    Well, no one's told mine because it works fine :-)

    I have a Voda P910, NSC Bluecard BT adapter and Windows XP.

    No problems at all - happily connecting via Bluetooth to dialup on
    AT&T global and Nildram using the Vodafone network.

    Can you post any settings you have? I can get a connection, but just
    can't access anything. (also using XP, (a 910 and bluetooth).

    Same with me, Voda are going to call me with their "expert" on Monday so I
    will let you know.
    Spent two hours on the phone to Voda trying different settings but still the
    same, I get the connection but noting will download. Click on the properties
    of the connection, always the same about 5000k up load and 250k downloaded.
    Put the sim card into my old P900 and all is well, no problems at all....
    a strange one.

    I haven't changed/added any settings.

    I installed the modem driver from the disk (shows as Sony Ericsson
    P900 series BT modem) assigned a COM port for dialup networking,
    paired the phone and away it went.

    My laptop has XP SP1 (not SP2) which may or may not be relevent to
    your problem.

    Maybe it's certain combinations of the phone, BTdongles/cards etc.
    that causes the problems. Have you tried with a different BT
    dongle/card? Maybe worth trying it even if you have onboard BT on your
    laptop.

    Can you access anything via an IR modem connection with the P910?

    Connecting but not being able to access anything sounds more like DNS
    problems than hardware.

    Note I'm only using the phone for normal dialup via GSM, not GPRS - I
    have a multiSIM account and can't use GPRS.

    Just as an aside on the GPRS thing - If you can make a connection via
    GPRS but can't access anything, make sure you have the correct APN
    enabled on your Vodafone account. e.g if you connect to the WAP APN
    you won't be able to browse the 'real' Internet. You need to use the
    Internet APN which isn't usually set up by default on a Vodafone
    account.

    HTH.

    Have you considered the P910 might be faulty?

    I've actually got two (I bought myself one, sim free and unbranded,
    and then a couple of months later, work gave us all a Vodafone branded
    one so they could keep an eye on our diaries - we sync with Lotus
    Notes).

    Anyway, what I'm saying is that both work fine as BT modems for GSM
    dial up via Vodafone. Maybe your individual phone is the problem?

    Re: Voda & P910

    Good news,

    after spending another two hours on the horn to Voda I took the P910 to
    Carphone W where they flashed it with the latest software (getting rid of
    Voda start-up in the process, a plus in my book)

    Returned home and managed to get the thing to work as a Bluetooth modem for
    the first time!

    Nice

    Re: Voda & P910

    I think it is something like DNS or possibly the APN - but it looks OK.

    I'm using GPRS not GSM. Actually dial-ups via PC-Anywhere using the
    P910 modem work fine.


    Regards

    Chris
