Cannot connect to TMobile GPRS net with PPC2k3

---

upgraded to the 4.00.10, and have been unable to connect since.

Settings are:

Cellular Line (GPRS)
internet2.voicestream.com
Blank on all authentication info.

Recieve a "The answering modem has disconnected. To check your modem settings......." message with the topion to dismiss. I know I must be missing something, the default settings should work. I am in Northwest Florida in an area covered by the GPRS internet, although Powertel is shown as my local GSM provider.

I've had it working before, on the stock Tmobile ROM, then the upgrade off the site, but since the PPC2003 upgrade its been no dice.

Any ideas? TMobile is stumped, along with the other guys at my Circuit City (we retail T-M there, and the rep and I are both on the new test ROM on our PPC's). His however, works.

Try a soft reset first and if that fails, changing your AP to internet3.voicestream.com or wap.voicestream.com and see if that helps.

I can connect when I tried wap.voicestream.com, however, I am unable to load any pages or connect to anything. Much like a PC which cannot get any DNS resolution.

Well thats a step in the right direction at least, how about emaill and MSN Messenger! Are they working? Also try running welcome.exe thats located in your windows root folder.

Same Here

If I connect VIA the T-Mobile VPN I get "answering modem has disconnected".
And if I connect Via T-Mobile Internet it connects but I cant go anywhere, either via web or IM.

Incidentally to get in to manage the connections, when you click on settings it doesnt automatically give you the option to change existing settings, you need to go into add new and cancel and then the option to manage existing connections appears.....weird...

Anyway, anyone any suggestions.

Also running SBP's GPRS Monitor V. 2 Build 224

No ability to connect to anything, HTTP, or AIM type service when on WAP. internet2 and internet3 don't answer at all.

If any US T-Mobile customer is running the 4.00.10 software and is able to connect to GPRS, please list all settings used to connect, in the connection settings, GPRS authorization type, etc; just list as many settings as possible.

I had someone in my CC the other day who told me about the 4.00.10 ROM being available here, and he was on GPRS. If I see him again, I will make sure to clone his settings, or backup his ROM.

Sounds like its about time to try a hard reset also whats you radio stack version?

Im using the included 6.24.00 update radio stack. Just completed hard reset on device, still no go. I'll try getting in touch with T-Mobile, I'll just have to neglect mentioning the ROM version Im running. Doesn't seem to be too many differences in the setup of the connections, just in getting them to work :evil:

OK, now whats the status on your radio light does it come on at all?
Also what radio version were you running before the upgrade?
If it was the sock T-Mobile version I'd try installing the newer AT&T stack.

Anyhow if you would like to give that a try drop me an email at 1qman@msn.com and I'll forward you the needed four files. As a matter of fact I just downgraded back to the AT&T stack myself just to see if there were going to be any problems and the downgrade went without a hitch.

Hmmm....
Mine has started working now!
I did uninstall the SPB GPRS Monitor, not sure if that has anything to do with it!?! Need to play with re-installing it I guess.

I turned off AUTO PICK for the GPRS connection and forced it to use internet2.voicestream.com

Yay!

Ok, crap, after further playing it is back to how it was previously...i.e. not working again!
Are there any network problems right now?
