How to use Blackberry Bold to connect to the internet with laptop computer

Hi, I just switched from an HTC smartphone to the Bold, with the HTC I had an application called internet connection sharing and with a few mouseclick I could use the cellphone's mobile interent connection on my laptop. I use this to have full interent access with my notebook whne there is no wlan etc. for example in a car and it works very good.
I can't find a way to do the same thing on the Bold, any idea on how to do this? Thnak you!

Do I need anything else besides my BlackBerry to connect to the internet with Laptop

Can I conncect to the internet with only bberry to laptop. Thank

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
To use your BB as a modem so that your laptop can connect to the internet (via your BB), see this KB:
KB05178 Support for tethered modem use
On the other hand, if your desire is to access the internet from your BB via your laptop, that is not possible.
Best!

Cannot connect to the internet with laptop

Background: Started out with iMac connected to Apple Airport Extreme base station via wireless that is connected to broadband/cable linksys modem befcmu10. Then setup Apple Macbook 13" to access internet through Apple Airport Extreme base station via wireless. Worked fine, spectacular. Then setup HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One printer to be accessed through Apple Airport Extreme base station. Again, worked flawlessly. Then setup and "installed" an offline internet Skype phone [Philips VOIP8411B/37] so I could use it's services and not need a computer to be on. It's connected to the Apple Airport Extreme via Ethernet. To get it up and running, I had to reboot my modem and router. Right after I got it up and running I noticed that the Skype phone was working and the iMac was working but the laptop was now not able to connect to the internet.
Present: Finally able to get back to finding a solution, I was trying to look at settings in the network system preferences and researching things to try. Also going to the Airport Utility program trying different things like having it distribute IP address and having it find DNS servers automatically, etc etc etc. Nothing was working to get the Macbook back online. So I rebooted the modem and router again [because i have been experiencing problems with cable company] just for the heck of it. Wa-la, the iMac and laptop were now both using the internet. But before I realized what was happening, the Skype phone was not able to establish a connection. So before I stopped for the night, I shut everything down and rebooted the cable modem and router.
Next morning I awoke and the Skype was working but the iMac and Macbook weren't able to connect. After trying to fiddle with System Preferences and Airport Utility I resorted to reboot the modem and router. iMac worked, Macbook didn't, Skype worked. After a full day of researching, reading and fiddling with preferences on the macs end, I decided to try the reboot of modem and router. Got iMac online, Macbook online, Skype not.
Discovered problem: Apparently only two of the three devices can connect to the "internet" through the Aiport Extreme base station at a time. So right now, I have to sacrifice one device not to connect to the internet. It's the Macbook for now. From what i can see, the use of the printer is not affected [but it's only setup on the iMac].
I've gone into the network diagnostics on the Macbook and under Network Status on the left, Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP are all green, while Internet and Server are yellow for a second while it searches but turn red and stay red. Contacted cable company and everything is good on their end and they couldn't help further. Something is wrong on my end. Now on to apple care or forum help.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion of what to do or where to look? Do I have to change something in the Apple Airport Extreme base station? Network setting? Any help would be much appreciated, it's frustrating and time consuming and I'd like to get it all up and running.
Thank you for your time.

I don't have an answer, but I experienced the same problems trying to set up an airport express to route traffic to my stereo.
Apple Extreme router, iMac and laptop all worked just fine for months, upon installing Airport Express (step by step, according to instructions), all **** broke loose. Airport Utility was unable to see my Airport Extreme router, after hours of rebooting computer, cable modem, router, and finally a hard reset of the Airport Extreme router, it is finally recognized by Airport Utility again.
Recreated network, iMac connects to the internet just fine, laptop (Macbook Air) connects to the network just fine, but will not connect to the internet. Network diagnostics does not help, it gets to the "do you have a router? If so, reboot" stage, and never seems to see the router.
Any suggestions?

The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem. If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?

Getting connected to the internet with my blackberry 9360

Dear friend, I have blackberry 9360 with an airtel (Tamil nadu range,India)connection.I am able to get connected to other mobiles but my internet connection is difficult to obtain. It seems that blackberry has a different set of data charges for any blackberry to be connected to the internet. If so I kindly request you to let me know how this could be done.I have contacted the airtel people and they advised me many a times, all of which I tried and nothing worked.I would be obliged to you if you could enlighten me on this score. Thank you

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

Using on WiFi to connect to the internet.

Can I use only WiFi to connect to the internet, like web surfing and downloading?
I'm not in the US so I don't want to use the service provider's EDGE, because it is too expensive.

If you don't have a BlackBerry Data Plan, you will not have access to any of the BlackBerry data features and applications.
Some third party applications (like Pandora radio or BerryWeather) will connect via WiFi.
The Opera Mini browser will work, and can use GPRS settings, if you set the TCP connection for your current service provider.

how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.
If I was say,connected via my laptop,my desk top would continuously keep getting disconnected and vice versa.I have been reading the suggestions from experts here and have done a few checks based on them.I also cannot get to my router page which is 192.168.1.1 I keep getting a message that says "Problem Loading Page" and this happens with both,Firefox and Internet Explorer.I am running Windows 7 - 32 bit on my desk top and Vista Home Premium on my laptop.
I have opened the "Command Prompt" dialogue and pinged 192.168.1.1 and thereafter I typed in "ipconfig".These are the results:

I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
Any help will be really appreciated.

I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable. Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable.
I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that. Strangely, it works.
My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
Sorry, if my sentences are confusing. I have a terrible headache at the moment. While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health.
BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment. I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either. What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone? Thanks in advance.
Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".

Can't connect to the internet with airport or firewire

I can't seem to connect to the internet with airport or firewire. I recently restored my old G4 mac mini PPC 1.42 (with airport and bluetooth) Tiger 10.4.8 with a new harddrive. I have it connected to my leopard mac pro, internet sharing is on (both computers), the systems are connected, however, the mini just can't connect to the internet. tried it also using airport, no go. network diagnosis seems to go in a constant loop.

works ok with ethernet connection though.
that'll work.
