Access Name;- internet
User name;- web
password;- web
Domain name not rqd

That should do it but not sure if you have to get it sorted also with Vodafone.

This is what I did;
1 Start / Settings / Connections Tab / Connections / Tasks / My ISP / Add new connection / Enter a name - Type whatever you want to call the connection, / Select a modem - scroll down to Cellular Line (GPRS) / Next / AccessPoint Name - internet / User Name - web / Password - web / Advanced button - check Use server-assigned IP address / Ok / Finish.

Try this it worked for me straight away http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=108654&thread=31&man=IMATE

extract from the forum

OK got it now, after speaking to a very nice lady at Vodafone!

For GPRS internet connection for UK Vodafone sim cards, there are two categories: Pay as you Talk and Contract

Navigate to the usual screen: Start>Setting>Connections>Connections>
Add a New Modem to My ISP (use Cellular Line (GPRS)

For CONTRACT:
- APN: internet (lowercase)
- User: web (lowercase)
- Pwd: web (lowercase)

For PAY AS YOU TALK
- APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk(lowercase)
- User: web (lowercase)
- Pwd: web (lowercase)

leave anything else blank!

For me, what I was getting wrong was using APN: internet instead of pp.vodafone.co.uk!

Hope this clarifies the issue!
