Re: questions about my IP

10.11.246.114 is the IP address assigned to your handset.
10.11.246.115 is an address of the GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node).

GGSN is the GPRS equivalent of a NAS/RAS in the circuit switched dial-in world.

Your phone has a point-to-point connection with the GGSN.
Your PC has a serial connection with your handset. The PC can control the handset via at-commands, similar to a modem.

192.168.66.2 is most likely an internal hop or interface of the GGSN. Secure design would have hidden that ...

Hope this helps,

Eric

Hi,
I am new to this GPRS connection, usually when i
need internet access i just use dial up connection.
Then i found cheap internet connection using GPRS,
its like using hand phone (cellular phone), and i bet
this cellular phone has a modem in it.
When i typed "ipconfig /all" on my server (i have
home LAN, and server is using xp sp 2), then something
show like :
 ================================
 PPP adapter lll:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN
(PPP/SLIP) Interface
         Physical Address. . . . . . . . . :
00-c-c-c-c-c
         Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
         IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . :
10.11.246.114
         Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . :
255.255.255.255
         Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
10.11.246.114
         DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : x-x-x-x
                                             x-x-x-x
         NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Disabled
 ====================================
then i click my connection status windows, and i can see something like : server IP Address : 10.11.246.115
 client IP address : 10.11.246.114
================================== My first question is :
 Who's 10.11.246.114 and who's 10.11.246.115 ? i keep
thinking that 10.11.246.114 is my server (my box with windows xp sp 2) and 10.11.246.115 is my handphone, is it right ? and everytime i do the tracert or traceroute, i got 192.168.66.2 in my first hop (i got 192.168.66.2 in second hop if i do traceroute in client), it's seem 192.168.66.2 is a router, isnt it ? If you have good article/tutorial for dummies about
GPRS connection, i'll be glad if i get informed
thanks
