OpenDNS is just a DNS server; it resolves DNS requests. In other words, it just translates alphanumeric URLs into IP addresses. If your IRC server is blocking your T-Mobile gateway server then changing your DNS server is not going to make a difference.
You might try setting up your IRC client on a linux box on an unblocked network (e.g. at home, work or school) and use ConnectBot to ssh into it.

Hi everyone,
I bought an MDA Vario III on T-Mobile UK yesterday and setup email so I can send and recieve my Freedom 2 Surf POP3 email wherever I am.
I want to use T-Mobile GPRS/3G when I am out and about then switch to my ADSL WiFi Router when I am at home.
Sending and recieving worked fine using GPRS/3G and an SMTP of smtp.t-email.co.uk
When I got home and connected to my Wireless router instead recieving was fine, BUT nothing would send. I changed the T-Mobile SMTP setting to Freedom 2 Surfs (outmail.f2s.com) and all was fine.
The problem is when I go out again and want to use T-Mobile GPRS/3G it wont send until I change the SMTP settings back to T-Mobiles.
don't want to keep changing each time I want to switch connection.
I have worked around it for now by setting up 2 email accounts, one for Wifi (with the Freedom 2 Surf SMTP settings) and one for mobile (with the T-Mobile SMTP settings) but this is not ideal and I keep using the wrong one!
Have others found this problem and if so can anyone suggest a better way round the problem?
Cheers

Try using your email providers smtp server (e.g. gmails is smtp.gmail.com)

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried that. It works with my wifi connection (which uses Freedom 2 Surf for broadband) but wont send when I use T-Mobile.
Any other ideas?
The issues is that most providers have their SMTP servers set to only allow relaying from a specific set of IPs (normally their customers), so that random spammers can't use their mail servers to relay spam out to the world. You'll need to find out if your home ISP's email server supports SMTP authentication, so that you can connect to it with a username and password and it will then allow you to relay mail normally as if you were connecting from one of its authorized valid IPs.

Thanks for the reply explodinglemur. I figured that was the case as I've had trouble with SMTP settings on old handsets when changing sim & network.
I would be interested to hear how others get round this problem. Currently I have one account setup for syncing my F2S email with Outlook, another so I can send/receive my F2S email whilst mobile (using tmobile smtp settings) and a final one so I can send/receive my F2S email using wifi at home.
I am sure there must be a better way to setup email so I can lose one of the accounts?

What I do is I run sendmail on port 587 and configure SMTP to talk to my own mailserver at that port (e.g. smtp.infernix.net:587 in the smtp server config). This way no ISP filtering of port 25 gets in the way.
This does require AUTH SMTP. Configuring your mailserver is beyond the scope of this forum
I also had to setup a secondary SMTP port on my mail server because many ISP lock down TCP port 25 only to their own SMTP server.
You would need to find out if Freedom 2 Surf has/allows a secondary TCP port for this.
Hi all,
The proxy server is used in wireless system at my work. I enabled proxy server configuration in communication manager and i can connect web sites with internet explorer.
My question is, while i am unable to connect windows live messenger, there're also no proxy configuration on it. Are tehere any way to use messenger through proxy server ?
Or, i guess Windows Live for Windows Mobile is brand application came with WM6.0. Do you know may i use old messenger versions via proxy? Or do you know any other msn client with proxy support ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
you can setup the proxy in live messenger
I couldnt find any place to enter a proxy address in messenger. Could you please tell me where can i enter the proxy?
hey, I connect through a proxy for all my internet (using tmobile usa), and I was never able to figure out how to use windows live via proxy. however to download my hotmail emails I finally found a work around. you have to upgrade ur hotmail account to hotmail plus (20 dollars/year). now u have access to pop settings and set up a new email account using those settings (not through windows live) good luck
omar
I do not care mails, i even dont use hotmail for mailing.
i need to instant messaging to keep talking with my girlfriend.
You can't use a proxy server to access WLM Service from your Pocket PC. It simply doesn't support this.
The way that the client communicates with the Messenger service greatly differs when using a proxy, and support for this is not available in the mobile client. You NEED to create a direct connection, which thus prevents you from connecting in networks where using a proxy server (HTTP or SOCKS) is mandatory.
My mobile connected to Wifi but I couldnot surf WEB cause I didn't know how to setting up
my working Proxy via port 8080.
Help me!
Same problem here, but a little diferent.
I connect to the proxy server in my office network trough wireless access point, and then it asks me for the user credentials. I put in the credentials (i have an unrestricted account, i'm one of the administrators) but then it keeps asking me for them as if i had used wrong credentials! Are there any configuration on the proxy server to accept WM6.1 connections?
Thank's!
I am trying to run one of the many FTP servers available for Windows Mobile (vxFTPSrv or ShareIT FTP) to keep some files in sync but I can't seem to figure out what public IP address my phone has. vxFTPSrv says it is listening to a non-routable 10.**** while whatismy ip says it starts with a 200.**** while DynDNS for Windows Mobile says it is 32.****. Nevertheless, none of these work nor can I get these programs to listen to the ports. Any ideas? Does the Tilt even get a public IP address from AT&T? Thanks.
Try this
I'm no pro, but had to tell the Physical address to the the tech guy at my university so he could enable my phone o use the wireless network...
... anyways, download and install a Registry Editor (I use Task Manager v2.8) you should be able to access an Ipconfig tab, where all the information is available.
I don't know if I'm in the right track.... Hope this helps? =)

your pda have an ip address
using wifi router the uplink sees the routers ip
using an isp the internet sees the isp's assigned ip

Another good one I use is Iper Suite.

For casual use the first one is probably satisfactory.
IPer is worth buying for the increased functionality and has a TFTP client.

200.* would be a public IP. As would 32.*
Turn off your proxy setting in the phone and do the www.whatismyip.com thing. That will get you a more meaningfull result than anything else.
When I'm on GPRS/Edge (AT&T proxy settings in force) network I get a 66.102.186.15 IP address as reported by whatismyip.com. That resolves to alpmagr1fe06-dmz.mycingular.net. Which should be a att proxy server even tho it implies by its name its on a DMZ.
When I turn off the proxy for GPRS/Edge I get 166.195.188.15 according to whatismyip.com. That IP address will not respond to ICMP commands. So I assume it is firewalled. So it seems to me that yes you CAN and DO get a public IP address, its just that address is heavily firewalled.
You've piqued my interest, tho I cannot do anymore testing at this moment.
(Don't blame me for being long-winded, I'm just explaning the situation (why I want to do all these) and also to prevent people from asking questions such as "Why do you even want to host your website at home?")
I want to pay for web hosting, but, as a student, I can't. I also want to host all my Android Development on my site, apart from XDA and Samdroid. But, I can't use a credit card (obviously, my country dosen't allow ownage of CCs before 21), and free web hosts (sorry for shouting) S*CK. Slow loading, banning because of CPU-hogging/ too many cron jobs, etc, etc... Also, my parents are paranoid about their credit card details being sold online at exorbitant prices. I do understand that web hosting is expensive, and it is not really wise to allow free web hosting, and I do not want to blame them for banning me, hence I decided to host my website from home. *catches breath* I do have some prior knowledge of fixing stuff, and whipping old parts into one lean mean computing machine. I've set up the computer, and configured my router. I can view the web site (It's good'ol wordpress) when I typed my local IP into the web browser from another computer in the home network. But, when I tried to access using the public IP from my school, I cannot enter the site. I have previously configured port-forwarding. I used No-IP's dynamic DNS client in this case. When I checked my public IP using different websites, all gave me different information. One gave me an IP with 255.244.***.***, another gave me 157.209.***.***, and others gave me 255.250.***.***
1) How do I make sure that when someone types in a URL or IP, it will show me what I want them to show?
2) Why are different websites give me different public IPs? No, I don't have a firewall, or a proxy.
We need more information:
1. Who is your internet provider
2. How do you connect? ADSL/SDSL/T1/Dial up?
3. If its ADSL/SDSL then you'll have a router (unless they've given you a USB modem for it). We'll need to know what type.
4. What's your concection speed, both down and more importantly up.
Now, assuming your ISP doesn't give you web space that you could use, then you'll need the following:
You'll need a dynamic dns service, some are free.
You'll need a router which can forward http (TCP port 80) traffic from the internet to your web server.
Once the router is forwarding http traffic to the web server, people on the internet will be able to access your website.
If you want to access it using the same address then you'll have to update your hosts file on your computer.
For windows this is in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add an entry like:
dynamic dns web address IP address of webserver
So if you've set up arikyeo.dyndns.org and your webserver's internal IP address is 192.168.0.200 then you'd add the following to the hosts file:
arikyeo.dyndns.org 192.168.0.200

I used No-IP dynamic DNS service, with their client. But, it didn't work. I am using Singtel as my ISP, with a Linksys B/G router. I have forwarded the port 80 to the IP, and set port 80 as an exception. I can view the site locally, but not from the outside world.
Setup your no ip on their site as a port 80 forward. Forward this to the local port on your computer that you are using for the server. Log into your router and port forward the same port that you put in for the no ip into the from and to ports section and be sure its forwarding to your lan ip. After this is done then try it.

I see that you have already been told how best to start your server. I can also recommend instructions for collecting server statistics https://www.host-tracker.com/Blog/server_m/ This will come in handy for you in the future. Here you can configure notifications for server failures.
Someone found the backgrounds here: https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/home
So here's an idea, setup local DNS to route that domain to a local machine running an HTTP server, then put up your own page. The idea is to have your own backgrounds. Any idea if this would work?

That sounds like it would work. I don't know much about all that stuff, but it sounds like it's possible..
oh, and btw..when you right click and Inspect Element...you can see that it's just a javascripted page that cycles images from
<https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/background1.jpg> ---thru--- <https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/background11.jpg>
I believe this could work, however the only option that Im aware of is to redirect the entire clients3.google.com domain to a local IP via local DNS. However, I dont think anyone knows what else is being hosted by clients3.google.com, so while this may work for your backgrounds, it could cause issues with other Chromecast or Google functions....
If anyone is aware of alternate method to redirect a specific web application on a LAN, then let me know and Ill set this up ASAP and report back.

I think it could be accomplished by mucking with DNS and then setting up a forwarding proxy server and web server. On the web server host all of those 11 backgrounds. On the proxy server have it fetch first from that web server and if it failed forward to the real DNS address for that server.
They're all at https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/ so you would think it shouldn't be too hard.
Is there any new information on the topic? I just want to load my own web-page (with google calendar and other useful information) on the chromecast in sleep mode... any experience?
