I compiled the tinyproxy (http://tinyproxy.sourceforge.net/) for A1200, with it, I can connect to internet by usbnet from my PC use the A1200's GPRS connection.

Overview
This app is useful for this who want to use the phone as a GPRS modem, and don't know how to make A1200 as a GPRS modem. with this tools, you do not need to install software on your PC.

Use tinyproxy, you can connect your computer to the phone by USBNET( so, usbnet is needed), then just launch tinyproxy, set the phone's usbnet IP address (eg: 192.168.1.2/192.168.16.6 etc) and port defined in the config file (default: 888 as your browser proxy. Then you can access internet.





How to Install:

uncompress the package to the root of your card, edit the config file ( /mmc/mmca1/tp/tp.conf ) ,then run tp.sh to launch tinyproxy ( either with linloader or ekonsole etc.).

For china mobile user who use CMWAP: uncomment the following line in the config file:

Upstream 10.0.0.172:80

How to use:

1. connect your PC to phone by usbnet. Set proxy for your browser (Firefox or M$ IE).
2. launch tinyproxy on your phone.
3. launch the browser on your phone ( This is need to make a GPRS connection.)
4. Surf -

Can we do it vice versa as if

PC internet ---> PHONE----> surf opera

Something like that???

Just a thought....

this is good. I 'll try to make it mpkg. for easy use.

[behdad]

my question is same as "desirascal"?
can we do it?

That is fricking awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Btw if anyone needs to tweak the proxy server setup in the conf file like I did, they'll need to keep killing the existing proxys that are running.

Just add this before the exec ... in the tp.sh file:

pids="$(pidof tinyproxy)"
[ -n "${pids}" ] && kill -9 ${pids}

Which nukes all the proxy instances just before starting tinyproxy..

wht can we do by this?

It allows you to use your phone's GPRS connection to access the internet from your PC. In other words, if you are in an area with no wireless you can still surf the web on your PC by connecting it to your phone and making use of your phone's GPRS connection.
