Hi,

one point more nealry fixed on my way to support Lenovo X200T with eComStation 2:

someone ;-) did help me to modify usmbcom.sys so for now I can use the internal HSPA Modem of the Lenovo X200T with eComStation without a trap in USBCOM while starting a browser!

Thinks still need to be modified:

I guess these happen because I may have wrong settings for Injoy:

- I need to buy online time for this (PrePaid) - in Windows I once I start the connection will be automatically forced to the Internetsite where I have to buy this - in eComStation there is no "automatic way" and I still did not found the IP of the site (DNS Problem?)

- I can contact to 139.7.147.41 (the IP of Vodafone (I did buy Onlinetime before through Windows)) but the browaser tells a security error once I use http://www.... instead of IP (DNS problem??!)

But all in all I can say - YES - it works!!!!


See Picture Please:

Try adding an entry into the hosts table for the domain/web address. That should hopefully resolve the error.

Best,
Robert

Hi Robert,

thanks for this - but this does not work. I have to go to event.vodafone.de first, but this site does not have an IP address so I am not able to write something in the hosts file.

As far as I understand - once I try to connect to the APN event.vodafone.de I do get automatically an "own" IP Adress, and usually it should automatically connect to the DNS 139.7.30.126 or 139.7.30.125. Sometimtes I do get the right "own" adress like one in the 10.0 xyz range, but if I leave "Destiantion address" blank I get 255.255.255.255 as destination IP.

As you may read between the lines this all is something beyond my mind. I tried everything I was able to figure out, but as long as there is no one who is familiar with INJOY or ISDNPM or ecsonet - I will stay at 99%... It seems to me "just" to find the right configuration parameters, I am able to "see" the 3G Modem, I am able to switch it on, to pass PIN barrier, to establish a connection - but I am not able to solve the DNS problem.... :-\ ???

Thanks though!

Sigurd

By the way: one more of the remaining two projects is already on its way - the Webcam support ... ;-)

event.vodafone.de  has a problem :-)

[I:\]host event.vodafone.de
event.vodafone.de mail is handled by 100 mx.uc.vodafone.de.

No IP is returned, just MX info. I could look further with nslookup but it would simply tell me that the DNS record for that domain has an error, and that Vodafone needs to get it fixed.

And this is from Australia, using a DNS server that does lookup's directly from root servers.

Cheers

Hmmm... seems it must be doing it's own DNS setup/entry on the non-OS/2 side. Is there an entry in the Windows hosts file? Or what happens, when successfully connected in Windows, if you open a command prompt and type "ping event.vodafone.de"?

Best,
Robert

Windows DNS has always been broken in its implementation, especially in as far as hiding setup mistakes, nothing new there, a bit like IE, ie, it works fine in IE but doesn't in Netscape/Firefox etc so the company concerned reassures everyone there is no problem :-)

From OS/2 (Same from AIX) using Bind v9.7.2 host.exe etc

[H:\]ping event.vodafone.de
ping: unknown host event.vodafone.de

From WindowsXP SP3, event.vodafone.de = 151.189.21.148

There is no problem, it works fine  ;D

May be you need to look into the \MPTN\ETC\RESOLV2 file since it contains nameserver ip addresses.

nameserver 139.7.30.126
nameserver 139.7.30.125
