all compression options tested (all 16 of them. (on/off for 4 types)), none gave me an IP address.

You have to either request and IP or not request and IP. That would be setting one or setting 0.0.0.0. If you don't specify any, it probably defaults to 0.0.0.0.

It is still looking like the other end is not liking what you are requesting, can you monitor what the windows box is sending to find out all the options it requests?

I don't know. what would I use? a packet sniffer? I'll see what I can drag up, but I really have no idea, since most of my nefarious use takes place under *nix.

Since you were able to verify username and password from the windows side, I figured might have some way to pull out more. In the mean time, I'm about out of ideas and I have not had a cingular card in almost a year, so I don't have anything to experiment with.

any idea where I could go, to get more help?

I used google when I figured out the original stuff I posted.

Things to search for include username, password for WAP cards and negotiation of options.

One thing I found helpful was to search for some of the AT command that I stumbled across. That often gives you more scripts and info for doing similar things.

ok, I had some sim card issues, but I finally got it working again under Windows.
I then went poking around, looking for log files. I didn't find any, but I did find default configurations for certain networks.

Cingular's had the wrong UN/PW/APN for what I am doing, but I was looking at the dns address requests, and compression stuff, and cingular doesn't like either one. No compression, header or data. DNS address was not even set to 0.0.0.0; it was blank (some had 0.0.0.0, some had other stuff, cingular was blank). That stuff, I know how to disable. I'm still looking for a way to disable the request of a specific IP address, if it is going to be "any"

just thought I would update.

Thank you for your help thus far.

The way to request any address is to leave it blank. You can specify your_ip:remote_ip. In most of the examples, only a remote ip is specified, so it looks like :remote_ip.
