Your GPRS provider may be limiting your exposure to the Internet.

I have the following situation i cannot figure out how to solve.
I need to have the foxboard to be reached from the internet using the
GPRS link, simple as that. I have my foxboard flashed with dynamic IP
and a connection with GPRS. I am now able to ping from inside
foxboard to this outside IP, but still cannot reach this IP from
internet. There must be something wrong with route i should set.
Here is what i did:
* started the foxboard with dynamic IP, now i got the internal IP
from my router:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:8C:16:85:25
inet addr:192.168.254.4 Bcast:192.168.254.255

here is the actual IP route:

* Followed the Tanzilli instructions to delete the route, now i have:

0 eth0
* I am able to keep the telnet connection with the private IP
* I can ping from the foxboard:
ping 189.88.28.174
189.88.28.174 is alive!
* from the internet (my linuxbox) not (even http):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ping 189.88.28.174
PING 189.88.28.174 (189.88.28.174) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 189.88.28.174 ping statistics ---
27 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 25994ms
What i am doing wrong or missing?
Any suggestion would be really appreciated.
Best regards,
Alexander
