Using N95 as a Modem Via USB on O2UK Network

Hi I am trying to connect to the internet with my laptop using the N95 as a modem via USB. I have tried a couple of different ways to do this. I've tried using the one touch access in Nokia PC suite and it gets up to the part where it says "verifying username and password" then says unable to establish a connection. I have also tried connecting from the "connect to" tab in the start menu on xp (also tried vista) and selecting my mobile as the modem through which to connect. I am an O2UK Customer and i have been told the user name and pass to use to connect is user=mobileweb and password=password. Im sure this is true because it does get past the verifying username and password bit when i do it this way. But when it gets to the "Registering your computer on the network" part it fails.
What am i doing wrong. I have tried this in both GSM and UMTS mode.
are there any other O2UK Customers who have managed to use their N95 as a modem? If so please can you post here and explain how i do it.
Any help is greatly appreciatedMessage Edited by n95nooby on 29-Oct-200703:05 AM

Do you have an IBM / Lenovo Laptop?
I do and I checked the event logs and noticed failure 680 which indicated that no dial tone could be obtained (cable not plugged it) or similar symptom.
I used to receive the error "one touch access failed to establish a network connection" using the Nokia PC Suite. I checked under start | settings | network connections and selected properties on the valid dial-up device. Then I noticed that the device was using the Internal Thinkpad modem instead of the Nokia. This explained the error 680 as the Thinkpad modem was not cabled to the phone line. After changing the connect using device from thinkpad to Nokia all worked well.
Let me know if this helps.

Using N96 as a modem via USB on vodafone

Ive been using the internet on my laptop through my mobile ever since i had an N95 now i have an N96 i carried on using the same PC Suite and as before its worked fine.
Couple of weeks back i finally got round to updating to the NSeries pc suite and checked for updates on the net at the same time. I tried updating my N96 to the latest firmware but it kept failing saying network was busy.
After doing all that i could no longer connect o the internet, i checked my phone and the software had not updated so i dont think its that.
Ive tried uninstalling nokia pc suite and re-installing it and the old version several times, i even restored my laptop back to a previous date before the pc suite update and it still didn't work after i installed it again.
There is a tool called Nokia PC Suite Cleaner which has helped others but didnt work either.
I've played around with the settings in one touch access and i noticed every time i go in it defaults to the laptop's modem even when i change it and save the settings it still reverts back to the modem on my laptop, not sure if thats whats causing it but I'm honestly out of ideas can anyone please help?

Hi,
you have to uninstall all!!! Nokia applications, folders and clean system registry first, then restart system and install NPCS anew.
This can help.
If you have Vista you can restore system before you've installed N-series suite. But I'm not sure, does it help in this case.
good luck

Till my last software update on my MacBook Air I have been able to use my iPhone as a modem via USB. Now it's not working anymore. Other functions via USB are still fine. Any ideas???

The Mac was recently upgraded so it is the Mac, or is it?
Looking for a common denominator: I'l start with wi-fi as the common communication medium.
Known:
A) Broken: iPhone —> wi-fi —> Mac.
B) Broken: iPhone —>USB—> Mac.
C) Broken: iPhone —> Bluetooth —> Mac.
D) Working: Mac —> USB —> other USB devices.
Unknowns:
E) Test Mac —> wi-fi —> a non-iPhone router.
F) Test iPhone —> wi-fi —> another wi-fi device.
Given not A, not B and not C either the Mac or the iPhone could be the culprit.
1) E        | F        : Non sequitur (deepens the mystery).
2) not E | F        : The Mac is the common denominator.
3) E        | not F : The iPhone is the common denominator.
4) not E | not F : All heck broke loose.
For case 1: It would be something on the Mac that prevents it talking to the iPhone through three media even though it can talk to other routers over wi-fi. That would be weird indeed, given the iPhone is talking to other wi-fi devices with no trouble.
For case 2: All of the Mac’s intranet media broken (wi-fi, Bluetooth, and wired-USB) and at least wi-fi works on the iPhone. Something weird is going on in the Mac.
For case 3: The iPhone router function is broken. Upgrade the iOS? Test using another iPhone?
For case 4: Throw everything in the trash and start over.

Modem via USB or Firewire

I have a iBook G4 with OSX 10.3.9. The ethernet port is damaged and I like to connect to my DSL modem via USB or Firewire port. What do I need to do?

hollywoodian,Welcome to the discussion area!
...and I like to connect to my DSL modem via USB or Firewire port. What do I need to do?
That is probably not possible. Your DSL modem may have a USB port but your iBook can only use that if the manufacturer of the DSL modem provides a Mac OS X compatible USB drivers for the modem. No DSL modems that I am aware of have FireWire ports.
Probably the easiest thing solution is to install an AirPort Extreme card in your iBook G4 and connect an inexpensive wireless router to your DSL modem. Then your iBook G4 will connect to the network wirelessly.

IMac using an external hard drive via usb 2.0

I am currently using a brand new 20" iMac with 4GB of ram and since this computer only has one firewire 400 port I'm using that for the deck and plugging in the external hard drive via usb 2.0, but I do have the option of plugging in firewire 400 to the hard drive. I've recently been having trouble capturing footage. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

You're experiencing the number one reason why not to use an iMac for video work: complete lack of expansion beyond a couple of firewire devises.
Yet, many folks will disagree with this assessment and their decisions are made solely on cost over functionality and reliability.
Go iMacs!

Using SonyEricsson z710i and iSync via USB

I just recently upgraded to a new iMac running 10.5.1 Leopard. Using Feisar's iSync plug in, I've been able to get my phone to sync via Bluetooth, but not via USB. On Feisar's web site they noted that a new bug has developed as of OS10.4.10 that causes USB based syncs to fail. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? I'd like to be able to sync my phone when it's docked and charging...

The apparent bug in Apple's USB drivers relates to the initial detection of the phone via USB during setup. Since 10.4.10 some phones that iSync was able to detect when scanning for devices, it no longer can. (iSync 'sees' more than one serial port connection, but chooses the one you can't sync on).
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have changed in either 10.4.11, 10.5 or 10.5.1, and there's no workaround. If you previously successfully synced via USB in an earlier OS X, then syncing still continues to work after upgrading if you don't delete the phone - it's just the phone detection that doesn't.
iSync's ability to sync some Sony Ericsson phones via USB was only added in 10.4.9 for a limited number of phones, and has never been as straightforward as the more established Bluetooth syncing.
For that reason (and many others) we would always recommend Bluetooth syncing over USB.

I was using a ps3 controller connected via usb as a gamepad when I had Snow Leopard installed - the other day I downloaded Mavericks and now it no longer works. Solutions?

I moved from 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.9 (Mavericks). Apple support won't help because it's not their hardware. It's not a playstation controller, it's Spartan brand, and it never connected via bluetooth (it continues to not connect via bluetooth in Mavericks which is fine). I always just plugged it in and it ran because apparently Apple included drivers for it from Snow Leopard onward. However, in Mavericks that's not the case, as when I plug it in nothing picks it up, and when I tried to connect it via bluetooth I would enter the pairing code and then it wouldn't pair. Anyone got any thoughts/ideas?

Thanks for no help. Such a supportive community. I figured it out on my own. I can only connect it via usb cable (which I'm happy with) and in order to do that I had to go through the bluetooth connection steps for some reason. It doesn't show up as paired but I did the steps outlined in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efk77f6d98Y -, plugged the controller in via usb cable and then it worked.

Finally got Time Machine to work via USB over the network, but...

it is SLOW. I am using AFP sharing and my first backup is going to be 43GB. I left it for 3 hours and it was only at 5GB. At this rate I dont know if I will ever find the time to backup my Macbook. My external is hooked up to my iMac via USB and my MacBook is wireless. I am using WPA security for the wireless network. Does this amount of time sound right? I mean I know it is the first backup, but at this rate it will take 24 hours!

you're doing pretty well. TM backups over a wireless link can be very slow, 1 MB/sec or so and the speed can vary a lot during the span of the backup. There seem to be "hard spots" that really slow things down. These are probably large collections of very small files.
Initial backups should be done via an Ethernet connection to the server.

Anyone using Creative extrenal sound card via USB w/ Mac mini

There is a sweet deal for Klipsch Ultra 5.1 for $299.99 at London Drugs in Canada.....I'd like to replace my old 4.1s. Id like to buy Creatives"Soundblaster Live 24-bitExternal. Is there any chance anyone out there has done such a thing with thier Mac Minis? Would like to know if someone has this step-up.
Thanks!

Creative usually doesn't make Mac compatible hardware, meaning that a great deal of Creative stuff that actually runs on a Mac is thanks to the effort of Apple, 3rd party developers or hackers. It's possible to make the Zen work with a Mac, but its support is extremely limited.
Try these:

Anyway, you can always install Boot Camp and run Windows on your Mac Mini whenever you need to access your Creative MP3 player.

Using a MB Pro in target disk mode via USB?

Can a MB Pro be used in target disk mode via USB instead of Firewire?
Thanks!

Perhaps because it's called FireWire Target Disk Mode, and is not designed to be implemented via USB.
Keep in mind that sustained data transfer rates with USB are much lower than FireWire (the 480 mbps for USB2 and 400 mbps for FW400 are max rates, not average sustained rate). Also, USB requires the CPU to manage data flow, while FW does not.
FW400 or FW800 are will work, just not USB.

Using N73 as modem via infrared

Hi,
I'am trying to set-up a configuration to use my N73 as modem via infrared (iRDA).
I followed the instruction provided with PC Suite but it didn't worked.
One thing is that the "N73 iRDA modem" choice doesn't appear in the modem list (I can see N72, N93, E60 and E61 but not N73).
Is there anybody around that succeded in the set-up of such configuration ?
Thanks for your help
Emmanuel

Hi Manta,
Thanks for your feed back.
I have PC Suite 6.81 installed and I get the following error message :
"Network connection failed. Modem is used by another application or is misconfigured". (I translate from the french message I have on my screen).
When I click 'help' it says :
- I should deselected infrared from PC Suite (I did)
- There could be another application using the same port (I changed the port but got the same message)
- There is a problem with the modem driver (I installed Win WP SP2 on my laptop and reinstalled the modem nothing changed)
The infrared configuration is working fine with my 6310i, so...?
Thanks and regards
Emmanuel
