Hi All,

I'm trying to connect my laptop (Windows XP) to the internet using my new T-Mobile SonyEricsson D750i over Bluetooth. I'm on a monthly contract with T-Mobile, and can access the internet using the phones built-in browser.

This is what happens.
I click on 'My Bluetooth Places', click my mobile (ablse), click 'Dial-up Networking on ablse'.
A dialog box titled "Connect BluetoothConnection" appears, and I type in the following:
Username user
Password wap
Dial *99***1#

The laptop then dials the connection and after a few seconds the message "Bluetooth connection is now connected 115.2Kbps" appears on the taskbar and a dial up connection appears to be established.

The phone says "Connecting", then after about 30 seconds displays a message "Connection failed, check coverage or mobile internet settings".
The dial up connection on the laptop then terminates.

I've tried various combinations of username and password - user one2one/wap, leaving both blank and different numbers *99***1#, *99#, *99***2# etc with exactly the same results.

I'm not sure quite where to look next. In the phones list of Data Accounts there are three set up, "T-Mobile Internet", "T-Mobile GPRS", "T-Mobile WAP" with settings which seem correct according to various web pages I've seen.

Anyone any thoughts?

It worked like a dream when I was with Vodafone on a t68i... :( 

Bad form replying to yourself, but an update....
works out-of-the-box in Linux....


With Windows having a habit of visiting windowsupdate (despite having switched off auto updating) I daren't connect my laptop via GPRS in windows. Not that I'd want to use it anyway ;)

Linux only GPRS for me ;-)

I only ever used 'doze with the t68i because of Vodafone's GPRS software. It's bye-bye time for Uncle Bill now!

I'm using the Easy GPRS Connect front end and it works a treat. Are you using a front-end or writing your own pppd stuff?

Cheers,

Andrew
