Using E650 with laptop - need the modem driver

[Guest leftofcentre]

Hi folks, has anyone been able to connect there e650 to a laptop to use its internet connection for browsing on your laptop?

The orange cd contains no modem driver :-(

Paul seems to have it working in vista:

Has anyone got it working in XP? If so can they share it with the group how they done it?

Thanks

In XP you have to use the phone like an "Network Access Router" creating a new cnnections in your bluetooth options of laptop. In the phone you have to power on connection sharing so you can use "Bluetooth PAN" . I try this one times with succesfully but second time i can't reconnnect anymore.

Sounds fiddly, is there an way to do it with the cable?

Pretty easy under WinXP and no need for a modem driver.

On S710 go to Internet Sharing (on e650 it's Accessories/Internet Sharing)

Select 'USB' and your GPRS network, then press "connect" (there's also the Bluetooth option)

You will see 'check your USB connection'

Now connect your Mobile to your PC via USB.

On your PC, a new "Local Area Connection" icon will appear briefly, trying to establish the connection. It will succeed and hide itself. You can always view it if you go to "Network Connections". You will see that the device name is "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device"

That's it! You should now be on the 'net :rolleyes:
