PPP and GPRS Modem

Hi!

I am using a ChipworkX, and a EMX devboard together with two modems: the Airlink GL 6110 and the Siemens MC35i.

In any combination (devboard and modem) establishing a PPP connection works fine.
Therefore I am using a slightly modified version of your PPP class demo code from the SDK manual (ATcommander, etc.)
Here are the AT commands which I printed out in the output window:

PPP Network settings:
IP Address: 10.102.121.197

Default Getway: 192.168.254.254
DNS Server: 81.3.216.100[/quote]

As you can see, I have an IP address. Now I tried to send the IP address as a string from the devboard to a console application which runs on my laptop, so that the laptop can answer with a “hello world” or something like that.

Using sockets, the server receives that message - it works like a charm. However sending back a “hello world” does not work, though I have a socket bound to “0.0.0.0” port 80 on the devboard. (I thought using 80 would be best to walkaround any firewall issues ;-))

Additionally, I cannot ping my device from my laptop using the aforementioned IP address.
When I do a tracert in command line, my router does not know where to route that IP address to:

Can you see what I am doing wrong? It seems as if the device tells me to have an IP address that does not exist…

Please help! I do not know what do try next anymore…

The micro framework only support one IP interface at a time. If you have PPP going, the ethernet interface will not be active.

Could that be your issue?

It seems that your ISP is providing a private IP (not public)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

So EMX can access the internet, but the Internet(server) can not find EMX because it’s IP is private.

You need to call your ISP and ask for a Real IP (public IP) reservation for your account.

The default gateway address also looks funny?

Thank you - you were right: the default gateway and the ip address provided by my telecom provider are private addresses. Therefore the devboard must open the connection and cannot be reached otherwise :slight_smile:

Thank you guys :slight_smile:
