Hi, I read a couple of threads in this forum about problems connecting to a K700i using an IPAQ 2210 Handheld PC. I followed the suggestions made and tried a number of different things, but I'm still getting "the answering modem has disconnected, please check your settings" "DISMISS."

I've been using the IPAQ 2210 and K700i together via bluetooth for at least 6 months without ANY problems, but last weekend it stopped working!



Here's my products and how they're set up:


Sony Ericsson K700i

Main Menu -> Connectivity -> Data Comm. -> Data Accounts:

I have 3 entries.

1) VFNZ Internet (External ID 1, APN: internet)
2) VFNZ Gateway (External ID 2, APN: internet)
3) MyVF WAP GPRS (External ID 3, APN: live.vodafone.com)

Do these seem correct? I believe I should be using 'VFNZ Internet'. ID 1.


IPAQ 2210

Start -> Settings -> Connection Tab -> Connections

The entry that used to work has the following settings. I did not change any of the settings on either device!

Bluetooth Dialup Modem selected from list

FINISH




Does anyone in New Zealand know why this isn't working?
