View web on 9500 via PC connection

I've heard it's possible to connect a laptop to the Web and view the web page on my communicator but I'm having trouble doing this.

So far I have installed Nokia Network Bridge and got this working fine. When I view Network and Dialup Connections on my Win2000 machine I see Local Area Connection 4 (Nokia 9500 Remote NDIS Device) enabled OK.

If I do a ipconfig /all from the cmd line I can see this too.

On my communicator I've set connections > Data cable mode to IP passthrough
On connections > Internet setup I've created a new access point called IP Pass
It has: Network ID = Internet
Internet settings type = IP passthrough

On the Advanced tab, I need to set values for:
IP address
Subnet mask
Default Gateway
Primary DNS
Secondary DNS
IPv6 DNS mode etc.

I've looked at the cmd screen for these values and tried entering what I think are the correct ones about 1000 times but when I press my Web button and try to access yahoo or something I just get the message:
Internet: could not find speified Internet server.

What exactly are the values I need to enter in the Advanced tab? and is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks in advance.
