Hi,

I've just got an SX1 and it seems great. I have managed to pair it with my G4 powerbook and trasnfer files. But try as i might, I cannot manage to make the powerbook use the SX1's GPRS connection, despite getting all the settings direct from O2 - my network provider. Anybody got an idiots guide to how to do this?

I read that it's possible via a program called 'Share2Blu2th',
(here: http://www.andybudd.com/archives/2004/04/mobile_phone_advice/)
but cannot find this program through google, and wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.

Help?

Gratefully,
David.

Doesn't the Mac detect the SX1 as a Bluetooth or infrared modem? If so, do whatever needs to be done to set up a modem, pick the SX1 and then dial *99***1# and the phone will make a GPRS connection.

At least that's how you do it with Windows.

If needed (it doesn't work otherwise), and is possible to define on the Mac, specify an additional dial-string as +cgdcont=1,"ip","internet"
