The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Samsung Instinct Cell Phone: How to use it as a modem, connected to my laptop via USB ?

Asked by nwembly in Handhelds and PDAs, Computer Modems, Handheld and PDA Programming

Tags: Microsoft, Windows XP, XP, Samsung, Instinct (Cell Phone), M800, Sprint service provider

So, I want to use my Samsung Instinct Cell Phone (M800) as a modem, connected to my (HP) laptop.

I know the steps how to setup up (at least I think I do):
1) My Network Places-> View network connections->Create a new connection
2)Next->Connect to the Internet
3)Next->Set up my connection manually
4)Next->Connect using a dial-up modem
5)Type the name of your ISP in the following box: (I type) "Sprint PCS" (without the quotes)
6)Type the phone number below: (I type) "#777" (without the quotes)
7) Create this connection for: "Anyone's use", is what I choose.
8) User name: NONE
     Password: NONE
     Confirm Password: NONE
     Unchecked: Use this account name and password when anyone connects to the Internet from
                          this computer
     Unchecked: Make this the default Internet connection
9) Finish

So when I go to dial/ connect it doesn't work. On the screen of my phone it shows that it is connecting/ connected for about 2 seconds.
It then gives an error on my cell phone screen:
Error #67

Registration failure.  Your data username and/or password may be incorrect.  Please try again.  Note: Repeated entries of an invalid password during a 24-hour period will result in a 20-minute suspension.  A suspended data username may not be used until the suspension expires, even when submitted with the correct password.  If this problem persists, you may need to contact Sprint.

I have "Googled" it, and tons of people say that they have gotten it to work (without any logon info: pass or username). But no body goes into a lot of detail.

I have also call Sprint...the person I talked to said it was not possible. I could tell she was a NON-techical person, and did not know what she was talking about. I KNOW it is possible, so I call BS on her part.

Well if anyone can I help, this is worth 500 points
Thanks,
nwembly
