Thanks and that program is slick. It works with the IP address my phone has
on my WiFi network but I can not get it to work with the IP address on
Sprint's network.

To make a long story short

1. Sprint blocks ports so if I were to use it, I'd have to use it on a WiFi
Network so that limits it's use.

2. Because I could only get it to work with Main memory I wouldn't be able
be able to store very much on it so that limits how much data I could store
on it.

I think I'll call Cambridge Corp in the morning and see if there is a way to
get it to work with files on the Storage Card because making changes to the
/My Documents/vxWeb.txt file didn't help and if I were to ever use it, I'd
have to put all the files on a Storage Card.

Thanks again for the link because I learned Sprint blocks ports from it and
that explains why I can't get the DMZ port to work on WMWiFiRouter also.

Yes and no. I can run a mini web server on a pocket pc but I can't use the
cellular network because ports are blocked by Sprint and probably other
wireless carriers also.

What giant hassle? I found out everything I wanted to know in just a few
hours of testing.

If you noticed a post from me about 2 days ago I was messing with the latest
version of WMWiFiRouter. I wanted to setup a Web Server on my phone to
verify that ports are blocked and that is the reason I couldn't get the DMZ
to work on WMWiFiRouter the way it works on a normal router.

Many thanks to Werner for pointing me to vxWeb.

Today I decided I'd actually put a site up on vxWeb and found a 3rd problem.

3. Unlike WMWiFiRouter vxWeb can not go into power saving mode because it
will loose it's WiFi connection.

yup, most mobile service providers give out internal addresses by default,
meaning no inbound traffic.

If it's important that you access your stuff via a mobile connection,
there're some workarounds:

- if no HTTP is needed, LogMeIn has some packages for remote access.
- there may be other clients too
- Sprint may offer "server" or "business" data plans with fix and fully
opened IP's

Might it be possible to use a different port?
