On that note, has anyone successfully connected through VPN on Airtel Network? Works fine on Safcom &amp; other networks but has never worked through my Airtel line.<div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 9:52 AM, Thuo Wilson <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:lixton@gmail.com">lixton@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

You will need your own APN so that they can issue you with static IP.
