I post a lot on www.darklight.co.za

now, there they automatically detect what country you in by checking where your connection is coming from.

Now, last week I figured out how to use my K750i as my modem. I connect using the gprs.vodacom network. And when I connect there using my phone it says my country is norway?!?!?!?!?! At my previous employer it said Switzerland because everything was handled by the Swiss so that explains that.

But Vodacom and Norway? Strange!
Everytime I was uploading a file of over 1MB i was getting the IE Document not Found error! It was driving me mad but after searching for an hour or two, viola!

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="245760"/>

enter that under your <system.web> in the web.config file. this sets the amount, in KB, how big the request going back to the server may be.

also include this line at the top of your html pages to test them

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

May the Standards be with you!
