Hello,

Maybe it is post before, but is it possible that you can reach your GMail-box with the help of a netBook? Or is the enabling of SSL/TSL the problem?


Kind regards,

Kees.

>A couple of months back I made a posting asking for advice on how to set up a Nokia E60 as an infrared modem for my Mbook.  I got no response, so I try again.
I have been using (my now both deaf and mute) Ericsson T39 as a modem for years. After having tried for months to get the Nokia work, I cant get rid of the feeling having bought the wrong phone.<

I have previously posted all the information necessary to use the Nokia 6230 and 6230i as an infrared modem with a Psion 5mx.  I have never seen or used a Nokia E60 but had a look at the Nokia website and would be surprised if there is so much difference that my guide would not work, though you might have to make some changes.

I'm very wary of posting my guide again because it's so long and apologise in advance to Psioneers that don't really want to see it again.  Sometime soon I'll post it on the web to avoid this but, for now, here it is again.

I hope you have success!

-----------------
I should make some things absolutely clear.  Firstly editing your own phone or computer settings is entirely at your own risk.  If doing so makes your phone inoperable in another way (e.g. MMS) don’t blame me.  Secondly, if you search on the Internet you will find variations of these settings that may or may not work with your phone.  I can find no satisfactory explanation for why this should be other than, possibly, that the details of the various settings have evolved over time and in response to individual phones’ capabilities (though I can suggest no reason why this should be the case or why even it should be possible).  But, as you will see, GPRS settings can be very complicated and, because of the nature of the phone keypad, be very laborious to input or edit.  Finally, some of my settings defy logic (e.g. the setting that tells the Psion that my mobile phone modem is a “fixed
line”) but that’s how it works so I just accept it.

You should also remember that to connect over GPRS you will need to have your SIM card/ account “data enabled” (call your service provider if in doubt) and that these settings are for Vodafone pay monthly tariff.  They will not work with Vodafone prepay or for any other network.  For excellent advice about GPRS, MMS, APN, WAP, GSM and other mobile phone internet settings, visit

Note that I have installed on my 5mx:
Email sync 1.15 and Email sync 1.15 upgrade
IMAP4 plugin
Mobile GPRS Update
Sink2
TCPIP update
The Dialler

--------------------------------------------------------
PART "B (1)" To Configure the Nokia 6230: --------------------------------------------------------

These settings are visible and editable in this order and in this form on the 6230.  On the 6230i they are completely different and, since the auto-configuration pre-installed on the phone worked first time, I suggest you use that.  In any case, I have been unable to create a manual set that works, despite matching them to those of the 6230 as closely as seems to be possible.  If it doesn’t work I suggest that you call customer support (for Vodafone call 191 from your handset).

To set up a new set of GPRS internet service settings:
1 Press Menu
2 Scroll up to Services and press Select
3 Scroll up to Settings and press Select
4 Stay on Connection Settings and press Select
5 Stay on Active Service Settings and press Select
6 Scroll down to an (empty) profile and press Activate
7 Scroll down to Edit Active Settings and press Select
8 Stay on Settings' Name and press Select press Clear to remove (empty) and enter Vodafone GPRS and press OK
9 Scroll down to Homepage and press Select, enter
http://wap:1999/vodafone.wml
10 Scroll down to Proxies and press Select, scroll to Enable and press Select
11 Scroll down to Primary proxy, press Select and enter 212.183.137.012
12 At Port (press Clear to remove numbers) and enter 8799 and press OK
13. Scroll down to Secondary proxy, at Proxy address: type 8080
14 Scroll down to Data Bearer and press Select, scroll to GPRS data and press Select
15 Scroll down to Bearer Settings and press Select
16 Stay on GPRS Access Point and press Select, enter wap.Vodafone.co.uk
17 Scroll down to Authentication type press Select, scroll to Normal and press Select
18 Scroll down to Data call type, press Select, scroll to Normal and press Select
20 Scroll down to Login Type and press Select, scroll to Automatic and press Select

22 Scroll down to Password and press Select and enter wap, press OK
23 At Verify password enter wap and press OK
24 Press Back
25 Keep pressing Back to return to the operator logo

--------------------------------------------
PART "B (2)" APN for Nokia 6230: --------------------------------------------

This bit is easily overlooked or in my case, I did not initially understand what it meant or where to find it.

1 Press Menu
2 Scroll down to Settings
3 Scroll down to Connectivity
4 Scroll down to GPRS
5 GPRS connection – I use “when needed” but you could easily choose “Always online”
6 Scroll down to GPRS modem settings
7 Scroll down to Edit active access point
8 Edit both “Alias for access point” and “GPRS access point” to be
“internet”
9 You have now named the APN to be internet – back out of the menu


-----------------------------
PART "C" Go Online:
-----------------------------

You should now be able to go online with the Psion using GPRS on the Nokia. Incidentally, your Nokia modem should now also work with a laptop computer as well, provided you’ve got your laptop correctly configured and your Nokia modem installed – but that’s another story!

To use the 6230 with the Psion 5MX you will need to activate the Infrared port on both the Psion and the Nokia.

To do this on the Psion:
1 Press Ctrl-L and select infrared

To do this on the Nokia:
1. Press Menu
2. Select Settings
3 Scroll down to Connectivity
4 Select Infrared

Anders,

I've a similar prblem with my E61 and I simply gave up. The EPOC
dialling software chokes on the phone's reply about its Fax
capabilities (there are none.) The test is made upon any dial attempt,
even if it's going to the internet. Someone has to get and modify the
source of the EPOC dial software to correct this, I'm afraid.
