I know, some ppl did asked about this question b4, but the only answer i read was "u dont have to do anything, just connect the serial port and it will connect to internet".
My case is a bit different. After I connect my MSI USB BT (latest driver) device to my P800 through serial port, TipicME and the built in IE prompts me error that I did not set up a GPRS account. After this, the BT icon on my desktop just turn greenish and wont response to any click at all.
I am doomed after this, BT on my desktop dont work anymore until i reboot my PC. There seems to be some steps to take to make my P800 connect to internet rather than just connects to the serial port. Any kind soul mind to point it out, please?

first of all, can u synchronise contacts, tasks, etc with BT? if ur P800 can synchronise with ur PC, then u can share ur PC Internet connection with ur P800. 'synchronise' means the arrows on the 'phone connection link' is not split
try with Opera!! Internal browser requires u to setup a dummy GPRS account. try Opera to get rid of other configuration first.
and finally, there's nothing extra software, setting, steps to share ur PC Internet connection with P800. They are all already there.
btw, greenish icon on task bar means they are connected to me, whats ur? |

I also have the MSI USB BT, All u need to do is put P800 BT to discoverable. then right click on the BT icon in the windows bar on your PC, select quick connect, select BT serial port, select add device. The MSI BT device should then find you P800 and connect to it..
Any probs PM me.
