Some points to clarify:

1. remove ya bluetooth dongle from ya USB port.
I have 3COM PCMCIA card not USB dongle. So I'll remove it from slot.

2. uninstall all driver which u had installed earlier with ya 3Com bt driver
I'll then unistall all the 3COM drivers and SE bluetooth modem driver

3. restart ya pc
Will do

4. after complete boot up from XP... put ya 3Com bluetooth dongle in USB port
Will push in 3COM PCMCIA card, which will prompt WinXP for hardware installation.

5. Windows XP will start to install all service available for ya bluetooth dongle. do not remove the dongle.
The pop window will ask to locate for drivers. Shall I browse for 3COM CD. or let Window install the its own drivers. I presume it will result in Device Manager with yellow sign of exclaimation.

6. after complete installation. go CONTROL PANEL and select PHONE AND MODEM OPTION
Will do

7. go to MODEM on ya upper part of the pop out menu
Okay

8. select "Standard Modem Over Bluetooth Link"
Earlier when I had install using 3COM driver CD, I could find four entries, 3COM DUN client, 3COM Fax client, 3COm LAN client, laptop modem.

9. select "Diagnostics" and then "Query modem"
Will let you know if sucessful

Correct me if I'm wrong

fu1at, thanks for your reply.

I have managed to establish GPRS connection on my laptopm using 3COM bluetooth PCMCIA card via P910i bluetooth. Below is the description on how I did it:

Firstly I made cable internet connection followed by bluetooth internet connection. That''s how it worked on my system.

Points to note: on my laptop COM8 is for USB connection, COM5 and COM6 are for 3COM DUN serial client & host. My GPRS service provider is O2 UK.

Linking phone with laptop for Internet use (Phone GPRS) through USB cable(cradle):

On P910, go to control panel, connection, cable, modem connect, select speed 115200

Put P910 on cradle, uncheck USB port(COM8) in "Phone connection link", enable COM8 in Control panel, "Phone Monitor Options".

Click Dial-up Netwroking Wizard on SE program.

Enter "O2 Mobile Web" as the connection name. (You can choose any name)

Follow screen instructions:

GPRS access settings
APN mobile.o2.co.uk
Primary DNS 193.113.200.200
Secondary DNS 193.113.200.201
Username ***(I used my O2 online user name)
Password *** (I used my O2 online password)
Homepage www.o2.co.uk

Before pressing "Finish" click "O2 Mobile Web" button, Select Modems, Click Properties, Choose 57600 from the Maximum Port Speed drop-down menu, Select Advanced tab,
• Enter the following into the Extra initialisation commands
field exactly as written here:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO.UK" (all in upper case)
• Click OK
• Click OK again

Then • Select Properties
• Select Configure.
NOTE: Please make sure that the right modem is ticked.
• Un-tick Use dialling rules.
• Select Options
• Select 57600 as the Maximum speed (bps)
• Tick Enable hardware flow control
• Un-tick Enable modem error control
• Un-tick Enable modem compression
• Un-tick Enable modem speaker
• Select option
• The only thing that you need to check in this window is that
Display progress while connecting is ticked
• Select Networking tab
tick TCP/IP
tick QoS pocket
• Select Properties
Enter the following settings:
Primary DNS server: 193.113.200.200
Secondary DNS server: 193.113.200.201
• Click OK
• This concludes setting up the connection properties.
Click OK

Now before making dial-up connection through "O2 Mobile Web" icon in Network Connection, on the P910 change cable modem speed to 57600. (Make note that while setting up this procedure it has be at 115200, otherwise P901 and laptop won't communicate thru Dial up Wizard of SE)

On laptop, go to start, control panel, Network Connection, and click O2 Mobile Web icon. Hopefully it should work.
-------------------------
Linking phone with laptop for Internet use (Phone GPRS) through Bluetooth:

Points to note: Uninstall 3com Connection Manager and remove 3COM PCMCIA card. Reboot the system and re-install 3COM software and hardware. Why? This will automatically generate "O2 Mobile Web"(Bluetooth) icon in Network Connection. Thereon make the following changes:

Uncheck all COM ports in "Phone connection link",
Enable COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8 in "Phone Monitor Options", in Control panel (don't know the reason to enable too many com ports?).

Click Dial-up Netwroking Wizard on SE program. Follow all the configuration for O2 GPRS setup explained as above.

Select 3COM bluetooth DUN client as modem in Dial-up Network Wizard. ( There is no need to install SE bluetooth modem)

On P910, go control panel, connection, Bluetooth, turn on bluetooth.

On laptop start 3COM connection manager, refresh bluetooth devices, security set on custom, none.

On P910 refresh bluetooth devices.

Now on Network Connection click "O2 Mobile Web"(Bluetooth) icon. Both should laptop and P910 should prompt from passward.

Hopefully connection will be established via Bluetooth
---------------------------
Important notes:

The USB connection for internet started to work by installing SE serial P910 modem using WinXP drivers (not from P910 CD). The connection was made using O2 configuration (downloaded from internet)

Once the above started to work, install 3COM hardware and software, which will automatically generate dial-up connection icon similar to above. Make sure 3COM DUN client is selected in the modem option.

When not connecting, always check if the devices are paired on the p910i bluetooth setting and 3COM connection manager. It is helpful to use refresh button.

ALWAYS REFRESH ON P910 AND ON 3COM CONNECTION MANAGER BEFORE INITIATING ANY CONNECTION!!!

fu1at,

Thought I should share this observation that in establishing bluetooth internet connection I have lost to connect P910i to laptop for PC connect(not modem connect) via bluetooth. Which was smooth before. Any advice will be appreciated.
-----------------------
The way I used to do that before is as follows:

Linking phone with laptop for installing software through Pc Suite using 3COM bluetooth:

Setting; In "Phone connection link" go to properties and check Com6 & COM5.
On laptop, in Control panel, "Phone Monitor Options" disable all Com ports.
In P910i turn on Bluetooth, Cable connection set to PC connect.
In laptop start "Bluetooth Connection Manager". Now a window will prompt to connect to P910i. Click connect. Make sure that the phone is paired with latop in the Bluetooth devices. If not then pair it. Then repeat pairing on "Bluetooth Connection Manager". Keep on trying by checking COM5 in "Phone connection link". It may come with error, ignore them and keep on trying and should connect. It could be finnicky.

Once bluetooth connection is established then softwares can be installed thru "SE PC Suite" as if it connected thru cable on the cradle.
--------------------
Why is this not working after establishing Bluetooth internet connection?

first of all.... congrat on the setup for dial-up using bluetooth.

once bluetooth connection established within a service there is no way u can use another service because it's set to respond to only 1 service and 1 device at the same times unless u disconnect the existing service.

fu1at,

I didn't try connecting for two services at the same time, i.e. modem connection and PC connection via bluetooth. Anyways, below are some of my observations:

In establishing BT modem connection to access internet via GPRS, I have noticed that there is no need for any COM ports to be enbaled in "Phone Monitor Options"(As I described earlier). Remember all COM ports are already unchecked in "Phone connection link".

Now while I was doing hit and trial on this, I discovered that only COM5 and COM6(on my PC these ports are assinged for 3COM bluetooth serial client and host) are needed to be checked in "Phone connection link" to make PC connect through bluetooth, to use SE PC Suite for software installation.

Am I right in concluding that enabling or disabling COM ports in "Phone Monitor Options" in Control panel has no affect? What do you think?

Will wait for your reply, cheers.
