alternative WAP server down?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

For the last couple of months, I've been using the WAP server at
194.204.012.042:9201, mainly to access my Yahoo email.

Yesterday and today, all I can get is "Server not responding."

Is this server down, or has someone somehow blocked it from free use on
VZW, or from Yahoo?

Okay, I just tried pinging the server and it responded, as long as I didn't
try to append the port number.

Anybody?

Hi,

Just a thought - install teh Opera browser on your PC; it can natively
display wap sites. I use this to check if a WAP site is up or down.
You can then narrow down your problem. Most likely it was your WAP
proxy.

I went to the server directly without the port number straight with IE
(http://194.204.012.042/) Could the site have been redesigned and that
specific port is no longer correct?

Seems like typical, free WAP flakiness. Works with some pages like
7AM.com WAP news and the DonniC Gateway, but not Yahoo, on the west
coast. I also pay for Verizon WAP. Nice to see something else works,
at least partially, at the same time as a Verizon subscription. Was
wondering about that.

Hi,
Try IP: 194.204.12.42
Port: 9201

works for me.
