Bootlegged free net over mobile phone


Recommended Posts

I get free WAP with my mobile phone, and since mobile phones connect (whilst using WAP) using PPP, I tried connecting my Nokia 6210 with Nokia Data Suite 4 to my PC.

If I make a dial-up connection to the number which i have been given, it dials, connects, logs on etc; but it seems only to be able to send TCP packets. If i try and ping the WAP gateway it says 'network unreachable'. But if i just connect anyway to the WAP gateway on port 80, it works fine as a proxy. So i get free net (at a crippling speed).

My problem is that it can ONLY send TCP packets. ICMP doesn't work, and neither does UDP. So DNS won't work (UDP), i can't ping anybody. No traceroute, no downloads via MSN messenger and the like.

So any solutions? Would a VPN or some kind of tunnel via TCP/IP work?

Thanks, Simon Hall
