the navigator or cannot send e-mail.

When I get a message from my service provider, inviting me to visit some wap page, I can see it with no problem with my GPRS connection, but when I try to access to any webpage through the navigator or try to send or get email, I always get that the server cannot be found.

I have looked if the access point are the same, and they are. So I don't know why. Even when I paste the address sent by my provider in the navigator, I cannot access to it. I get the message: server error.

Any idea?

I assume you mean Web when you talk about Navigator. It's likely that you are trying to visit a WAP Page (especially if its from your service provider). The Web browser does not support WAP / WML. Instead you should use Services (this is found in the Media Folder).

It may also be (for email) that you are using a limited access point (WAP only). You will generally need a full internet access point for email. Alterntiavly your email settings may not have the correct server configured.

It resulted in a problem from the telecom company. I'm in China, and China Telecom does not give web traffic through GPRS with my previous card.

I changed the card (and phone number) and everything works wonderful.

Still cannot do an adhoc connection with the PC and access to the internet with the E61, and I find the solution of buying two Access Points not of my taste. Anyone knows of and WLAN card that can be configured as AP?
