I have to send all my results back using a mobile broadband stick, moving it between multiple PC's. I would love all of them to be attached to a switch that has a permanent IP address but alas as far as I know it is not possible? They are all in my work environment but I cannot use the network (Adsl) as the Ports 80 aand 8080 seem to be blocked to FAH. Does anyone know how I could use the mobile broadband permanently connected shared between all the machines so that I would not need to dial up each machine before moving on to the next one. Thanks a lot for any help in advance.

use the proxy settings, but leave the host to 'localhost' and just change the ports?

Hi MtM
Thanks for the reply but please explain what you mean in more detail. What would I set the proxy to and how would I connect through the proxy? What would I change the ports to by the way?
Thanks for your time.

You say you have a working network but only ports 80 and 8080 are blocked, I can't be more specific untill you are

If it's only those two ports I would assume leaving the proxy to 'localhost' as it's by default, and only changing the port number to any free port would be sufficient.

I suspect that your LAN environment includes a proxy that blocks outgoing connections to port 8080 on Stanford.edu addresses. If your browser can connect to http://www.stanford.edu then port 80 is not blocked and FAH should work. If that doesn't work, your attempts to penetrate your LAN security are effectively being blocked. (The FAH servers can only accept connections on those two ports.)

Contact your network administrator. If you're in a work environment you cannot run FAH without the permission of the legal owner of the computers(see the EULA) so your network administrator should give you enough information on how to make the necessary connections.

You could always get a mobile router, I set my Dad one up that the sprint or verizon card plug into the router. He has the KR1 that works with either company, I see Linksys makes mobile routers now also but you have to pick which company you are using to get the correct router.

I have used a Cradlepoint MBR-1000 on my boat for about a year now with a Sprint Expresscard and a Verizon USB modem with load sharing between the two. The tech support Cradlepoint offers is some of the best and most competent I've seen in a long time. It's a router with 2 USB ports, an expresscard slot, and a WAN ethernet jack. You can literally have 1 cable/DSL connection and 3 broadband cards running in failover mode or load balancing with failover as well. It has 4 ethernet ports and 802.11n for networking.

Only complaint I have about it is that it's 100Mbit ethernet and not gigabit, but at mobile broadband speeds of 3Mbit peak, I guess it would not matter anyway.

Cradlepoint makes a few lighter/cheaper routers as well, but I use the MBR-1000. I've bought a lot of toys thru 3gstore, and have not been disappointed yet.

No, I dont work for either of them. ;P
