which type of connection do you want to use? the wlan interface usually lists as "wlan0" in ifconfig.
if you want to connect over 3G to your phone - that's probably not going to work, since you don't get a public IP address over 3G.

if the address you mentioned (10.77.247.53) is from the 3G interface (it's called "gprs0" on my device), it definately isn't going to work, because 10.* is a private network, typical for 3G connections.
