Yup still here... (easy with a news reader ;-)
A couple linked to here:
You could install a proxy like sygate or wingate on the PC, setup a port forward on your router and let the phone get to the virgin newsserver via that route.
No problem - glad it helped.
Sorry buddy, I was doing that before and getting told that my replies were hard to follow, as the threading was up the wall... but point taken :)
Agreed.
Thanks. Am using this provider now, so hopefully this will get sent?
Cheers, Dean
Occasionally, eternal-september get slow, but I'd give them a 9/10 which is not bad for a free service.
Yup you can't win! ;-)
Just like a real one!
Woo hoo! Access to uk.d-i-y on the move... And no damn gremlins to piss people off (hopefully)
:)
We will have to find something else to moan about then ;-)
BTW, you might want to munge your "from" address to save collecting too much spam on it. This group seems to get scraped by a number of web based front ends looking for free content to sell adverts.
There's always something else to moan about ;-)
Oh do stop moaning! ;-)
Thanks. I do seem to have had more than my average spam quota of late! Is my 'from' now 'munged' enough? Btw: hope you don't mind the slight plagiarism for my real address? ;)
some from here.
That would work at home but not for on the move.
It might if you use dyndns.org
Yup, anything that alters it to a non working address will do. If you want folks to be able to contact you directly, then you will need some form of human readable address in a signature or similar.
Nope, help yourself ;-)
Yup, if you have a static IP then it ought to work anywhere - the phone is told to go to a news server running on *your* PC. From there is gets redirected to the one available to virgin BB customers.
Without a static IP, then you can still get round it if your router can use dyndns - that way it maintains a name to IP mapping, and the phone can still visit a static "name" which will resolve into your varying IP.
Hmmnnn. Now something else I'll have to try and do :)
