TCP connection problem

tejaswini · 04-29-2009

Hi,

I am trying to connect to a remote server through socket connection from Blackberry Pearl 8100 device.

I am not able to connect.

I have set APN name provided by service provider.

Also, i am passing "deviceside=true" in url for direct tcp connection. I am not able to connect to server.

What can be done? Please help...

what exception do You get?

were you able to set the APN in you device options? it's either you set the apn specifics under device options or you can append it in you url.

Any exceptions getting generated?

Is teh remote server you trying to access is on public IP? Is the same code working on Simulator?

IO Exception is thrown. The server has a public IP address. My url is as follows:

"socket://ip : port;deviceside=true";

And through simulator I am able to exchange data successfully.

Also, how do I append APN settings in url?

Something like this....

socket://iport;deviceside=true;apn=apn.com;TunnelAuthUsername=uid;TunnelAuthPassword=password

TunnelAuthUsername and TunnelAuthPassword is required for few operators.

socket://iport;deviceside=true;apn=apn.com

I guess this is related to the GPRS data plan on your device. Have you checked with any other SIM?

can you try to validate your sim card with your operator if it has a right data plan? can you try browsing using RIM browser?
