Re: 3 mobile broadband - roaming...

Currently I am in ROI where 3 have a network and consequently I can
roam for free on this, according to their instructions. I called them
beforehand and set up international roaming on the account.

I get a good 3 network signal where I am located, in fact it is better
than most locations in the UK as the mast is near the house where I am
staying. I can connect the modem to the network fine, but when I try to
load webpages or run any other internet connected programs I get "the
page cannot be displayed". I can ping 127.0.0.1 and the default
gateway. I cannot ping any IP address on the internet. Any ideas
what the problem is here?

Many Thanks

Try running IPCONFIG /ALL in a command window. What is the default
gateway? Are there DNS servers there, and can you ping them? You might
like to post the results:

Am able to ping my own IP and the default gateway. I cannot ping the DNS
or WINS servers (request timed out)


Looks fine. Are you on PAYG? Have you double checked on your 3 account to
make sure that you have not run out of credit, or have not gone over one
month without buying more credit? IIRC, www.three.co.uk should still work
even when you have run out.
