This may be of some use to some user. My home internet ISP wont connect to linuxcnc.or or gnipsel.com.
But I remembered my phone uses a different ISP and quickly got onto to both sites on the Android phone. So heres the tip : Use your cell phone as a tethered connection. Disable any connection between computer and router ( routes are blocked on wifi and on ethernet) Remove the computer's ethernet cable and disable wifi on the computer. (this was just to convince myself that the phone was really the source) for my Android phone... under connected devices | usb | choose this device AND usb tethering ( choose what the usb connection does ) under network & internet | hotspot & tethering | usb tethering ON ( make the phone an internet source ) under network & internet | WiFi OFF ( this stops the phone from using my router's wifi ) else it just uses my wifi which is blocked just as the ethernet is blocked--- WiFi OFF will use C.A.T. (Communications Authority of Thailand) service on phone! which is NOT blocked On my system the connection was automatic after attaching phone usb to computer usb Unfortunately xfce will call the new connection 'wired connection1' , this can be confusing ( same name as the cable connection) But if the cable is out and wifi disabled , then any successful browsing is thru the phone. works for me :-) HTH tomp _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
