There might be a transparent proxy in use somewhere. By you on your device (e.g. Privoxy), or by your ISP.
Information about T-Mobile UK web 'n walk proxy.

>So, what would happen if I someone tried to connect to port 80 on O2 GPRS account?
Port 80 is a standard web port, so there should be no issue with GPRS connection via this port.
As you will be using a Web connection rather than a Wap connection, you will require a DNS address as opposed to Proxy address.
Question: are there users who successfully use O2's GPRS for Wayfinder traffic updates? Or for that matter, other networks in UK? I did try mate's 3 Network. Again no proxy - again no success.

I have web en walk Netherlands. And they don't block any ports howsoever. So the problem is wayfinder not my data connection.

Hi All,
I poped in just to see how things were going (waiting for my HTC HD).
I did not get any useful feedback from Wayfinder I'm afraid.
Just as an additional bit of info. I had to swap sim cards with my Wife (she got an iPhone and her 3 sim would not work on it).
Anyway, on 3, I was sometimes able to get updates. But it was a bit hit and miss. Some days it world consistantly fail, others it would consistantly work. Then I got bored of it all and sold it...
Not sure what that tells you exactly. Perhaps some clues around the use of Proxy or Caching by the ISP or something.
Having said that, I was only on the basic internet access plan. The one where you are only supposed to be using the internet on the phone itself. So it might be related to that. Don't know how they would be able to detect what I was doing and block it though.

After two long months of supplying Wayfinder engineers with detailed packet logs of Internet traffic in various scenarios for traffic update over GPRS thru mobile phone. Today I received this excuse for an email:
So as much use as a chocolate tea pot . Hesitate!? - would I even bother again given the lack of progress.
Does anyone have success updating traffic thru GPRS connections on O2 2G network in UK?
Dear sir,
This problem has been identified and brought into attention. I cannot give any comments on what might cause this problem and how different factors have a possible influence. At the moment, we donīt have any answers on when and if this particular issue will be solved. Usually bugs are fixed when Nokia releases a new firmware.
Donīt hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Did you pay for a license? If yes, I would ask for a refund.

Just to cross reference this, the new maemo patch out and about (OS2008 version 5.2008.43-7) still doesn't help me connect - see thread 'SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available'.
So Wayfinder continues to blow.
