www.m.youtube.com is not the correct address.
m.youtube.com is the one to use. I use Opera too. Works perfect!

you can run it via GPRS or 3G ,but u need a good connection. if you can't run it via GPRS or 3G ,maybe you have a carrier issue...
W960 has opera 8.5 ,wich is a HTML browser. it doesn't matter if u run youtube via m.youtube.com or http://www.youtube.com ,his problem is the router.

Funny. Mine didnt come with Opera. I had to download it. www version doesnt work either. M. version works perfect.
Janti, are you using Wifi or The Cell network? Either way, the standard browser in W960 wont play youtube vids.

I'm using Wifi. I've tried both normal Opera and Opera Mini.
It might be the router, it's a Belkin, but Belkin claim it should be possible to stream videos through it, so I don't know what or whom to believe.

1: W960 has Opera as std browser (Version 8.65).
2: U need to open a port on your router for streaming vids.
3: It works with 3G/UMTS for me, but not GPRS. (EDGE not supported.) |

Same here: Could someone explain exactly how a port is opened, and which port should be opened?

Log in to your router. (Check the manual if you don't know how.)
I have a D-Link and in the menu under Advanced you find DMZ.
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is used to allow a single computer on the LAN to be exposed to the Internet.
There you can enable an IP-adress (the one you will use with your W960) to be exposed.
Try it out and enjoy.
Let me know if it works for U. |
