How to connect Laptop to internet?

[lehman05]

I have a Dopod D810/HTC3600i and a Laptop running Vista Ultimate.

My phone has a GPRS and a HSPA connection. I am trying to connect the Laptop to the phone via bluetooth to connect it to the internet.

I'm hoping someone can point me to a setup guide. I am having trouble with comports and vista configuration mainly.

Simple.

1. Go to Internet Sharing on your Trinity, select Bluetooth PAN and your connection settings.

2. Single Left Click on the "Wireless" icon next to the clock on your taskbar. Click "Connect to a Network"

3. Click "Set up a connection or network" near the bottom of the new screem.

4. Scroll down to the last selection called "Connect to a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN)" and click Next.

5. You may have to click "Add" here to add your Trinity if you haven't paired them already. Pair them.

6. Click "Connect"

Give it about 5-10 seconds and you're golden.

I don't have DSL with me usually, so I use my cracked-screen Trinity with AT&T's 3G plan. Works GREAT. Downside: battery life can SUCK if you aren't charging, so keep a USB cable handy.

you can also use the usb cord to use the internet.

make sure you have active sync installed for the generic rndis driver.

plugin your trinity and find internet connection sharing on the phone. once you enable this, it should auto connect and allow you to browse the web.

a added bonus to the usb cable method is that it keeps the phone powered up and charged.
