I used "193.113.200.195" and port 8080 as the proxy settings for almost a year on my laptop to connect to the internet, using my k800 as my modem with its monthly internet option. A few weeks ago, it has suddenly stopped working. Have the above settings changed and are no longer active, or is it my phone that has a problem? Does anyone know how i can correct it? thanks

Can u still browse with ur phone? If so then the problem lies with the lap top. Im with o2 also and can still use phone as modem.

Thanks for the replies! Mr Miyagi - i think o2 advise against using a mobile as a modem if it is essentially only for mobile use, so i dont think they would give out the settings. O2 probably cant help if the settings have not changed. What settings do you use, boysie, for ip and port? Do you have it set up in the same way? I have tried even switching off my firewall to see if that was the problem, but nothing works.. the settings i have at the top worked fine for months in both internet explorer and mozilla, so its very strange if no one else has had this problem
