R – Is it possible to use private IP address on GPRS connection

gprsnetworkingwindows-mobile

I need to connect my Windows Mobile 5.0 phone to the WAVECOM Q2686 processor acting as a server. The problem is I don't have a public IP address for the server side.

I tried to solve it by using the CSD dial-up connection, where the all you need is phone number of the server and you can use any IP you want. But as of now I couldn't achieve it on my shitty piece of Windows Mobile phone :/.

As my knowledge of GPRS and GSM is generally slim, I went back to the previous option of using GPRS. Maybe it is possible to use private IP addresses on such connections? But I know too little of GPRS workings to be aware of such possiblity?

Many thanks in advance.

PS. As an additional info – both the phone and the server reside in the same base station area.

You need to talk to your provider to get a fixed IP address.

Although you can set it for a dial up connection, doesn't mean it will work. This is totally independent of the system you are using.

With most providers, this is no free service!
