internet sharing

[khanem]

I tried to connect my laptop to the internet using Internet sharing and my blue angel GPRS connection without success. Anyone been doing this? any special configuration to be made?

1. make sure that your connection settings are correct
2. check your connection setting of your active sync (you'll find it in the options.)
3. just choose your internet sharing program in your blue angel
4. enjoy it..

Don't tell us "tried everything", because for me it means you have no idea what to do, so for sure you did not do the correct thing.
ANSWER/EXECUTE EACH POINT BELOW. Do not miss ANY (especially 3rd)
1. Do you want to use GPRS internet connection from you GSM operator to have internet access on your computer?
2. Does the internet connection work correctly in the PDA (you can browse websites using internet exploder)?
3. Disconnect BlueAngel from the computer. Disconnect your computer from Internet, if it has any other connection.
4. Run Internet Sharing application.
5. Choose a correct internet connection (if 2. was YES - default selection should be OK, but if it does not work, try other connections on the list, if available).
6. Choose USB connection on the 2nd list (you can play with bluetooth connection, when USB will be fine).
7. Press Connect.
8. When message shows up saying that device is ready, then connect BlueAngel to the computer using provided USB Cable/Cradle.
9. Wait, untill PC will recognize new device (Network Adapter) and test the internet connection.

If somehow this procedure did not work, pinpoint exact moment that did not work and explain what went wrong (exact message would be helpful).
