Hi
I had the same trouble with P900 and the cable, pls try this
1. install the suite watever version it really doesnt mattr
2. the arrows that is the fone connection link double click on it and uncheck the USB COM3 selection
3. then go to control panel choose phone monitor options and disable com port 3. dont think im crazy it will work.
4. go to modems and choose add modem and choose select modem from list, choose sony ericsson frm the left side and Choose Sony Ericsson P900 Series Serial Modem.
5. the pc suite will have the drivers ready
6. then manually go to dial up connection and add a new connection, choose the modem and give the necessary dialup numbers.
get the dial up numbers from ur service provder, and also ask them if the username and the pwd has to be entered.
7. now choose device manager, choose the com port 3 and change the speed to 115Kbps,
8. go to modems again choose the p900 modem and change the maximum speed settings to 115Kbps
now buddy try dialling it should work, do this and get back to me if it still doesnt work, pls tell me the message that u get also.
all the best

check in ur device manager if SEMC DSS-20 Syncstation cable is enabled and working.
ill also check out other options, other than that, did u follow my msg exactly step by step, just keep in mind that u have to disable the com port the fone is connected before trying to connect. pls let me know.

thanks again.
checked SEMC DSS-20 Syncstation cable - working.
followed it step by step exactly.
Disabled com port in phone monitor options.
I also have my DSL modem connected through USB 1, and have the phone connected to USB 2, which is recognised as com 3 after installation. is that a problem?
I have disconnected the DSL modem and tried it alone without any luck. |

please tell me which com port ur usb1 is using, if at all its usin a com port, coz as i told u earlier, com1 and com3 are one and the same, and one more important thing, apart from disconnecting the dsl modem physically, also remove it from the modems in control panel, fcourse if only you would be able to install it again later,
there are times when some modems which work through the usb port dont work when there are other modems connected.

I tried removing the other modem and starting it all again without any success. The phone connection link recognises the phone when i connect it to the cradle, and moves the arrows, however the computer connot for some reason connect to the phone for dial up connection at all. from the wizard and from manual installation.
I'm sure i'm not the only person with this problem, and if anybody has anything more to offer please dont hesitate to say so.

@Closecat
Buddy, before trying to connect to the net, you please double click on the phone connection link and uncheck the com3 so that it shows "NOT CONNECTED", the go to control panel on ur phone and choose cable and choose modem and then try connecting please, i guess i explained the same thing in my first post to u.
then please also go to control panel of your computer and then choose the phone monitor options and enable ur com port 3.
pls get back to me.

I had serious issues with the cradle and could not get it to work at all and the only solution that wirked for me was a wipe of my harddrive and a new installation of win 2000 |
