Hello there,
This is my first message here!!
If anyone can help me with this i would appreciate it very much. I have been looking around on the net for about four months. Spending at least 2 hours everyday just trying to solve my problem. Ive tried to resist blocking up forums with my problem but i cannont seem to find the anwser.
What i am trying to do is view wap sites and/or internet sites on my ipaq 5550 through bluetooth on my mobile phone. I have two mobile phones; one nokia 7650, and the other, the sharp gx30i. I am on the 'Vodafone Live!' $79 cap in Australia and also have a pre-paid account with Vodafone (Australian account as well).
I can view 'WAP via GPRS' on both of my mobile phones and 'WAP via GPRS' also works with both sim cards ($79 cap and pre-paid). The thing is I cannot view the internet OR WAP sites on my PDA when I bluetooth EITHER phones together. Both phones connect to the phone OK and show as connected to the internet but when i try to load up a web-page or a WAP-page it tries to load for about 5mins and comes back saying "the page you were looking for cannot be found".
I read somewhere that it is my APN that is wrong so i tried many, many diffrent variations of settings with no prevail. I have also read countless guides (eg. the one from filesaveas.com and others) and tried there method with my input settings but still no luck. If someone could at least help me to be able to view WAP pages on my PDA then i would greatly appriciate it. I do not mind which sim card i have to use ($79 cap and pre-paid) or which mobile phone i have to use (either the nokia 7650 or the sharp gx30i).
My settings on the gx30i mobile phone are;
Profile Name: Vf live! Aus

This is the only Connection profile on the phone and it connects to 'WAP via GPRS' fine with both the $79 cap sim card and the pre-paid sim card. I can surf around on WAP and download ringtones and such without a problem.

'WAP via GPRS' on this phone works fine with both the $79 cap sim card and the pre-paid sim card. The connection profile above is the first in the list of two. The other one is the settings for PXT (which works fine). I can surf around on WAP and download ringtones and such without a problem.

Both phones can easily and succesfully pair with the PDA and show that it is connected to the internet. When it tries to load a page it wont. It comes back with the message that the page cannot be found. My question is; what is going wrong and what do i need to do to resolve this problem. Also, are my settings on my phones and PDA correct and if not, what settings do i need.
I have downloaded the program that "pings" web pages but when i try to "ping" any page (whether it be a WAP page or a WEB page) it keeps coming back that the "request timed out" or something simular.
Sorry that this message is so long but it proves that i really want to view WAP and/or the internet on my PDA.
Thankyou very much to all those who even read this message, let alone reply to it!!
Thanx in Advance
