AW: can't get motorola v120e phone to talk to my kannel wap serve r (1.4.0)

Well, firewall rules on your RH system might be a problem. As to the
IP-Address: GPRS IP addresses will be assigned on demand by the network. If
you phone gets a public address, this would be the address you need to
allow. Since this address is unpredictable, you will have to open the WAP
port for all addresses. If your provider implements some kind of NAT at the
border between the internal GPRS backbone and the Internet, than you will
have to add the address of the(se) NAT host(s).
 
But all this assumes, that your provider allows you at all to directly
access hosts on the internet. Some providers lock you into their private
network. In this case you can only use the providers WAP gateways to access
WAP sites. This might be anything on the internet or just a few selected
services.

Hi Jorg,
 
Greatly appreciate your response here.  Are you referring to something like
a "firewall" or simply a need to open up permissions for additional IP(s)?
The wap server is a RH Enterprise system.  Would you happen to know which
files I need to edit to permit my wap phone to tap in, assuming it is
blocking me?  Dumb question:  which IP(s) would I need to add to the
"access" list on the wap server?
 
TIA,
Steve

Are you sure that you can actually reach the machine running Kannel? Some
operators provide a "walled garden" solution where IP connectivity is
restrictet to the network with the operators WAP gateway. In this case you
need to talk to your network operator to allow you access to IP addresses
"in the wild".

Thanks Paul for the information below on fakewap.  After starting up my
tomcat web server, I tried "fakewap  (URL)" and the kannel wapaccess.log
shows:
2005-07-26 17:11:58 127.0.0.1 GET < http://(URL):8080/index.wml
<http://(url):8080/index.wml> > (text/vnd.wap.wml, charset='') 234 200 <>
<Apache-Coyote/1.1>   (note: i do have a real URL above)

core.log shows:
2005-07-26 17:12:28 [31757] [0] INFO: Total WDP messages: received 5, sent 2
found the URL ok.
 
i.e., kannel wap looks good.  But when I try to tap in to my kannel wap
server with my Motorola v120e wap enabled phone, configured to launch the
URL above, and use port 9201,  I get "server not responding". Questions on
phone configuration: Is setting the  "user ID" and "Password" needed? i
don't have these set.  "Confirmation" (off/on)? - i left this off) "Cache
Start-up" (On/Off?) i have it set to on currently). 
 
Thanks for any tips.
 
Regards,
steve

There will be fakewap binary after you do make somewhere in the tree.
Use it.

kannel users mailing list ? :)
