Joerg and Paul et. al.,
 
Thanks for your responses.
 
Sorry about the very long delay in responding - I have been out of pocket.  I would like to test out first whether my system is blocking out certain addresses. 
 
I am looking down in /etc/xinetd.d and found the file "telnet". which only allows in certain addresses.  I have no telnetd daemon running so if WAP needs this, it would be problem #1. (I'm guessing WAP doesn't need this daemon??) This system is hightly secured, so it could be that I don't have the daemon(s) running that WAP needs. 
 
In sum, I could use help on these specifics: For RH Enterprise, which daemon(s) need to be running for WAP and which file(s) are the ones to add IP's to if required (are the files in /etc/xinet.d/)?  Thanks.
 
Regards

Well, firewall rules on your RH system might be a problem. As to the IP-Address: GPRS IP addresses will be assigned on demand by the network. If you phone gets a public address, this would be the address you need to allow. Since this address is unpredictable, you will have to open the WAP port for all addresses. If your provider implements some kind of NAT at the border between the internal GPRS backbone and the Internet, than you will have to add the address of the(se) NAT host(s).
 
But all this assumes, that your provider allows you at all to directly access hosts on the internet. Some providers lock you into their private network. In this case you can only use the providers WAP gateways to access WAP sites. This might be anything on the internet or just a few selected services.

Hi Jorg,
 
Greatly appreciate your response here.  Are you referring to something like a "firewall" or simply a need to open up permissions for additional IP(s)?  The wap server is a RH Enterprise system.  Would you happen to know which files I need to edit to permit my wap phone to tap in, assuming it is blocking me?  Dumb question:  which IP(s) would I need to add to the "access" list on the wap server?
 
TIA,
Steve

Are you sure that you can actually reach the machine running Kannel? Some operators provide a "walled garden" solution where IP connectivity is restrictet to the network with the operators WAP gateway. In this case you need to talk to your network operator to allow you access to IP addresses "in the wild".

Betreff: Re: can't get motorola v120e phone to talk to my kannel wap server (1.4.0)

Thanks Paul for the information below on fakewap.  After starting up my tomcat web server, I tried "fakewap  (URL)" and the kannel wapaccess.log shows:
2005-07-26 17:11:58 127.0.0.1 GET <http://(URL):8080/index.wml> (text/vnd.wap.wml, charset='') 234 200 <> <Apache-Coyote/1.1>   (note: i do have a real URL above)
core.log shows:
2005-07-26 17:12:28 [31757] [0] INFO: Total WDP messages: received 5, sent 2 found the URL ok.
 
i.e., kannel wap looks good.  But when I try to tap in to my kannel wap server with my Motorola v120e wap enabled phone, configured to launch the URL above, and use port 9201,  I get "server not responding". Questions on phone configuration: Is setting the  "user ID" and "Password" needed? i don't have these set.  "Confirmation" (off/on)? - i left this off) "Cache Start-up" (On/Off?) i have it set to on currently).
 
Thanks for any tips.
 
Regards,
steve

There will be fakewap binary after you do make somewhere in the tree.
Use it.

kannel users mailing list ? :)
