    Hi,

    I have a GC79 and a GC89. Both of which I am trying to get working in
    two different laptops.

    They work fine when I use the Sony Ericsson Wireless Connection
    Manager. However, I need to have them set up via Dial-Up Networking
    (DUN) so I can automate the process of bringing the connection up and
    down.

    They are on the T-Mobile service, if that matters.

    I tried to dial *99***1#. It will connect, but sits at "registering on
    network" for a long time and then reports either a "timeout" or
    something about a failed response from the server.

    I did the AT+GCDCONT.... command that sets the APN to
    internet3.voicestream.com as profile 1.

    I suspect that I need additional modem initialization commands to
    properly make a connection.

    Any help would be appreciated!!!
    John

    Oh yes! Good ole S/E cards! The apn you have a grip on but the strangest
    oddity in the S/E cards is that it also takes an AT command to turn on the
    radio which is what the software manager does when you launch it. I
    believe all other brands start the radio as soon as they are plugged in
    which makes sense. The command for that is AT+CFUN=1 this can only be a 0
    or a 1, 1 is positive or on. The other part is registration AT+CGREG=1.
    The biggest pain about this is that the startup will fail the first time
    because it takes several seconds or more to power up the radio and let it
    find a signal. I use a 30 second holdoff before redialing. The init string
    can be concatenated into one string and it won't choke on it. Once you
    pass the command to set the radio to ON, it will NOT turn the radio off
    unless you unplug the card so the second time you pass the string, it
    ignores the AT commands that are already active in the card's current
    state and just dials and sets up the connection. It's basically a modem
    with a built in serial port but unlike other cards, it uses just one port
    for everything rather than a second port for information, signal strength
    and the like.

    try this. at+cgdcont=3,"IP","internet3.voicestream.com"

    and dial *99***3#

    the se card usually prefer cid 3 or higher when using a dun.

    Also you may want to add at+cfun=1; to the front, if you do, drop the
    second at. Windows will sometimes throw error 692 at you with the
    second at in there.

    That depends on how the card is configured.
