cannot get data to work

[Guest techboydino]

hello all. i need some help re-enabling my BJII to receive data. i uninstalled the nodata.cab, and shut off the phone and turned back on. i changed the IE setting to connect to the internet but still no data. can someone please help me find what im missing? thanks.

edit: i got it working. had to change some settings within the wap connection. deleted the username and password. although it is awfully slow, (full signal 3G) thanks anyway.

Glad that you figured it out after a while! :D

works now but pretty slow. i am not getting near the posted speeds on full signal 3g. the only connections are wap and medianet. when i connect using ics, the laptop works but is unresonably slow. using vista, midianet is the only way i can stay connected. is this what i have to work with or is there another way?

Use ONLY the following setup/configuration:

Start - Settings - Connections - GPRS:

MEdia Net (delete any other connections!)

Connects to: The Internet

Access Point: wap.cingular

Username/Pass: (leave blank)

Auth Type: CHAP

Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

IP Address: (leave blank)

Then go to Start - Settings - Connections - Proxy:

AT&T WAP (delete any other connections!)

Connects From: The Internet

Connects to: WAP Network

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com:80

Type: HTTP

Username/Pass: (leave blank)

There is only one other possible variation that would work:

Start - Settings - Connections - GPRS

ISP (delete any other connections!)

Connects to: The Internet

Access Point: isp.cingular

Username: [email protected]

Password: CINGULAR1

Auth Type: CHAP

Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

IP Address: (leave blank)

With this set, you must then go to Start - Settings - Connections - Proxy and DELETE ALL PROXIES (or reconfigure them to not map to the isp connection).

Hope this helps.

thanks for the info. you could not have made it easier. i will be relying on this for service while at military training down in mississippi. any tips on getting a BT pan driver for Vista. This did not install as an available service. Thanks again for the help.

To enable the Internet Sharing application, use the following link:

http://verizonwireless.howardforums.com/sh...mp;postcount=23

(Install the second cab link on that post, reboot your phone, install the first cab link)

I can't confirm if that works with Vista or not though.

Also, I forgot to mention about my earlier post, using only the ISP settings, you'll have your device assigned its own IP address, but you won't be able to access MEdia NET, CV, and other ATT services. The MEdiaNet with Proxy settings use a shared IP address (behind a proxy), but allow access to all ATT services.
