Sorry, I’m not available on IM

Some of you have texted me about not answering my YM messages in the last 2 days. The truth is, I can’t connect to Yahoo! Messenger via Smart GPRS. Neither can I logon to GTalk, cPanel and WHM.

I’m not sure why but I think it has got to do with my GPRS connection. (Is there a fix to this?)

Sorry if you’ve been buzzing me and it may seem I am completely ignoring you. I’m not! I just don’t have them on the whole week. :)

Email might work but I can’t promise I can respond to all of them immediately. Maybe the more urgent ones. The rest will have to wait ’til I get back to Manila. ;)

Cheerio!

    Don’t use Smart GPRS … only ports that are open are ports 25, 110, 80 & 8080 among other things … Yahoo uses port 5050 which is closed to the GPRS ports.

    Use Smart Internet Access Point instead.

    If you don’t have it just set up a new access point with the access point name pointing to “internet”.

    That should about do it.

    P.S. Same goes for globe & sun as well .. the GPRS settings only accesses limited ports since it runs through their proxy servers. Use the Internet instead.

    @yuga
    if port 80 is open, you can try to enable “http proxy” under connection preferences on your YM.

    @lpn
    1. login to your router administration then “clone” the mac address (see documentation of your router) of the pc where smart bro is connected.

    2. configure your router to be the dhcp server and have all our pcs set to “obtain ip address”

    3. connect the smart bro cable to the “wan” (this may vary) of your router then connect other pcs to other ports of the router
