T-Mobile GPRS Google Googletalk

[penguinbait]

I have been having issues getting to google.com websites using t-mobile gprs. I got really pissed off and called tmobile and they passed along this website.

Its basically changing your MTU which bypasses whatever problem we are experiencing on the t-mobile gprs network. I tried this on windows xp following the above instructions, I set the MTU to 1492 and I could access google.com including mail.google.com, although it almost timed out, it did load after about 45 seconds.

I then tried this on the 770 and the 1492 did not work. I tried some high and low numbers randomly. I would always get google.com working but googletalk client would not log in, or vice versa. Then I would get both of them to work but maemo-mapper would not auto-download. I finally set the MRU to 777, and set the MTU to 777 and I could get to all google.com sites and I could still log into googletalk and chat, no voice, I am only gprs speed. and I can download maps from maemo-mapper.

This is the first time I have been able to get all this to work at the same time.

If anyone else out there has been having the same issue, I changed the file /etc/ppp/options

I added the following lines:

mru 777
mtu 777

Please let me know if this works for anyone else..

good luck ;) ...


NOTE - I obviously have not gone to every website you may want to visit, so if this stops access to you for another site please let me know.. But it seems to be working everywhere I seem to want to go....

What t-mobile plan are you using? Does this work on the 5.99 t-mobileWEB plan...which is just WAP? I'm able to check web pages...at dialup speed. But if this works with maemo mapper it might be useful while traveling.

Do you have to have sudo gainroot to edit that file?

I believe that is necessary, I had installed the becomroot package.

That worked like a charm. Now I can load blogs that have google's adsense on them and the pages don't hang anymore. Sweet! Thanks man!

Hi,
I am trying to use gmail with my Nokia 6682 phone and Nokia 770 ( with OS 2006).

I can connect to various websites using this setup, only hotmail and gmail does not work. I tried to edit etc/ppp/options. In order to do this I have installed Xterm and Vim. I think I am becoming ' root' since I have installed the 'becomeroot' package. I did not use the becomeroot2 configuration.
I become root by starting Xterm and typing 'sudo su-' . It shows Password , I simple hit " Enter ". When it comes to / $, I navigate to 'etc' then to 'ppp' then I type ' vi options ' to start the vi editor and try to edit the options file. The 'option' file opens up, I navigate to the end of it , hit Esc key on Nokia 770 and immediately I get an error that says that I am trying to write a read only file.

Is there any easy way to do this? Can someone walk me thru this step by step ? Am I really becoming root ? How to write the ' mru 777 ' and ' mtu 777 ' to the etc/ppp/options file. ? :confused: :confused:
