Are you on T-Mobile GPRS, on the basic $9.99/mo service? If so, it won't
work - they block all outgoing ports besides HTTP/HTTPS, IIRC. If you
upgrade to the $20/mo service, you can either stay NAT'd with ports open,
or ask them for the "VPN Option" which gives you a real dynamic IP
address.

I don't have a PocketPC, so I can't answer that part of your question.
