Not connecteble Nokia N97 as modem

[Jwvdven]

Hello, I have the following problem.

I use my nokia n97 cellphone as usb modem for internet.

The provider is globe.ph

I forwarded the port in my windows and if I connect the laptop thrue a wifi spot there is no problem.

But as soon as I use internet by my cell phone as modem I get the not connecteble messeage that a router or firewall is blocking connections.

I'd search on the internet for a long time already but can't find any information or topic about this problem that was helpfull to me.

Does anyone got a idea what I can do about this problem or where to get info about it?

I wil be very thankfull for all that will help.

Mobile internet is very often blocked on all ports but 80 and 443, There's nothing you can do without access to the WAP (which is owned by your phone company)

Thank you for the reply.

So I probebly can stop searching for a solution.

It's highly unlikely you will ever get a proper connection through a cell-phone tether. A wired/dsl connection is much more suitable for bittorrent communication anyways.

Yes I know, but I'm dutch but living in the Philippines. They will not give a regular internet connection.......

Satellite internet may be another alternative. It's similar priced to mobile, and has bad latency, but ports are usually open and your bandwidth limits will be higher. Not sure if there are any providers out there.
