Connecting To Net With Wap

[Steve-O]

Has anyone tried rigging a Mobile phone that has Wap upto the GP32's EXT Port??? I remember ages ago on the GP32 Homepage a picture showing this but I dont think it ever happened...

So is it possible?

What about connecting a Data Cable to the phone and then to the GP32' EXT port ??

I find that the problem with putting my phone near my GP if somebody calls me the screen hates it (its exactly the same as if I happens to a computer monitor). I'm not sure about the intricacies of making it work, but I doubt the screen going crazy is good for the GP.

is that a BLU or FLU or Non Lit??

My Blu is fine with the Phone near it, the only thing it does is that annoying sound in the speakers

Maybe if its connected with a long wire so you can have the phone in your pocket??

WAP = Wireless Access Point?

If so, all the phone needs is a unique MAC address, and it would provide the connection.
I have a USB Wireless 802.11b antenna and a Wireless-B router, and I was wondering if the gamepark could be adapted to use it through linux or for various games, actually.

How do I find the MAC address of my phone? I think it might not be unique...

No, WAP as in the (ancient, trashy, slow) cellphone data transfer protocol. I don't think they have MAC addresses anyway (that's more of an ethernet thing). I would assume it would go by system IDs or something similar to that.

But, no, you won't be able to get wireless ethernet working that way.

Ethernet is the cabled system, I know nothing of the cellular network system. Sorry I can't be any help there then.

 

[ravuya]

Errrr, wi-fi (802.11b) is wireless ethernet, it's virtually identical to wired and still uses MAC addresses.

 

[Steve-O]

well they have an IP address, I know that

It's a BLU, it's fine with the phone next to it, as long as it dosen't take an incoming or outgoing call or text.
