Vodafone is trying to get people to use the other APNs, because "internet" was a test APN with a limited number of IP addresses available. They have changed the www.vodafone.net.nz to give a public IP address instead of NAT. It's still restricted to outbound connections only.

A HUGE issue.

I updated the list last week on request of VFNZ: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=40&topicid=9780

Thanks Mauricio - much appreciated. However the constant changes of APN names and VF's definition of "broadband" being somewhat different to mine finally got to me and we cancelled all but one of our VF accesses. On the other hand Telecom XT rocks along nicely and where it struggles we add a 27dBi aerial or go to satellite. We had to ask about XTs APNs but they don't seem to change and really really work well. Even the broadcasters are using XT now for live News feeds. We also use Telecom's CDMA as EVDO Rev A and it also rocks along with no IP filters. It also works with our 27dBi aerial. As an aside we (almost) regularly get fill-in work doing video conferences for folks who either want it at short notice, or in a place with limited resources. VC work is traditionally ISDN based (remember that stuff ?) and clients leave it too late to get circuits. So XT runs a 256k or 384k VC session very nicely and the 8GB data caps last a few more days than the old 1GB stuff. To make the VC work we don't want any filter stuff in the way. Just the bandwidth Man, just the bandwidth. R
