GPRS connection between iPAQ 1940 & nokia 6260 via BT

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I've been trying to connect my iPAQ1940 to the internet by means of a BT
connection to my nokia 6260 phone and GPRS protocol.

I can see the BT connection establishing, but then the GPRS doesn't start.

I'm sure settings are ok (i've checked with the GPRS network provider), and
I know the 6260's GPRS modem does work (I've established a connection from a
desktop PC), so my last guess is that the iPAQ has some problems...

HP says it works fine (how can they tell from over the phone without
checking hardware and software??), but I do think there are some issues with
drivers that will allow the iPAQ to correctly talk to the phone. Anyone
supporting such idea, and possibily suggesting a solution?

Many thanks and have a nice weekend!

Done that, thanks. I have used both *99# and *99***[x]#, but neither
works...

Are you sure it is "1",,"[APN]"? SHouldn't it be 1,"IP","web.omnitel.it"?
The sintax is quite different, which one is correct?

I'll do, thanks!

Make sure the Pocket PC is using the latest ROM available - this model had
problems with some Nokia models.

As for the "IP","[APN]" or "","[APN]" both should work ok.
