I tried to host a file on a free hosting site but when i go to the url in my samsung sgh-300 wap browser, it tells me there is an internel error.

an example of one of the sites i tried creating is here

i also tried geocities (the website ishere), but when i go there the wap browser tells me "internal error" again.

How should i format my site? I know for sure this mobile phone supports downloading of jpg's.

the best way to load walla papers and such onto a phone is using Samsungs software + IR or Data cable.

The pics.bbzzdd site returns a "not found" error.

I'm nearly desperate now. if this doesnt work ill be stuck with the same wallpapers for ever, since the included cable only supports the phone to act as a gprs modem, not to send images to/from it.

It is also properly configured. I took it to my network supplier to check.

Im not an expert, but I went through this with my LGVX6000. When I would upload a picture they would come up as
BMP, not JPEG. I had to get a program called PhotoPlus 5.5 to convert them to JPEG.

So make positive you are dealing with JPEG.

As for a site to host the pics, Im not sure which one to use. Everyone I have tried comes up with the same errors.
I could be totally wrong here, but I think pics.bbzzdd wont let you share them on the web because of there bandwidth issues.

Like I said though, I could be wrong.:)

ok - now that site tells me "the site is too large to send back"

I link directly to the photo.

Could this be because i have same shady setting wrong? I can browse, but can's download anything.
