Sometime back I accidentally got a connection between my Sony Clie TH 55 and Ngage to accidentally work. Brilliant! I immediately wrote down all the settings and stored them away for the day things went wrong. Which they did a couple of weeks back when I got the WSOD. Back to Nokia to have the firmware sorted and it was returned to me today. I did a restore but the conection details were lost. No problem I had them all safely stored on the Clie. So I put them all back in the phone and Clie and off we go. No. No connection. I have checked and rechecked and they are exactly as they were before.

I am trying to make the connection in the UK using O2 as my ISP using the Bluetooth connection. The Clie and Nage pair no problem and when I hit the connect on the Clie the Ngage asks if I want to accept the connection and I press yes and the Bluetooth symbol on the Ngage changes from a spot to a spot with brackets round it. Suggesting all is fine. However, after some time I get a message on the Clie saying "Modem Not Found".

I can use same connection direct from the Ngage and connect to the O2 GPRS service.

I have conacted the Sony CLie support who say talk to O2 who in turn say speak to Sony!!!

Does anyone know the settings I should be using or where I might find them or have any suggestions to make the Clie find the Ngage as a modem. All suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If anyone is vaguely interested here is the solution, and no thanks to O2 (useless), Sony (not any better and took a whole lot longer), Nokia (at least tried to help but to no avail).

The GPRS on the Ngage has to be set to "when needed" and "when available" goodness knows why but it works. To do this on the Ngage go to:

Settings
Connection
GPRS
and then select the first dialogue to "when needed".

Bingo, NetFront flys into life. Don't ask how I found this I haven't a clue I think I must have run out of options of things to change!
