Hi All,

I have a HP Pavilion zd7010us laptop running Windows XP Home Edition
(Service Pack 2) that I would like to tether to my GSM/GPRS
Motorola V600 cellular phone.

I have bought a Linksys & D-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter. I load the
software than plug in the adapter. The adapter is recognized and
Windows loads some drivers for it. I don't know what to do from
their. I can make my phone discoverable, but Windows only see it as
a phone with Dial-up capabilities. How do I get it to recognize that
it is GPRS capable?

Ciao . . . C.Joseph

Hi B.M. Wright,

I put in the *99# in the phone number, and it works perfectly!!
Thanks ever so much. AT&T/Cingular, Motorola and HP did not get it
to work, and you did it in one sentence.

Thanks . . . C.Joseph

Hi Joe D.;

It running about normal GPRS speed of approximately 40Kb. It's slow
for doing any serious web crawling but is great for e-mail.

BTW, it is 'C.Joseph' not 'Joseph' (note there is no space between
'.' and the 'J'.)

Ciao . . . C.Joseph
