6682 as modem

This is better posted in the Cingular forums, since you will need some Cingular specifics, but basically assuming you are using winblows, you setup a new dial-up networking profile, tell it to use your phone as the modem (either over bluetooth or cable), and use *99****1# for the dial-up number (I think that's correct for Cingular, it's just *99# for T-Mobile). This will use your data plan, so if you aren't using unlimited data, you are going to get an assload of charges... plus I've heard that Cingular frowns on tethering, so even with unlimited data they might charge you, I don't know.

Wow. You're smart. I have the unlimited data package, so I'm glad you gave me that information at the end. Extra charges hurt too much.
 
If you use PC Suite for your phone, connect your phone via Blueooth or cable and select "Connect to the Internet". It can and will configure your phone to be used as a modem for you.
 
i am trying to connect my 6682 to my MacBook Pro, however when i set it up as a bluetooth modem it will try and establish connection with cingular gprs and then will come back saying that it cant establish a connect i have checked all the settings any help anyone can give with me much appreciated. thanks arul
 
when i plugged in my phone for the first time it setup a connection for me. All i had to do was add the user name and the password.

Just open up your Network Connection, you should have a icon that says 6682 OTA or simmilar. Open it up, make sure you type the right user and password. Open up settings and make sure you have the connection that the phone is on. USB, BT etcetc. Then it should open a connection via your phone.

Now remember, this isnt a overall fast connection. Download speed is ok, for me i get around 70-110K. Upload however has alot of latancy. This will give you the feeling of being slowwwww when browsing.
 
What a coincidence - I just got this working yesterday with my Mac.

The settings I have are:

Telephone #: **99***1#
Account Name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1

When I set up added my 6682, I chose the "Nokia 3G CID1" modem script.

I'm no expert on this, and spent way too much time trying to figure it out, but now that I'm done I'm happy.
 
I guess you're asking for the contents of the CID1 script I selected, which I sent in a PM. Note that I never bothered to look at the contents of this file when I selected it, and I don't know what it means.

I thought on the PC you just used PC Suite to connect to your phone and use it as a modem... Oh well, hope it helps!

Hey guys I went home during lunch and got it to work. I'm almost positive my speed said 473kbs. Is that possible or am I tripping? Please respond somebody.

If anyone is using Linux and wants to get up and running through tethering, this is what I used for a guide.

ok. i'm not tripping. I'm looking at my connection speed right now.

Speed: 460.8 kbs
Sent: 321,470 bytes
Received: 1.080.282 bytes

I know it's not going that fast, but is there a way I can tell what my exact speed is? When I download something, it shows a speed of about 1.15 kbs. What gives?
 
ya thats just your max, its set via the properties.

go to www.toast.net and do the bandwith tester.

Honestly, you might get 250k or so depending on area, but its not the download that kills your surfing. Its the uploading...its very high latency, giving the illusion that your web surfing is slower.
 
You are getting kilobits and kilobytes mixed up. Don't feel bad, this was done by design (companies using them interchangably). A Bit is an eight of a byte. So when you were downloading 460.8 kbs (lowercase means bits, always) you are downloading 57.5 KB (kilobytes, the numbers you see on a webpage when downloading, the numbers we use to measure storage , basically the numbers important to us).

As far as the 1.15kb thats a little more than 140KB a second, that is pretty darn fast on a phone.

Just remember this
kb!=KB
someone parse that an lemme know if it's right!
