Internet traffic goes across severel different ports, similar to lanes of traffic. Web traffic typically goes across on port 80. PuTTY uses SSH which uses port 22. Because cell phones typically only have web browsing, they only need port 80. So the company may decide to limit the type of traffic allowed especially since tethering is still a hot subject, and usually not allowed. On Nov 6, 2010 7:45 AM, "Peter T.
