WIRELESS MODEM CONNECTION PROBLEM

[orinoco]

Hello:

I am using the "Wireless Modem" to connect my laptop to the web via GPRS on my PDA2k. When I use the connection via USB (cable between laptop and PDA2k), it works perfectly. When I do it via Bluetooth, I get the error message "Error 734: The PPP link control protocol has been terminated" right after it tries to register the computer on the network. It seems to recognize the username and password fine, but then it shows the error message and drops the connection.

Any clues as to why this is happening? I have the exact same settings in both the USB and BT dialup connections. I'd like to be able to use BT because it is one less cable to carry around.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Fernando

Hi, i read in other forum about this problem, is it setting problem or XdaII problem?

I plan to get one mainly for this purpose, if it is a problem then i have to get something else.

any one please help to clearify.

thanks

I did this OK with my old MDAII, so I think this is not a Himalaya (MDA2, XDAII) problem, but rather a Blueangel (MDA3, PDA2k) problem.

I had this problem recently while abroard.

Even though it "dials" the default GPRS connection you need to manually enter the correct APN name in WirelessModem->tools->settings. It defaults to the APN of the first GPRS account entered rather than the one currently active.

Hope this helps.

Do you know which ROM your version of wmodem came with? (wmodem is installed with the OS ROM not the Ext ROM, right?) Looking at mine, which I think is from i-mate, there is no tools menu in the wmodem applet, and therefore, no place to set/check the APN...

I figured my question out. It is included in the ExtRom. The version included in OEM_TMO_NL_IssueFix_142115.sa.CAB in T-Mobile_MDAIII_Ext_Rom_142115_WWE.rar has the Tools menu.

ysatti, there are a few versions floating around. Try this modem driver:
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/USB_modem
or this one:
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/O2_UK_Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe/

If those don't work, try the attached CDMA version, even though you have a GSM phone. (Remeber you have to be logged in to see attachments)

I don't know what's up, I did not make any change on setting and installed new progame this period. Last the bt is worked, I can send and received files between the pc and mini.

Hi!
Did you add in modem properties initialisation string?
For me: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","www.umc.ua". I didnt use modem dialer, only usbmdm driver. Connection set up manualy. Sorry my little English :)).

Even though it "dials" the default GPRS connection you need to manually enter the correct APN name in WirelessModem->tools->settings. It defaults to the first GPRS provider entered rather than the one currently active.

That's work for me. After add the APN, now I can use bt wireless modem.
Thanks

bartman,

Glad it helped.

Dasert75's solution should work as well, and for people without the "tools menu" because it does the same thing.

Seems silly that it uses the default GPRS account but does not get the APN from the settings for that account though.
