Found instructions for using a Bold 9000 as a laptop modem (Win2000, XP, Vista) on a Vodafone eForum...
<forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7125>

Followed the instructions and laptop shows connection (icon in lower right shows connection at 115.2Kbps), but IE does not open a page.

I tried to ping my home IP address from a dos box and it comes back 100% loss. Therefore I do not think it is this a problem with IE ? (I might switch to opera or chrome soon)

Is it possible that setup is provider specific ? (my provided is T-Mobile)

Other ideas?

cheers... it is provider specific, as I guessed.

unfortunately no guidance on FAQ for T-Mobile Germany (only TMo US)

I still need a few TMo Germany specific items
1. initialization command (TMo USA is +cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com")
2. username: (blank does not work)
3. pasword: (blank does not work)

1. initialization command> +cgdcont=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile"
2. username: t-mobile
3. pasword: t-mobile

SUCCESS !!! Thanks for the tip dbltap!
