First you are going to need to make sure that you have connected your computer and your Cingular 8125 together via a Bluetooth connection. I trust that most of you out there with an 8125 can pull this off. For those of you who cannot, the basic steps are to make your computer and/or your Cingular 8125 “discoverable” in your Bluetooth Control Panel (computer) or Bluetooth Settings (connection manager -> Bluetooth Settings). Once you get them connected, go into the “Bluetooth Devices” Control Panel on your computer…you are probably already in here if you are just setting things up. Make sure that you see Dial-Up Networking (DUN) in the “Services” tab for the Properties of your Bluetooth Device (aka Cingular 8125). Click the Properties button for the Cingular 8125 then select the Services tab. You should see it in there, if you don’t then you need to set your deal up correctly…it should be there.
Now on to the connection settings:
The following is how you set up your computer to connect, via Bluetooth, to the internet via your Cingular 8125. This is not officially condoned by Cingular as far as I know….or by me, but I am not official. So, have a day:
First you are going to need to setup a Bluetooth connection between your phone and computer. I just finished explaining this right? So, make sure your computer and Cingular 8125 are paired via Bluetooth.
Add a new Dial Up Networking (DUN) connection by going to the Start Menu and then right click (use the right mouse button) on My Network Places and then select Preferences.
Click the “Create New Connection” link at the top of the left navigation bar. A wizard will pop up. Click the Next button and then select the Connect to Internet and then click the Next button again. Select “Set Up My Connection Manually” and then click next. Select “Connect Using a Dial-Up Modem”.
The next window that pops up will show you the modems that are connected to your computer. If you do not see something like “Standard Modem Over Bluetooth Connection” listed there (or however you have connected your phone to the computer), then you will need to go back and get your phone talking to your computer. Select the correct (if you have multiple) modem connection over Bluetooth and click next.
Type Cingular 8125, or whatever you would like to name this connection on your computer, in the box and click Next.
Type *99# as the phone number.
Here is the information to type in the next boxes:
user name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: CINGULAR1
Select the box about using the connection for anyone that uses your computer (unless you don’t want to) and uncheck the second (unless this is your only or default connection).
That is how you do it. I just tested this out on my Windows XP box and Cingular 8125 and everything connected fine. I am sure some of you will have questions, please just make sure you have double checked all of the settings and procedures above before asking. Cheers.
