Question

I am experiencing a strange issue with connecting to my web server from my Iphone4.
I have an app that connects to my web serer and downloads a chunk of JSON. This works fine when i’m connected via WIFI, but fails through 3G. I don’t think it’s my app, as Safari also fails to retrieve any page on my web server when using 3G.
My web server has a fixed i.p and is running apache/Centos pretty fresh out of the box, I have not messed with the firewall or iptables settings.
The error obtained from the iphone is “The network connection was lost”
It feels like a firewall issue, but i have not explicitly denied any ips. Is there some aspect of a 3g connection that gets denied by default on Linux?
I realise this is all vague at this time, but does anyone have any wisdom to offer?
Many thanks in advance.
