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,
