I access internet on my laptop by connecting it to wizard through bluetooth dialup. I have a GPRS connection setup on wizard and I dial *99# through laptop.

Is there a way I can monitor the speed and/or bandwidth usage on the wizard while connected through laptop. I tried SBP GPRS monitor, but it just works fine if I access internet only through wizard. When I connect though my laptop, it doesnt even say I am connected, though infact I am.

I have subscribed to a 100MB package but just monitoring the GPRS usage on wizard isnt enough for me, as most of my browsing is through laptop.

Is there a way, please let me know.

I was under the impression that SPB could be set to monitor the GPRS through a particular settting?

I have mine set to "o2mobileweb" and yes it monitors it on the phone, but I thought that it would monitor the connection, not where the initiation came from.

I'll try it and see.

Yup, I have pretty much the same setup. The problem is that when i connect through laptop, SPB doesnt identify the connection at all, nor do I get a GPRS connected symbol on the phone. However, on the laptop side its all connected and I can browse. It looks like *99# doesnt invoke the "mobileweb" or whatever connection we set.

Any other softwares that can monitor this traffic too ?
