Hello,
I recently acquired a new TMobile ZTE Sonic 2.0 4G HotSpot.
My question:
Is there a way to get this thing to work with a DDNS service?
Have it auto-update its IP address to a service like DynDNS.org?
Alternately, is there a way to get this device to get a static IP address from T-Mobile?
I have a datacard from AT&T, and it has a static IP address... it costs me $3.00 per month for the IP address.
I rather it be free, yet for $3.00... not bad.
I want to access a computer inside the HotSpot's network from the outside.
Specifically, ssh into it (default port 22).
I already went into the HotSpot's configuration utility (via browser).
Configuration --> Firewall Settings
Now, I played with both the Port Forwarding, and the MAC/IP/Port Filtering.
I first did the Port Forwarding (say, port 4444 on the outside, have it translate to port 22 on the inside to a specific IP).
I Saved the settings... restarted the HotSpot... and nothing.
I then took that out, tried a similar configuration with the MAC/IP/Port Filtering, save, restart... and nothing.
I haven't had this equipment for one week... so I am still within the time-frame to take it back to the store.
Can anybody offer some help?
Guidance?
It is hard to believe that this device won't do DDNS... and/or accept outside connections.
Help please... other than this huge problem, the device is perfect for my needs.
Thank you,
SB
