Hi,

I'm trying to get an internet connection on my Toshiba M-30 Satellite laptop through Bluetooth and my Sony Ericsson T618 cell phone here in China. I've got a China Mobile SIM card that allows the cell to access the Internet. I referred to your very clear directions on setting up a Bluetooth Internet connection for a laptop; I've also seen the thread "How to dialup H2210+SonyEricsson P800 via BT connect to Internet in China" (started 22/09/2003). I set the dial-up number for the Internet connection to *99# as advised in that thread. When I do this, I get the message that I'm connected, but if I try to open my browser (Mozilla Firefox) or Outlook, neither can access the Internet. You mention that "init string must be +CGDCONT=1,"IP","cmnet" ", but I'm not sure what an init string is or where to enter it. Also, where would I enter "IP" and "cmnet"? Or am I completely confused and should be doing something else entirely to connect?

Thanks!

Liberty

Open your Control Panel and click the Phone and Modem options icon.

Change to the Modem tab and double-click the entry Bluetooth Modem. You should see a dialog with a tab called Advanced. Here is where you enter the init string.
