E61 as Modem for Laptop

Hello Forum,
Has anyone ever managed to use an E61 as a modem for a laptop so you can have some sort of mobile internet via GPRS when travelling? It only seems to work the other way around that one can connect the phone to a computer via IP passthrough and access internet on the phone via the computer. But how about connecting the computer through the phone? Would either use cable or infrared to connect to the phone but how would one get further on to the internet?
E61

Hello,
Yes I have but all these instructions presume you have the most recent PC Suite running. This doesn't work on W2K but there is a driver to download and install, just I don't know how to install it. Can copy it into the system folder but wouldn't it need a registry entry...?

Cannot use the cable driver as this one is only for XP or higher but Bluetooth & IR should work. I f only I could install it on my computer.

Iphone used as modem for laptop

Does anyone know if the iphone can be connected to a laptop and used as a modem (like a Blackberry) on the Edge network when wireless is not available? Thanks.

It is not legally available. And ATT charges for any tethering one does do. THere is an illegal workaround for this, that not only voids your Apple warranty, but could end up with a) a hefty charge from ATT for tethering (they charge 79.99 a month with a plan, but by the kb without one) and b) suspension of your service through ATT, and hence no iPHone (or any ATT phone) at all.
It is just plain old not available, and if you aren't afraid of either Apple or ATT legal repercussions, then a iPHone mod site would be the place for you - not here.

HTC Hero as modem for laptop ( SOLVED)

Hi,
I have been trying to use my HTC Hero phone data package for browsing the web from my laptop with no success.
The steps I have taken so far ( based on googling the query and reading the wiki )
1. Installed USB RNDIS driver for SynCE from the AUR
2. Brought the interface up ( the interface is named usb0 on my system, not rndis0 )
3. ran the command dhcpcd usb0
And then it broadcasts for a lease and then times out.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Samsom

usb0 interface provide new kernel v. 2.28 - rndis-list is not needed. I'm using HTC Hero connected to my Dell laptop. There is no problem with dhcpcd usb0 command, but I have problem when connecting phone to running system. If I connect phone and than boot archlinux than interface usb0 is in system. If connect phone to running os, than interfac usb0 is not visible.
Thanks a lot, mate. Works now.

How to use N9 as a modem for laptop

Hi,
I dont have much experience with phones, so hopefully this is a simple answer. I want to connect my laptop to the internet using my N9. The guy at the shop said I just use the USB to plug the mobile into the laptop and away I go. I've tried this, but it isn't working. I read on a discussion board I need to download Nokia Link, which I did but still no internet access. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Tan

I'm from the US, and there has been no alternative because Apple doesn't want people to be able to tether on the iPhone just yet. Apparently they will be releasing tethering to iPhone users here soon, but Apple took Netshare down because of that fact.
Now I don't know if there is anything else available in Paris, but you might want to contact Apple or your cell carrier and ask them, they would have a better idea about it.

How do I use my 8300 as a modem for my laptop

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. This is my first post...
I'm trying to set up my 8300 smartphone to be used as a tethered modem for my laptop to be able to get the full internet content anywhere with in cell coverage.
Question 1:
I got instructions from the 'BlackBerry HELP' icon on the phone (my question was: how do i use my device as a modem) which seemed very complete. The modem is dial-up and when I try to connect I get Error 718 (basically a timeout error).
Can anyone help?
Question 2:
Since this uses dial-up, would I be using my cell phone minutes?
Thank you, Lar

hello,
first thing is to look on the forum if people have already solved your issue. In this case, the tethering subject is quite frequent. You will certainly find your answer among these discussions :

Blackberry a modem for a laptop

I have my blackberry set up as a modem for my laptop & it works. But I can't access my email. My OS is Vista. Does someone know if there is a special thing that needs to be done?

Check your carrier's webpages for the Blackberry stuff. They should have links to specific software for various connections between Laptops, OS's, etc... I came across mine for AT&T today while poking around. You should have an account for your wireless account that you can check.
hmmm, don't know how I wound up in the business section but check the Communication Manager-

If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

Configuring Treo755p (Sprint) to use as "phone as a modem" service for laptop pc via Blue Tooth

Need help with configuring a Palm Treo755p (Sprint) to be used as "phone as a modem" with my laptop pc via Blue Tooth. The two are "paired" and I can push files (documents) from PC to phone. I can also HotSync wirelessly (via Blue Tooth). I am just wanting to "loose" the cable from the phone to the laptop pc when using "phone as a modem" for internet connectivity on my laptop pc. I see that there is a "virtual com port" established, but when I launch internet explorer, it wants to dial a number. The phone has "instant-on" internet connectivity.
Thanks

USING BLACKBERRY 7290 AS MODEM FOR MACBOOK

I have been told this is possible. I have been on numerous boards with no help. I have been on PocketMac.com and downloaded the version to sync via usb. I need to find a way to use my 7290 as a modem for my Macbook. I have the new MacBook with Intel Core 2 duo and Mac OSX. Anyone out thereknow how this can be done? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

A Blackberry 8703e is a Sprint device, so you'll have to resolve the issue with Sprint.
Sprint fields what they term the Sprint PCS Business Connection. You'll need that option if it is not already part of your subscription plan, and you'll need to tether a laptop through your Blackberry 8703e and your carrier via USB. Bluetooth connections via DUN are not supported. To enable a connection, Sprint states that you'll need the Sprint Connection Kit, which you find for several different operating systems—including Mac OS X—here:
http://www4.sprint.com/pcsbusiness/support/downloads/index.jsp?internalId=downlo ads
Except that, I wasn't able to locate a package for your Blackberry when I looked there: only packages for Sprint's PC data cards seemed to be available. So, you must perform the recursive loop at this point, and contact Sprint.
I don't believe that anyone but Sprint will be able to resolve the issue for you. You certainly cannot do it without enabling the data option, which only they can activate.

Isdn modem for macbook pro

I am living in italy and the home i am in has isdn, does apple or someone make a modem for isdn that will work with my OS and laptop...i have the dialup modem, but i am told that isdn is faster.

Your Telco/ISP would provide an ISDN Modem with the service if it's available to you, give your Telco a call. (I think Tiscali offer ISDN across all of Italy)
I have an NTII (Australian Telco) ISDN Modem and it works OK on this MBP, it's just not as fast as my wireless link ...

Have U found a way to use a Blackberry Curve as a modem for a PowerBook G4?

I just purchased a Blackberry Curve mobile phone. I am still running Mac OS X version 10.4.11.
One of the selling features for the curve is that it can work as the modem for a laptop via bluetooth.
However, I spent hours on the phone with both T-Mobile tech support and Blackberry support to just find out from Blackberry tech support that the Curve's modem feature is only set up to support PCs.
So, I was wondering if any brilliant minds out there have figured out a way around this?
If you do, could you please respond to [email protected]? Thanks.

Actually, it works with PPT for Windows because Microsoft MADE it work that way. It's why apps like EasyWorship (a windows only church lyric presentation app) can fire PPT files right in the app. There's some transparent control api that PPT has (or there's a third party company that makes it possibly) that just doesn't exist on the Mac.
Personally I wish Apple would build the Keynote engine INTO the OS in Snow Leopard so we can just be done with this issue. Then you could open Keynote files in say, QT or have ANY app be able to play Keynote files correctly. You'd just have to have Keynote to edit them. This would make things SO much more flexible.
QT can open and Play Motion files, why not Keynote?
