Just picked up a Sony Ericsson V600i. Phone works great in 3G/GPRS mode when using the in-built browser, can access sites such as hp.com and google.com without issues. Am on $49 cap with 1 per 5 minutes mobile internet access. The phone is accessing the internet using the locked VFAU Gateway data account.

However, I haven't been able to get my PC or iPaq browsing the internet via the phone.

Using an XP dial up connection with *99***1# (VFAU Gateway,) the connection is established (says connected) but no sites or address are accessable. I do get charged a dollar for attempting to browse to say hp.com, however.

Using a dial up connection with *99***2# (VF Internet), the number connects, then the PPP link is terminated.

Got a new profile from Vodafone's web site for Internet (another VF Internet,) and this one has the same PPP link terminated problem.

Has anyone got their V600i with Vodafone prepay working with their PC or handheld? What's the trick?
