Hi everyone,

I have just recently purchased a bluetooth toshiba pocket pc e740. I also have a siemens bluetooth mobile phone.

I have established a connection between my pocket pc and mobile phone. However I cannot connect to the internet.

After the connction to my mobile phone is established, I click on connect on the pocket pc and it sends the dial up number to the mobile phone but disconnects straight away. I get a message on the pocket pc saying there is no modem connected.

Can someone please help with this. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to purchase additional software/hardware?

Thankyou

Moonshadow, have you had a look on this guide? The Bluetooth dialogs are for an iPaq, but the Connections dialogh you'll have on your Pocket PC are the the same.

Other things to check are

do you have data access on this account?

do you have the dial up information (number, APN name - you can get this from your mobile provider)?

Just for your information:
You can download a new BT-stack v4.0 for TOSHIBA PDA's from the following location:
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/updates/bluetooth/sd-card-drv/bltsddrv-bltsdcrd-40-en.zip
Install the ins_tosbt.CAB file on your PDA with ppc2002. The other file ins_tosbt2003.CAB is for ppc2003 only.

Regarding your problem:
Please check in your connection setup if the selected modem is still the right one.
