Sony Ericsson P900
Laptop running Windows XP
D-Link Bluetooth DBT-120 dongle
T-Mobile all you can eat data plan
Assuming your P900 is configured correctly for GPRS
www.sonyericsson.com/support
Assuming your Bluetooth device is installed properly
And your laptop and P900 are correctly paired
I installed Sony Ericsson PC Suite 2.3.1 (which was one of my problems, but I’ll get to that).

A tray icon with arrows named Phone Connection Link will appear
You can run Synchronization to sync Outlook, but don’t bother using their Dial Up Networking wizard, it’s worthless.
Also, don’t use My Bluetooth Places and Connect via Dial Up Networking for P900
Instead:
From Control Panel, click on Phone and Modem Options, click the Modems tab
You may see something named Bluetooth Modem COM5 or some other COM port
Ignore it! You can probably even delete it.
Click Add
Click the box that says Don’t detect my modem
Under manufacturer, scroll down to Sony Ericsson and under models, select Sony Ericsson Bluetooth modem
Click Next
You will be presented with a COM port, mine came up COM 7
Select the COM port and click Next
Now in Control Panel, click Network Connections
The top of the left hand column will say Network Tasks
Click create a new connection
The first bullet should already be selected that says Connect to Internet, click next
Now click on set up my connection manually and then next
Now click on connect using a dial up modem and then next
Unclick the generic Bluetooth modem that was (in my case) COM5 and click on the one labeled Sony Ericsson Bluetooth modem (in my case) COM7. Note this COM port and then click next
You can name it, I called it T-Moblie GPRS
Now, go to that phone connection link icon in the tray, the one with the arrows. Right click on it and select properties and there will be a list of COM ports. Unclick the COM port from your new dial up modem. It won’t be named, it was COM 7 in my case
Go to the Bluetooth icon in the tray and right click and select Advanced Configuration
Click on the Client Applications tab
Select Dial up network and click on properties
Now select your new dial up networking connection, mine was T-Mobile GPRS
Click configure
You should be in the General tab
Unclick the generic bluetooth modem (mine was COM5) and click the Sony Ericsson bluetooth modem (mine was COM7)
You can put in *99# for the phone number to dial (don’t put in *99***1#, it won’t work)
Now, very importantly, go to the Networking tab and under the PPP choice, click on the settings button
Unclick negotiate multi-line (don’t ask!) if not, you’ll get an error message 738 about not getting assigned an IP address
Now go back to control panel and click on network connections
Double click on your new dial up networking connection T-Mobile GPRS
Leave the username and password blank but for the number, put in *99# (if it’s not already there)
Click dial and it will open port, dial *99#, register you on the network and then say you are authenticated. Open a browser and surf away.
In the future, if you even go right click on the Bluetooth tray icon and reconfigure Dial Up Networking, always select your new dial up networking COM port (COM7) and unclick that silly negotiate multi-line. It likes to default to the generic Bluetooth modem and a check mark on negotiate multi-line
