ihave a laptop with infra red port, running winXP

i also have a (O2 contract) Sony ericsson T68i, with infra red port

Both are communicating

can i gain access to the internet on my laptop, ie Iinternet explorer using the combination of the two

If so, how?

chris

Yup

Easypeasy :D

I take it you have a GPRS contract? Better & more cost-effective than GSM data dialup.

Goto O2 MobileWeb & select "Get Set Up" then follow instructions :D

Bluetooth is a better way of communicating between lappy & T68 but thats up to you.

I was quite happily sitting @ Leda last Friday, with my lappy VPN'd into my office over GPRS, doing emails whilst I awaited my shocks being rebuilt :D Also a bit of moderating as well ;)

:cool:

i must be a mong

went to the site, downloaded all the stuff, still cant get connected

says connection problems or summink ???

chris

You got GPRS?

yeh

the laptop is seeing the phone through infra red

do i have to do anything with the phone, ie turn on GPRS WAP or something or does the Laptop do that automatically

everything that should be set up on the phone, ie GPRS is.

chris :confused:

OK

Using the O2 Connect software, is that set up correctly? You should be using GPRS only (middle button RHS top of Advanced) & check that the modem being used is that for IR link.

You can give me a call if you wish - 07818 413 513 but it should all be there.

hi puff

tried sending an e-mail to the e-mail address on your profile , but for some reason i cant, anyway....

Im being a right mong with regards to connecting my laptop to the net using my t68i

will it be allright to phone you on the number above tomorrow sometime, and get some idiot proof talk through instructions

i've been to o2, downloaded the software, laptop can see the phone on infra red etc etc....but when i try to connect it goes all 'pete tong' .
should the modem shown on the o2 programme be T68i, cos mine is saying different and i cant work out how to install the T68i as a modem

my mob no is 07739808562 so you will know if it is me phoning

sorry to be a pain in the bum, im an IT baffoon

regards
chris
