Connection problems

[debug]

Hi All,

I have been struggling since yesterday connecting to vodacom 3g.hsdpa (via data card.) I've got signal (4/5 bars) here. I do get connected but I only seem to be sending data - not receiving. My connection icon in the right bottom corner only reports that 311 bytes of data has been received and then it stays like that. I do get an IP address (10.61.x.x) but can't surf or ping at all.

I had to connect with MTN GPRS now just to get online. I'm in the Brackenfell area. Any ideas ? Network problems maybe ?

Using MTN, what does vodacom4me.co.za say?

What area you in - its very difficult to judge a problem area if there is no location mentioned ....

I just tried to connect via my data card to Vodacom and get 619 errors... I am now on MTN - no problems and running on edge (no 3g on MTN or Voda)

its probly signal issues

when you have 2 out of 5bars then you have full connection (signal)

when yours is 4 out 5 does it say accuiring the whole time?

I'm getting 619's in Midrand at the moment, on the internet apn. Have escalated.

Fixed, posting from the internet apn.

No It's definetely not my settings. I'm only connecting at 236.8kbps, getting random disconnects and signal is suddenly much poorer (2.3/5 bars)

I'm in the Brackenfell (Cape Town) area.

I'm not using the VMC software anymore. I prefer the Hauwei software (coz it's quicker and more accurate) and if that doesn't work I just use the "3G Only/Preferred" connection from the Network connections menu.

only way for me to connect in Bloem area is by forcing a 3G connection as gprs only sends data and doesnt recieve anythin. now you may ask whats wrong but i dont need 3G as it use too much batt
