Install a debian Chroot, and use apt-get install. So long as you don't need a Native UI, then you have the entire debian ARM repository available to you. I've run AXIS/MAVEN on my handsets for SOAP interactive applications. Works fine. Yeah... battery life - not really in scope ;-) On 2 August

Hi, This depends on your network provider, some/most? NAT / FIREWALL / BLOCK the IP address so you can't connect to the device over the cellular network. One of the two provider I use does not nat / firewall / block the IP address so I can connect ok. But as others have said you typically do t

To be completely honest, I thought the OP was going the other way: upstream, not downstream. Does tethering also allow server support? kris On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 9:01 PM, Nikolay Elenkov wrote: > On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 4:19 AM, njman wrote: >> pinging doesn't work. >> >> the reason for this c

njman, Let's look at the problem from a technical perspective. Have you tried pinging the IP address? The provider may disallow ICMP traffic, however you could call them up and request that they enable it for this IP address temporarily. They may say "no," but it's worth a shot at least. If y
