Im stuck...
I have got a phone that has bluetooth and GPRS, and a GPRS 'dongle' to connect it to my pc. The can see each other, I can use the mobile to dial up using the phone 'line'. But, how do I connect using GPRS? under internet connections there are no options saying connect using gprs via bluetooth, or anything similar.
any suggestions?
Im using win 2000, but can change to XP with a few mouse clicks.

Give us some clues. Mobile type/netowrk operator. We've only done it with a couple of Nokia's here on O2.

With my blutooth software (the stuff that came with the belkin adapter), you can set up a bluetooth modem. set the dial number to *99# (which is the GPRS dial in number), it worked for my orange phone.
hope that helps.

Are you sure that Orange have enabled your GPRS service ? When I first got my SPV they forgot, which caused quite a bit of head-scratching.
