Connection Problems

[grim]

Having some connection problems tonight. When I connect to the internet using either my phone (Nokia N78) as a modem or my e220 modem with the same sim it connects but I can't browse to any pages. But if I can browse the internet on the phone. I've changed my DNS servers on my pc to the Open DNS ones, connection working fine now. I live in PTA east - Elardus Park. Also noticed that when I'm browsing on the phone i get a 196 ip address and when I'm on the pc I get a 41 ip address.

I just had the same problem on 3G (prepaid).

Connected with no connection.

I left it and made a connection via 'network connections' by using the 3G dial up connection with the Vodaphone console open and it connected and I now im back...

Looks like your phone is set to the internetvpn apn? Maybe change it to internet.

On your PC, do an ipconfig/all and post the output here. I assume you're still using the non-VC DNS servers?
