How do I do this with ATT/CINGULAR? I installed the modem drivers from the samsung disc, and I dial out using the following settings:

modem init: AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”wap.cingular”
Telephone#: *99***1#
user name: [email protected]
password: CINGULAR1

These settings used to work on my Nokia 6555 via bluetooth. When I try it with USB on the BJ2 it proceeds through the normal phases/stages and looks like it will work, and then it hangs at "Registering" stage and then times out.  WTH???

"On the phone:

Go to Settings > Connections> USB Change it from Activesync to Modem.

The phone will trickle charge while tethering with the USB cable so your batter will not die.


On your computer:

Start> Control Panel> Network Connections> Choose "Create a new connection"

Choose "Connect to the Internet"

Choose "Setup my connection manually"

Choose "Connect using a dialup modem"

Name the connection: "Att tether"

For phone number enter *99#

User name (all caps): [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1

Insert the CD from the box and choose the bottom option. Choose to install the SamsungModem driver.

Hook up the phone using the USB cable.

Go to Control Panel> System> Hardwaretab> Device Manager> Modems

Right click the Samsung modem and choose Properties

Under one of the tabs it asks for a Modem Initialization String (advanced tab maybe?).

Enter this exactly: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","WAP.CINGULAR"

Be sure to choose applyor save.


Close that out and go back to NetworkConnections in Control Panel.

Double click "ATT tether"

Click Properties and then make sure the Samsung modem is chosen as the modem to use with this connection.

Close it out and then double click the desktopicon for your new connection. Click "Connect" and you should be online."

This works perfect with Vista and XP, too bad no bluetooth tethering :) !

Cant you just use ICS.....over bluetooth PAN or USB. I know the BJII doesnt have it installed natively but there's a thread over at HowardForums that explains everything. I know for  a fact it works as I set it up on the second BJII I ourchased for my friends business (he has Data pack).....I know AT&T offer a tether type pack (charge for tethered data) but from what I read recently they actually dont monitor it seperately.

I could be completely wrong...so ignore me if I am.

Awesome thanks for the tip, here is how to enable windows ics for usb(at faster speeds then other way too) and bluetooth tethering:
"OK, take two...
for some reason I can't seem to get cert automated...revised instructions below.

MAKE SURE TO RE-DOWNLOAD THE CAB AS IT IS CHANGED!!

ok so here's the NEW procedure:

Step0.0: Make sure your device is app unlocked!!**(see below note!); run secpolicies.cab first if unsure or the certs won't take!!
Step0.1 RESET THE DEVICE!
Step1: Install the BJ.WM6.ICS.Enable cab file (it might ask you to reboot)
Step2: navigate to \My Documents and click on the certs.cab file
Step3: RESET THE DEVICE!
Step4: go to start and run internet sharing
Step5: report back and lemme know if i fux0red anything ELSE up :)

this should work on both BJ1/WM6 and BJ2/WM6

file is temporarily hosted at:
http://www.mdots.net/misc/BJ.WM6.ICS.Enable.cab

**run this cab and reboot; http://sems.org/content/download/secpolicies.cab"
