Boris, Drag gave you the best path to use. In fact he gave you everything you will need to connect and browse. There is a missing link. I will tell you what it is. When you bought your bberry there is a disc that came with it. That disc should be installed on your computer. It is called desktop manager. When you finish installing please come back for more instructions to get you connected. When you return I have a Blackberry resource room opened to support folks like yourself. Come in there and see me. There is a service charge of 5 bottles of palmwine. If you fail to deliver my 5 bottles you and I no go see eye to eye o. |

Re: How To Connect Blackberry To The Internet(on A Computer) by hayprof(m): 7:25am On Jul 04, 2008 |

Re: How To Connect Blackberry To The Internet(on A Computer) by NegroNtns(m): 2:55pm On Jul 05, 2008 |
Dragnet, I am blind as it is, the info people provide me is what I will use to process request as I cannot see their pc or their phone. Palmy is good for the heads to function - one head in phone section, the other in romance section. Boris, You are trying to tether your phone to the pc and use it as modem for your pc to access internet. However, you are not giving adequate info but wanting magic to happen. Remember, I cannot see your pc or your phone, the more you share the better I can assist. You need to do what is called DUN - Dial-UP Networking. Here: On PC 1. go to START 2. Control Panel (classic view) _ please dont come back asking how do u get classic view. 3. Phone and Modem 4. Modems tab 5. Choose Blackberry (if desktop manager is already installed as u say u will see this) 6. Click on Properties 7. Click on Advanced tab 8. In Extra Initialization Strings, type the string that DonSeaun gave you for mtn in this field 9. Hit OK all the way till u get back to Control Panel. ______________________________ 10. In Control Panel, look for Network Connections 11. On the left look for "Create a New Connection" and open it 12. The New Connection wizard opens 13. Click Next 14. Under Network Connection Type, select "Connect to the Internet" and click next 15. Under Getting Ready, select "Set up Connection Manually" and click next 16. Under Internet Connection, select "Connect using a Dial Up modem", click next 17. Under select a device, choose 'Blackberry modem", click next 18. Under connection name, type the name you want to call your connection, example "Bberry Tethering", click next 19. Under phone number, type *99***1#, click next 20. Under connection availability, choose 'My Use only", click next 21. Under Internet Account Information, type the info DonSeaun gave you, click next 22. Click Finish. _____________________ 23. Go to Start button 24. select Connect to and show all connections 25. Look for Bberry Tethering 26. Right mouse click and select Connect. ____________________________ Das All!!! If you have any more problem come back and share and please please, I am blind, you are my eye so lead me to the problem, dont expect me to know automatically what u r going thru with the phone. Good luck! Hey, hold on a minute, where's my bottle?? |
