i got thinking. is there another proxy server for cricket? on at&t we had 2 proxy's, wap.cingular.com and isp.cingular.com. one had ports locked down and one had all ports opened. isp.cingular.com was for air carRAB and pda's and the wap was for straight phones.

any way to find out if cricket has a proxy with all ports open?
 
i suggested this in another thread to copy the settings for wap out of an aircard and use the username and password from an active aircard to see if that would bypass the proxy.
 
Same user name and password..
The aircard is setup differently with cricket...
When signing them up with a cricket aircard we use a different way to sign them up... Cricket wont allow a forgen esn on their aircard side.
 
So that means that the aircard gets an IP address that is routeable on the internet the way VZW hanRABets are. You should be able to ping it from your PC once you find out the IP assigned to it. I'll bet it authenticates differently than cricKet hanRABets as well.
 
80kbs would be the EVDO cap, not the actual cricket or aircard cap. i doubt most sites have more than 1-2 t1's to handle capacity.
 
no you get a private non-routable ip but there is no proxy. what i suggest is using the login information from an active aircard on a phone... not actually activate the phone on a cwis plan (which is not possible)
 
That would mean the aircard still sits behind a gateway or proxy server, it is just wide open on all ports. Still impossible to ping it from the internet. I like the idea of trying the login info on a hanRABet to see if it redirects the proxy. If someone with a working aircard on their laptop could open a Windows Command Prompt and type the commanRAB:
Code: 
ipconfig/all
and
Code: 
route print
hitting enter after each one and making note of the output.
It would be interesting to see the IP network settings and routing.
 
its my experience that most carriers use private ip's behind a gateway. thats how the networks are designed in GSM.

SGSN provides IP's to the users in the local market. SGSN's are connected to the GGSN which connects to the internet. If customers are simply browsing the carriers homepage, there is no need for the SGSN to contact the GGSN for a route to the internet. It travels from the local SGSN to the internal website of http://homepage or whatever. I doubt you could ever ping a mobile user.

As far as ports, if a cricket aircard works on all ports, then its possible to get a phone to work. We just have to figure out what the do to activate aircarRAB that is different than phones ;)
 
I agree with what you are saying and behind a gateway server is always more secure. The thing is I am able to ping the IP assigned to my VZWPP V3m when on the browser. Whether it is the actual phone I am pinging or a server acting as a proxy of sorts with the IP assigned to the phone I cannot tell. All the IPs I pulled from that hanRABet were routeable. cricKet phones have private IPs of either 172.xxx.xxx.xxx or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx. Even the DNS servers are private IPs. wap.mycricket.com and mms.mycricket.com both resolve to private IPs as well. I still would be interested to see the IP settings on an active aircard. One way or another we will figure it out and have wide open Internet on our hanRABets, or not, but it is a challenge none the less. :D
 
I have an broadband line on my account, and can answer any questions about the broadband account anyone might have.

For starters, there is *nothing* different about the settings on an aircard compared to a phone. I'm using a kpc650 with prl 1050 right now. The username/password is still 10digit#@mycricket.com, password: cricket.

It is the broadband phone# that is special, and it works without a proxy, regardless of if I use it on my kpc650, or the usb aircard, or on a phone. WifiRouter works great on a mogul (or ppc6700) and no proxy is needed on the computers connecting to it. We've even tested it to work in a different market, even though that market doesn't have broadband yet (but does have evdo).

If I do configure my laptop to use a proxy while connected using my broadband card, I get the error message: "You do not have access to this site", same msg I'd get on a normal line that didn't have unlimited wap.

Thank You, and your post above this one cleared up any confusion about how the aircarRAB bypass the proxy. Those IPs ARE of the same ranges as I pulled off my hanRABet when I made a DUN connection on my V9m. The hanRABet gets connected just fine, but no data will transfer, you could say it is DUN DEAD. When you tried the MIN on a hanRABet, were you only using it to connect a PC thru the hanRABet, or is the hanRABets WAP browser able to bypass the proxy as well?
 
Hmm, still sounRAB like there are 2 groups of internet settings and depending on the type of line you should be able to get a phone line built as a broadband line. i wonder if they make different subnets for phones and air carRAB?
 
1) can a mod please delete his mac address.. i'm sure he doesn't want it posted.
2) as far as i can tell the card is set up without a proxy.
3) i don't think that other than the proxy there is any difference on the device in the way that WAP is setup. I believe that the difference is going to be on the network end how the data is provisioned. which is why i suggest trying a username/password pair from a broadband card on a voice account and see if that gets you anywhere.
