Using Pre Plus as a modem with laptop

Can I use the Palm Pre Plus as a modem tethered to my laptop with VZ Access Manager software from Verizon. I used this method before with my Blackberry Pearl ($15/mo). I don't want to pay $40/mo to Verizon to use WiFi (Mobile hotspot) feature on Palm Pre Plus.
Thanks

Hi
Can someone help me understand this product please? I've been a BB user till now but want to switch over to the PPP:
1. Can it be tethered to the laptop as a modem AND work as a phone at the SAME time?
2. What are the high speed connectivity - do they compare with a broadband at home or the 3G USB modems/sticks one uses on the laptop? If so, are there any limits to the data usage?
3. I am paying 60 dollars a month for the USB modem AND 70 dollars a month for the unlimited WW data capability on my BB. It appears with the PPP I can get both the things done in the 29 dollar plan for US? Or maybe the 70 dollar plan for unlimited WW usage that can be used on my laptop too with high speeds? AM I correct or reading too much into it here? I am with Verizon currently. Does anyone else offer anything better that takes care of both the things - high speed internet access on my laptop AND a US/Canadian voice plan (I have it currently for USD 99.95/Mo - 1350 minutes)
4. Is the PPP constantly connected to the internet like the BB is for instantaneous emails? And are there any limits to the enterprise activation as they are on the BB of one only?
5. Any better alternatives here from Palm?
Many thanks folks!

Any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

Not too common with G4 PowerBooks as they have an internal modem. I can't find Apple's sepcs but a third-party ad shows it minimally needs 10.4.3 or higher and a G-series processor. That should work.
However, the Apple version is expensive used. I googled Apple MA034 external modem and found an Amazon page that showed other compatible modems that were much cheaper.

How do I use a Netgear CM400 cable modem with my Time Capsule router?

I switched out my TWC modem for one I bought. I called and activated a CM400 Netgear modem with time Warner cable. They said it is activated and responding. My time capsule is on a green solid light but i can't connect to the Internet! Why??

Your previous setup may have been a modem router and the TC is connected in the wrong mode.. it should be dhcp and nat with a pure cable modem.. is it?
You also might need to put the TC into the correct mode.. then power off the modem for about 15min.. (try 5min first).. power up the modem.. wait 5min and then power up the TC .. it should grab the public IP and route that to the network.. reboot all the clients so they get fresh connection and see if that works.
If not give us a few screenshots from the airport utility of how the TC is setup.

How to use pre-defined scenarios for RosettaNet with XI 3.0

Hi all.
   I am working in Comgroup Shanghai co. ltd. which is partner of SAP China.
   We have a potential customer who use RosettaNet as their Supply Chain EDI system.
   I would like to make a demo for demostrate the pre-defined scenarios for RosettaNet RNIF 2.0 packages.
   Where can I find such guideline ? I have checked the article: implementing RosettaNet with XI 3.0, but it cannot help me.
   Another question is how I can develop my own scenarios for the RNIF standards which are not included in XI RosettaNet business package ?

Hi Andy,
See the instructions below after you installed the RosettaNet STK.
Below given is the sample config for PIP3B2 Scenario. Part I is using STK and Part II is using 2 XI systems.
<b>Part I. Test Using STK</b>
In your XI ID:
1) Define both the parties 1) Shipper(Your Partner) 2) Receiver(Your company) with identifiers like DUNS Number.
2) In ID goto>Tools>Transfer Integration Scenarios from IR-->select the scenario "PIP3B2_Receiver" from the drop down list.
3) Follow the 4 steps in the config wizard.
4) While creating your CC, create it from the channel template delivered with the RosettaNet BP.
   4.1) Specify the URL for STK which should be in the following format
http://<STK Server>:<port>/rosettanet/servlet/listenerServlet?userId=<Party Name>
   4.2)In the location fields, enter your location and your partner location.
In your STK
1) Start the RosettaNet STK.
2) enter the UserID<Partner Name in XI>
3) Select the Test Scenario, 3B2V01.01-AdvanceShipmentNotification-0001-Scenario-Shipper
4) Enter Global Business ID(DUNS Number) and Location ID for both the partners. These fields should be same as in your R/3 Party configuration.
5) Enter the URL as follows:
http://<XI Server:<J2EE_Port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF
If everything is configured correctly as mentioned, you should be able to test your single-action scenario.
<b>Part II Test using another XI System</b>
For these follow the steps above for XI Config.
Configure one XI System as PIP3B2 Shipper using the Scenario "PIP3B2_Shipper" and config wizard as mentioned above.
Configure the other XI as PIP3B2 Receiver using the scenario "PIP3B2_Receiver" and config wizard.
In the Url field, specify the URL as follows:
http://<XI host>:<J2EE_Port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF
Hope this helps.

Sam Raju

Using BT HH3 as adsl2+ modem with ASUS rt-ac68u as...

I have bought an ASUS RT-AC68u router to replace my BT HH3. Unfortunately I only realised when I unboxed it that it did not support ADSL2+ connection, which is what I have in the house. Currently my connection is phone line > Filter > HH3. I would like to use the HH3 as an ADSL modem and have Phone line > Filter > HH3 > ASUS router.
My hardware is set up as follows:
ADSL cable into ADSL port on HH3
Ethernet cable from HH3 gigabit port to ASUS WAN port
I have seen other posts suggesting switching off wireless and DHCP on the HH and setting up the new router with a static IP and DNS to the HH3’s address. I have tried this and unfortunately the asus router cannot receive an internet connection.
Is there anything I am doing wrong or could try?
The posts i got the above information from are:

https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-Broadband-Queries/BT-HomeHub-2-as-a-modem/td-p/220889
Please help.

Skip any quick setup wizard, as its not applicable.
Use manual settings and simply disable DHCP, and change the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.15.
You will then need to access its interface at the new IP address.
I am not familiar with the ASUS, so you are going to have to read the full manual, and work out how to change the LAN settings.
Personally, I would just put it away until you get Infinity, and simply use the HH3, as you are not going to gain very much, unless you are using it as a wired wireless extender to another location in the house.

Using Old First Generation Firewire iPod With Laptop USB

I was hoping that someone could help me out here.
I have an old 1st generation iPod that I bought back in 2003. It holds 10G. It used the Firewire cable, but now I have a Dell Inspiron laptop that has only USB. I tried to plug in this iPod using a USB/Firewire hub, but the device is not recognized by iTunes and furthermore, the iPod does not seem to respond with the "Do Not Disconnect" message. It seems like there's no communication at all. My questions are the following:
1) Can a 1st generation iPod be recognized in iTunes?
2) Can I use a USB/Firewire hub to connect my iPod to the USB?
I really don't want this 1st generation iPod to go to waste! I hope I can still use it with up-to-date technology.
Anyone care to lend me some assistance as to what I can do to make it work with USB?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Dell Inspiron B120 Windows XP 1st Generation iPod

A firewire iPod isn't going to work with USB so you
can drop that idea. However, your notebook has a PC
Card slot, right? If so, you should be able to find a
FireWire PC Card which will let you sync your iPod
with the notebook.
Thank you Chris and dwb. Your feedback is very valuable. Chris, thanks for reassuring me that iTunes will still recognize my OOLLLDDD iPod. Dwb, thanks for referring me to the PCMCIA Firewire card.
Take care.

search for "8900 as modem".
The directions I used are by "kcladygemini", It works!
I have Vista and an 8900.
Good luck.

Using Pantech 4G LTE USB Modem with Chromebook

Got a Chromebook for Christmas, but I don't have wi-fi at home. I do have the UML290 modem for my windows laptop.
Can I install VRZ manager on Chromebook, and use the USB modem on it to connect to the internet?
TIA
Rick

No! Chromebook uses Android OS, you will a CradlePoint MBR95 or Pepwave Surf on The Go Router to insert the UML290 and then you can use the built in wifi in the Chromebook to connect to the router and get internet access.
You can get the gear at 3gstore
Here is some Reviews on the MBR95 works like a champ

Pictures worth a thousand words and stuff:
http://bj.angeltowns.com/images/log_cs.jpg
Here I've disconnected the physical input object from the sequencer object (called "to recording & thru")
I've created a channel splitter object, and cabled the physical input object to it. I'm now in the process of option-clicking the channel splitter's output cables (one for each MIDI channel) - ()option-clicking the output cables is a shortcut way to cable to objects on different layers) - and selecting channel 1 (and thus cable 1) to go to Audio Instrument 1, channel 2 (cable 2) to Audio Instrument 2 etc.
So the MIDI comes in to Logic, gets split into individual channels, and each channel goes to it's own audio instrument via a cable, which you can put any plugins on.
You can't record into Logic this way now, as we've bypassed the sequencer, but I think you need it simple at this stage

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 9500 to access internet with laptop

I have a basic laptop that is not connected to the internet. Is it possible to use the 9500 to connect my laptop to the internet.

Absolutely. It is even quite straightforward and well-documented. You'll need to set up internet access on your phone first - your service provider will likely tell you how to do this.
Once that's done you'll be able to use the phone just like any old modem. But, you'll need to install drivers onto your pc first. The drivers are downloadable from this site, and are also included in the PC Suite application (also downloadable from this site). In order to connect the phone and the laptop together you have a choice of what technology to use. The choices are bluetooth (good - phone needs to be in same room as laptop), infrared (not quite so good - phone needs to be within a foot or so of the laptop and the Infrared ports on both laptop and phone need to be in line-of-sight with each other) or using the usb cable that came with the phone (good, except you need to carry the cable with you). I seem to remember that the PC Suite application takes a lot of the pain out of setting all this stuff up for you. Plus the phone manual (again, downloadable from this site) will help. One final thing - if you're planning on using the phone just to dial up your ISP, you're talking very slow connection speeds. It might be worth looking at gprs or edge. You don't need to do anything with the phone, just talk to your cellular service provider to get the service enabled. HTH, Pete

Pre Plus Mobile Hotspot laptop connection issues

Hello All.
I think this is a duplicate post because I hit enter accidentally! Sorry.
I am having a problem connecting my laptop to the internet using Mobile Hotspot through VzW. I have activated the feature on VzW, have the software loaded on my Pre Plus and have tested it successfully with my daughter's iTouch device. She was able to easily connect and access the web while we were in the car.
My laptop recognizes the MHS as a WiFi access and connects to it initially. When it tries to acquire a network address, it fails. I says that the connection has limited or no connectivity. I cannot get on the web with that.
My question is what settings I might need to set on my laptop to help with this connectivity. I have WAP Personal set with the appropriate Key on both devices.
Any thoughts from anyone? I would appreciate any help. I like the concept of the feature but not being able to connect my laptop really puts a damper on my enthusiasm!
Thanks for any help you can give.

I had the same issue. I resolved it by using a passcode that has 8 lowercase letters and no numbers...

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

Is Palm Zire 21 Software compatible with Palm Pre Plus Cell Phone?

I have an older Palm Zire 21. I love all the features. However, now I am trying to consolidate my Windows (vista) Calendar with my Palm and it is not compatible. I thought I would purchase the newer Palm Pre plus Cell Phone in order to have all of my contacts and calendars on my phone as well as my laptop. Though no one can seem to answer my question: Can I import my contact and calendar from my Zire 21 to the Palm Pre Plus?
Many thanks to who can answer this for me. I greatly appreciate your time and assistant.

webOS (the new Operating System) from Palm does not natively sync to your computer, but to the "cloud" (online servers).
Palm offers a program that will read your Palm Desktop information, and transfer it to Google. This is only a one-time transfer, and not a sync solution. See this thread.

Help with Pre Plus turning off and not restarting

I've had my Pre Plus since 2010 without issues until I went to Arizona in April. It turned off by itself and it's never been the same since. I think I've got the cause narrowed down to either overheating and/or prolonged phone/web use. It's warmer now in Portland and the phone turns off more frequently. It's happened every day since April.
The frustrating part is that it won't restart until it cools off. So, if I'm at home, I put it in the freezer to get it restarted faster.
Sometimes, I get the palm/rom message but going through that process hasn't helped.
Also, this happens with the original battery and the extended battery.
Does anyone have a fix or recommendation for this? Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

Two things to try; most likely you phone actually has an issue and you need to set up at appointment at your nearest apple store ot have it fixed (apple.com/retail) pick whatever store is closest.
However; windows computers often "attack" ipods or iphones thinking they are a virus. You may want to turn off your virus protection and plug the phone in again and try restoring it without any virus stuff on.
However, it sounds as long it's not a software issue but a hardware one and restore won't fix that.
