WMobile problem, using VarioII as modem. Anyone had similar?

[Rizlam]

Hi everyone

I've followed the instructions on setting up my Vario II as a modem, and it all seems to go well, but when I do the 'connection;' the WModem utility shows the connection as live, flasheds the send/receive data twice and then forcibly stops the Modem at the Vario side.

I've tried both PC apps - the OS stock program and the one on the CD. Anybody getting a similar problem?

OK, Have now read the wiki and all related threads on it.

I can't be far wrong. It sees the phone, and attempts to connect.

The 'connection' light flashes up, and then the 'send data and receive data' lights flash together, three times, and then it cuts off the modem AND 'stops' wmodem.

I've tried everything now, including changing all the APN's as suggested. Has anyone ever successfully connected a laptop to a Vario II, and if so, what are your settings? It just never gets past 'registering on the network'!

I'd really appreciate some help because I can't work out what settings are left. It's a brand new installation so there's nothing odd going on.

Hooray! Helpful T-mobile support lady called Isobel saves the day.

Problem:

initialisation string at the PC:

1. needs to be lower case (would this make a difference?)
2. replace Internet with general.t-mobile.co.uk

Sorted. Just found out though that connections from a laptop are NOT covered by web and walk and are 0.75p per Kilobyte. Ouch!

Any way round that?

Upgrae to W'n'W pro - £10 rather than £7.50 though...
