Help For Making Gprs Connection Thru Irda.

[oyku]

Hi folks,

This topic may have been covered but I couldn't find concise information on this issue. Here's what I've done after unpacking my new Z (SL-6000)

1. Read may threads in th forum. Realize the importance of NAND backup
2. press D + P + reset go to menu 4 and make a NAND backup

Now I'm trying to make a GPRS connection thru irda. I've got Sony Ercsson T600 with GPRS set up and already using with my desktop via bluetooth.

Here's what I've done
1. In network connections set up a new connection for dialup thru irda.
2. enter *99# for phone number
3. enter ATZ for init string
4. hw flowcontrol

When trying to connect it hangs at initialization step. However on a noteook with irda and no special modem setup for the phone, I've managed to create a dial-up connection with the same phone number init string with ATZ using the "standard IR modem" device on a windows.

I've also verified that my phone and Z can connect thru irda and can exchange files. No hardware problems.

Changing the init string to
AT+cgdcont=1,\"IP\",\"XXX\"
where XXX is a operator supplied string.
I've also tried AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","XXX" (without back slashes)

Nothing changes. Network connection applet hangs at the initialization stage and aborts after a while and no activity on the phone.

PS: Using default Sharp ROM supplied.

Update for my post.
I've left the init string empty and it worked. !!!
I should have tried this before posting.  So for making gprs connection through irda, te init string in the modem tab SHOULD BE LEFT EMPTY

I've managed to solve my problem by manual editing ppp files. I'm wondering does anybody know how "chat.script.tmp" and "chat.script_gprs.tmp" is used. And by which script.

TIA.

When setting up the account on the 6000 what goes in username and password?

On the phone do you select irda or modem?

Actually I've solved my issue by manually entering information in the pap secrets file. I believe the GUI app does the same thing. The actual username and password depends on your operator. Many operators in Europe have a fixed username and password. So you've better check with your operator. In case your operator is Linux unfriendly and the operator at the call center resists on saying the same sentence over and over again, check out you phone settings. The username must be hidden in those setting somewhere. Or google for it. Hope this helps.

Leaving the init string empty got me connected to my provider.

Thanks for the tip.
