N97 as a modem. how?

hi everyone,
i'm trying to connect my dell laptop to internet using my n97 mini as a modem, but it doesn't work.
pc suite says manage to do the connection, and also windows 7 sees it, but says "no internet access"
anyone could give me an help, please?

All I do is use either PC Suite or Ovi Suite connected by usb and select 'connect to the internet' and it works ! Maybe worth cleaning out all Nokia/Ovi software and re-installing, or try Joikuspot to set up a wifi hotspot ?
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

My airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless

my airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless..... please help!!!

Hi again Jen,
Most internet providers utilize "dhcp" -- you might want to check to see if your extreme is set to that function.
If you want to try, you need to go into airport utility and select MANUAL setup/ then click NETWORK button on top of the window. /select TCP/IP -- make sure that you see "Using DHCP" not MANUAL in the configuration window. If you do see using dhcp, click the renew dhcp lease button. Then you'd have to do the power down/up cycle again. If all this doesn't work, you can do a hard reset on your Extreme, which will bring it back to the way it came out of the box, then go through the same proccess that was used to set it up originally.

Using N97 as a modem

When i try to use my N97 as a modem for my laptop i wont connect unless i make a backup first.
I doesn't matter what data i do a backup off but i have to do it to make the phone connect to the internet.
Wierd but that's the way it is.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

The easiest way as described is to use PC Suite or Ovi Suite, connect by usb inPC Suite mode and simply select'connect to the internet', I've never had a problem with this method and find usb gives the fastest connection. It may help to start afresh and remove all the access points on your computer to avoid conflict (just the mobile modem ones, not your home or works wlan) and you shouldn't have a problem !
Good Luck

No Modem - How to connect Via Dial UP?

as there is no modem in the mac book pro computers, how can i configure it to use while on holiday where the only connection is a dial-up?
is there any way i can use an old airport base station i have as a modem to go through a dial up?
any information will be helpful.

Methinks the Airport base station is not going to work as a solution when you want dialup.
What you need is a modem. Apple do a USB modem which is $49 (or whatever the equivalent is wherever you may be), but you ought to find this fast and check the settings before you leave. Trying to do anything on the fly like this always has its own set of problems.
Other modems may work, but you need to think about compatibility between modem, computer and OS.

N97 as a modem (speed)

I have a N97 that i use as modem for my laptop.
I have a problem with the speed, i only get 460 kbit/s. Is there som kind of setting so i can get higher speed? I think the phone is bulit for 3.2 Mbit/s.
Solved!

The 460.8 Kbps isn't the speed at which your modem (N97) is connecting to the GPRS network. It's the link speed at which the computer is communicating with the modem. The actual speed at which you are connected to the GPRS network can be calculated using online tools as this:-
http://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp
(make sure you have the latest Java runtime installed on the computer, get it from www.java.com if you don't, this speed test won't run without java)
And as for changing the local link speed (which in your case is 460.8 Kbps), you CAN increase it.
Connect your phone to the computer, don't dial the GPRS connection (don't connect to the internet, just connect the phone to the PC)
Assuming you use windows XP, click on
START--->>CONTROL PANEL----->PHONE AND MODEM OPTIONS
On the window that appears, click on the "MODEMS" tab on top.
Select "Nokia N97 USB Modem" (in some cases "Nokia USB modem"), and click on "PROPERTIES" at the bottom right corner (just above the "APPLY" button)
On the window that appears, click on the "MODEM" tab on top again, the second option would be a drop down menu called "MAXIMUM PORT SPEED", in your case it would be 460800.
Select the highest possible speed from the drop down menu, and click on "ok" to close the "nokia N97 USB Modem properties" , and again on "ok" to close the "phone and modem options" window.
Dial up to the internet, and it would show a higher speed. Keep in mind that this IS NOT the actual speed at which you are connecting to the internet. Although it'd show a higher speed now, but you would still be connecting at the speed which you receive from your service provider.

I have usb modem how i can use it with mac book pro 13inch

And if it supports 802.11a or 802.11b it may not offer the full WPA2 encryption, in which case you want to be at least 1500 feet (500 meters) from the nearest neighbor to ensure a secure connection. 802.11g supports WPA2 as well, and is also supported by the MacBook Pro. It just is slower at 33 Mbps.

9 year old DSL Modem - How do I get new one?

I believe I have the Original Westell DSL modem because it doesn't even have a part number (model # A090-210015-04, manufactured 09/2002). As any mathematician can estimate, it is over 9 years old and I believe has served its function rather admirably and is long since due its retirement from active service. How do I get a new one from Verizon? No details or links on how to achieve this apparently extremely difficult task of replacing hardware.

How has the Westell 2100 been serving you? Are you still getting the speeds you're supposed to be getting, and is the connection remaining stable? I honestly see no reason to replace a 2100 until you are looking to get something above the 5-7Mbps range of speeds or the Westell itself is actually failing. If you do want a new modem though, just give Verizon a call and ask for them to send out a new modem to retire your old 2100. Otherwise, just go purchase a new modem online (They're... $20-40 for a basic ADSL2+ modem) or at a store and set it up.

Notebook+cable+N95 as wifi modem, how to?

Good day!
I've got my Wifi broken on the notebook, so I was searching for information how can I connect to internet using my N95 as a wifi modem. I want to connect the phone to notebook via usb cable, turn on wifi on N95 and start using it as wifi modem.
PC suite allows me only to use it as GPRS modem.
Can anybody please help me up with the matter? I am really struggling to find any info on that.
Thanks in advance

Basically, what you want to do here is use the N95 as a USB-connected WiFi adapter, right?
I'm afraid that can't be done.
You're much better off buying a real USB WiFi adapter. They're inexpensive nowadays.

N97, broken hinge. How to fix?

Okei, so i've manage to break the left hinge on my Nokia N97.
I've ordered a new one on ebay, but now that I'm trying to disassemble it, i can't understand how I'm supposed to detach it.
If you look at the picture in the link below, you'll se which part I will try to change. I haven't recieved it yet, so I can't study the new hinge for clues... (If you wonder why I'm disassembling my phone without having the broken part, it's because i just replaced a new LCD screen which also broke in the accident!)
http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/6409/slideo.jpg
So, my question is: can someone please, please tell me how to switch out that broken hinge? I can't seem to find a disassemble guide anywhere. A fix at a care center is freakishly expensive here in Norway, so any help and serious replies is greatfully recieved!
Thanks!

We users here can't talk about disassembly of phone.
As it can be risky doing it your self.

BB Curve 8330, Phone as Modem-----how do you connect to Apple Macbook?

I am trying to connect my Curve to my Macbook as a modem. It appears on the Sprint website that you can only connect with Windows. I was wondering if this could be done using bluetooth?

That would be a question to ask in the Samsung forums, have you tried there? There should be instructions in your manual or on Samsung's site on how to connect a telephone to a computer and download photos.

Need to run macbook pro in 32 bit mode to run and external modem how do i change from 64 bit to 32 bit

I have a macbook pro which i presume runs in a 64 bit mode. living in a country without broadband i need to use a 32 bit modem, can i change the system to run this modem at 32 bit as it wont load at 64?

Reboot holding 3 and 2, see if your modem works.
Rebooting again sets it back to 64 bit.
If 32 bit works then your fine, for now, but eventually your going to have to go 64 bit.

Need to upgrade modem; how to "pre-plan" re-installing WRT54G wired/wireless router

I'm way past overdue to upgrade my modem, and from what I've read in reviews, getting a combo modem/router doesn't seem to be the best thing to do as far as reliability & range issues. So, I want to upgrade my modem & then use the same router/access point I currently have. However, I've read of other users having problems accessing the control panel after connecting to a new modem....so want to know what information I need to have before I start this project.
Does this mean I'm going to have to basically start back at the beginning and set up my home network all over again?
I'm pretty tech-savy...but I don't do it enough to really start the project & see where it takes me.....I don't have the TIME! LOL!
Thanks for any help/advice anyone can offer!

It will really depend on the type of settings that your ISP would put on the new modem. If the configuration of the new modem would be the same with the old one, then there is no need for you to do any changes on the router. Just plug in the new modem, perform a powercycle by unplugging the power cord of the modem and router and it should work. However, if it doesn't, what you can do is to reset the router and reconfigure it. The following links would help you reconfigure the router after a reset.
