Though there are other threads that give the solution. I am still confused on how to set this whole thing up.
1) What is an APN and how do i find that?
2) How do i find the x in the following dialup number to be used from PC
*99***x#
'x' corresponds to the number of the data account on your mobile you wish to use.
Thanks in advance
BTW i am from bangalore using Hutch GPRS (99 rs)
Thanks

Hi there! I'm not sure if the 99 rupees package allows full net access. Tell me how are you trying to access the net? Which phone are you using? The dial up access number for orange is *99***1#.

I am using a Nokia 6600 and trying to use my phone as a modem to connect to internet using my PC.
I too am not sure if this will work but nevertheless want to try and figure out if it does.
thanks

Yup it should work, i've replied to your query in the other thread. APN btw stands for access point...in case of hutch its portalnmms. Since you are usin a 6600 you can access web on your phone as well by conf proxy setting in opera/netfront etc |

First of all. Confirm whether you are allowed to surf net in the plan You've subscribed to. Then download the modem driver for the 6600 from the nokia website. Load it on to your pc. Then go to settings>control panel> and modem options and see if the 6600 is listed in there. How are you planning to connect your phone to the pc- via infrared?

Better call up the customer care and ask them if you're allowed to access the net. If not, you won't be able to do all this. ;-)

@ manish go into opera connection settings, there enable proxy settings...in proxy server slot enter your ip address ie 10.10.1.100, in port no enter 9401...save these settings and you have web access.
NOTE: All settings given above are for hutch delhi n work without any problems for me n my mates.
NOTE2: You still wont be able to access pop3 mail servers usin phone coz that requires an igprs apn.
NOTE3: I take no responsibility in case your phone self destructs after these settings...just kiddin  |
