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.

How u go fit see after shackn palmy?? **thinking*

i already installed the BB manager and all before i came here, there must be something else im not doin right. if i can browse with the phone with the default BB browser, i get confused why i cant connect it to my laptop and use a desktop browser.

U need a good hand on ur BB, do u mind i refer u?

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.
