get caught up in too much administration so the simpler
we can keep things the better.

Cheers,

Rob

You are NATted, if you want public IP try to use another mobile
carrier or try to use  IPv6 with a tunnel ( but your clients then have
to work in ipv6 )
