My project for this morning was to get my month-old XDA2 working as a wireless modem for my laptop with irDA. "How hard can it be?" I thought.

Well...

Needless to say, there are no instructions (yet) on the O2 UK website, so I've hunted around.

I've found these links:
http://bugjr.com/jon/gprs.html for general guidelines
A link from this page (http://www.myxda.com/serviceandsupport/template/XdaIIHowToUse.vm) giving similar instructions
This hidden PDF (https://www.sourceo2.com/NR/rdonlyres/ej3dpbkpm6dx3wvn5tvo6s3acdk6snou5lzehd6iy3qayalo5q eoasutuzz2lgtlouzcjr43fzz35e3iadmr2qr6kna/CTS1299-1+Setup+Xda+Modem.PDF) from O2 UK for the XDA, also confirming similar instructions

Everything seems to be going OK. My laptop knows the XDA2 is there and can query the modem just fine. When I try to connect, though, the dial-up connection process starts, then ends a second later with a dialog saying:
"Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)"

I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem. Can anyone point me to the solution for this?

My connection is dialling number *99#
My modem init command string is AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO.UK" (and I've tried AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","MOBILE.O2.CO.UK","",0,0 too)
User name is O2Web and password is password, as required in the O2 PDF link above.

TIA

Anyone?

Obviously my topic title isn't pushing anyone's buttons around here...

[Note to self: make sure next title mentions Paris Hilton :wink: ]

It seems that I found the same info as you, but I can't get it working either.

I have had the same error as you, and also one that says the port is in use. In the end I gave up

I have since moved to the widcomm stack, as it was painfull to sync with the MS one and more than one PC.

The new stack has dialup networking in it, but though I can connect to it, it doesn't seem to go anywhere. I am also not sure about the wmodem app on the XDA. It seems to talk directly to RIL1. I don't know but it seems to use AT comands talking to RIL1... There should be some way to link this up with the BT stack?

So I can't get it working either way....

If anyone has any info, then that would be great.
