Hello all,
Its been a month since i bought my sony ericsson T610. I had been a nokia fan of 8210.. but this one rules the roost of beautiful and aesthetic mobile fones..
I have a GPRS connection where in i can surf the web but its too slow.
So i tried to use the dialup networking wizard of the sony ericsson communication suite and established the connection (GPRS link ) through my InfraRed link of my laptop.
Now, could anyone please tell me .. is there a possibility of me surfing the web from my laptop using this GPRS connection via the Infra red link to my connected T610 mobile??
i can really connect to the GPRS link and a PPP link is established with the client and server IP address and i can ping them too in my laptop.. but as soon as i open my browser(in my laptop) its unable to browse any page.. altho the web icon is displayed on the T610(indicating its connected to the net..!!)..
Could anyone tell me how to do it? Has anyone tried surfing the web from pc using GPRS /IRDA link of T610.. ?

Thanks in advance..
jade..

Yes on o2 in the uk spent 45 mins on the tech line with them talking me through the setup . Your network will give you the special dial up number that must be used to connect via gprs. Hope this is of help.

I'm using my t68i via bluetooth connection all the time - it is a bit slow but it works great.
I saw yesterday that I have downloaded a GIGABYTE of data via my t68i...
Judge for yourself...

Cheers

hello..
thanks for the reply...
yes i have got this special dialup number from the ISP.. but they have asked me try several combo suffixing it with 1,2,3,4 numbers.. i am yet to try out that.. as i have tried some of them and still not working..
but it was a painful and tiring time with the ISP (hutchisson) and they gave me stupid answers like only opera webbrowser supports surfing the net with pc-t610 connected as a modem.. and i didn know what to do.. its sad to hear ISP guys in india dunt have a clue as to how to configure correctly the WAP settings on T610..
they say that a browser (Opera mobile version) has to be installed on t610 and then asked me to get connected to the pc via IRDA.. but as i see from the Opera website that the browser download is available only for P800/P900!!.
I dunt have a clue as to what to do.. as i have already subscirbed for the internet access and paid the subscription feels too..
Can anyone please help me out??

Thanks in advance..

PS: wow ivan kusturin.. great that u are really getting cool bandwidth on t68i.. i envy u!! buhuhu.

@jadeparfait, there is a good chance you are connecting via your phones WAP GPRS connection whereas to do stuff from the PC you need to use an internet GPRS connection. These are two distinct and separate settings. check your data accounts in connectivity, data comm., data accounts, and see if you have a second data account. if so select it and note the CID displayed. you can then click edit and then apn and see what value is in the apn. most carriers use the word internet as all or part of the APN for internet GPRS data accounts, whereas if you see WAP in there someone that will then be for a WAP GPRS type data account.

If you don't have a second data account, or you are not sure that its an internet GPRS data account then call your opertaor for more settings.

If you have what I have described then simply change your dialling string on the PC to be *99***CID# where CID is the number you noted above.

edit: and no, you don't specifically need opera the connection provides a standard internet connection which is exactly the same as if you dial up on a landline, or use ADSL etc etc, only slower of course

Why do operators insist on different gateways for WAP and internet? Any technical reasons why the can't reside on the same ip?

Thanks @masseur verymuch for your patient detailed reply.
Yup. i have this internet GPRS account(hutch_www) installed on my data comm\data accounts settings on my T610.
This is the second account apart from the wap GPRS account(hutch_gprs) on the data accounts settings.

I would just run down on my current details here...
Data account = hutch_www
CID = 1
APN = www ( this is the default settings received by the Hutch ISP and they say it is correct).

Now, coming to my laptop,
I have windows 2000 running with the latest t610 modem scripts installed from the sony ericsson website. So i use the IR modem of T610 for my internet GPRS connection.

I use the dial up networking wizard from the sony ericsson comm suite and create a new settings with respect to the internet GPRS data account given by HUTCH..
and i use the phone number "*99***CID#1" and got connected at 115200 baud.. !!(altho the max is 64kbps!!) without any hassles.
Now the connected (through my IR) settings are as follows..

Server type - PPP
Transports - tcp/ip
authentication - PAP
compression - none
PPP multilink framing- off
Server ip - 10.15.0.1
Client IP - 10.15.0.247

Now the real problematic part!!!
I just cant connect to the internet. My browser Internet Explorer 6.0 gives me dns error and unable to open any web page..

So it looks like the configuration is correct and yet i am unable to browse!!

Hello @masseur .. could u please tell me anything wrong with my settings ??

Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Jade.

Hey Ivan Kusturin you mentioned you almost downloaded 1GB of data , that is just great. But can you tell how much speed (in kbps) do you get from such a connection. This message was posted from a T310

Not almost.Now it's 1.1 Gb...
The average speed depends on time of the day...
It's about 3 Kb/s.
But in the morning it goes up to 6...
