Hi all,
I am tryint to use my nokia 6300 as a modem for my pc. my pc has
windows xp and I am using Internet Explorer 7 for browsing. I have
made a dial up connection through the new connection wizard from
"network connections" in control pannel. In "network connections" when
I right click on this dial up connection and click connect, it connect
and shows as connected. but when i go to explorer and try to open some
web page, message comes address is not valid and in address bar it
shows "http:///"; , no matter what i typed there. In network
connections when I right click on my dial up connection and choose
"status", it shows there bytes sent 0, bytes received 341, error sent
0 and error received 1.
I am not able to understand the problem. I am using airtel's sim and
gprs is enabled. I am able to open wesites in mobile but not on pc
through my mobile.
Can somebody please help me ??
ragards,

Did you download the modem drivers ?- Hide quoted text -

no, but xp shows the modem installed, and that should mean the drivers
are present, right ?
and further if you have read my problem, there i have said that it
shows me in system tray that my dial up connetion is connected, how
that would be the possible without modem drivers. please correct me if
i am wrong any where.

There is a little more to just opening a connection to the phone and
accessing the internet. The system tray is showing that the PC is connected
to the phone, but not necessarily that the phone has connected to the
internet. Exactly how this is achieved depends on the model chosen by the
phone manufacturer. Generally, the phone itself stores a profile (actually
these days they can store several profiles), that specifies the access
point, username, password and a few other parameters. When the PC attempts
to 'dial' a connection it does so using a phone number that is actually a
code telling the phone to connect using GPRS (usually in the form '*99*#').
The phone still needs to be told which profile to use and how this done
varies between phone makers. ISTR that Nokia use an initialisation string
(it used to be of the form 'AT+CGDCONT=,,' when Nokia only supported a
single profile). However, other makers incorporate this into the phone
number and Nokia may have followed suit.
The Nokia website used to have a number of 'HowTo' guides on many aspects of
getting their phones to work with various bits of kit. It may be worth
having a shufty.
