how could I use my wizard as a modem over GPRS for my Macbook pro?

[SkyFH]

I just went into Mac world and got my first mac laptop two weeks ago.
My wizard had already been upgraded to WM6.
In PC world, it's quite simple to use it as a modem over GPRS. Just turn on internet sharing.

How can I make it happen for Macbook pro?

Thanks.

if you still have you cd that came with your phone there should be a driver/how to on it for wm5 tethering.


wm6 pretty much your right just turn on internet sharing first then connect to GPRS and then plug it into you mac.

im sorry its off the top of my head but im sure that's it. im not at home at the moment. I don't think there is anything else to it. if I left anything out please someone correct me.

try that for now. good luck.

Maybe this will help:

While its for setting up a Mac / Linux / Other as a client to an XP box doing ICS, it should be the same with your phone being the ICS server (I think).

I just stepped into the Mac world myself with a 15" MBP myself and I love it!

Using Bluetooth, it is VERY easy.

Turn Phone and MBP Bluetooth on, pair the device if you have not done so using "Set up Bluetooth Device".

Make sure your phone is connected to the internet. Load IE or Messaging and make sure it's connected. Then you can quit that program.
Load Internet Sharing on the phone.
PC Connection should be Bluetooth PAN.
Network Connection should be Cingular GPRS (Or similar)
Then hit Connect on the bottom left of the screen.

Now on the Mac, click the Bluetooth Icon in the top right of the screen and choose Join Network On ... (Phones name)

Thats it, you will now be using the phones internet.

Thank you all!

It works for BT! I have read same article.

But I still failed in connecting with USB cable. Anyway, BT works.

Thanks again.
